Traffic

Mr. Fantasy 77

A nice debut album by this supergroup. The band definitely sounds very original on this record with the use of the flute, sitar, and percussion sounds. The songs lack some development as compared with their later work. The basic structure is there but a little more substance(deeper lyrics, more varied solos, alternate melody), is not consistently displayed. None the less there are enough good songs to make this a worthwhile investment.

John Barley Corn Must Die 93

Now if only the present Steve Windwood could look back on this recording he made with Jim Capaldi and the late Chris Wood. This is what good music is all about. Natural sounds and pulsating rhythms exist everywhere and the special touches from Chris Wood on flute and saxophone really standout. The first side of this just might be the blue print of a Perfect Album side. Afficinodos of rock and jazz instrumental interplay should snatch this record up as this is a real treat for the ears.

Low Spark Of Hi Heeeled Boys 90

This one is almost as good as its predecessor. Again only six songs but oh what snappy rhythms. The band expanded by adding an extra percussion player. The lyrics are very thought provoking here as there seems to be much depth in the song-writing. Its a shame there isn't more music out there today like this today.
