I missed hearing that tune and when I bought the cd I thought of only that song but the whole cd just isn't long enough. I wanted more it's great.Free Music Review: beautiful recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this cd. I can listen to Rainmaker, Low Spark and Hidden Treasure 1,000 times and not tire of them - the music is so extraordinary & eerie - meaningful too.Low spark has this beat like a heart-beat, you can pace your whole life by it. Shades of Bach, which I think, in time, this music will be more & more compared to. I, personally, am not much into the rocking Jim Capaldi numbers, but that is the beauty of cd listening, one can pick & choose. I would recommend everyone who loves music to own this cd. Also check out When the Eagle Flies and Last Exit - two other extraordinary Traffic recordings.

1971's "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" is one of Traffic's all-time greatest. Singer/guitarist/keyboardist Steve Winwood, drummer Jim Capaldi & flautist Chris Wood are joined on this one by bassist Rich Grech, drummer Jim Gordon & percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah, and the resulting album is a phenomenal blend of Traffic's great flare for rock, jazz, funk & folk all rolled into one. "Hidden Treasure" is a beautiful acoustic number. The 11-minute-plus title song is one of the band's signature pieces, with outstanding mood & musicianship as Winwood & company build it up & build it up into an amazing prog-jazz fusion jam. It is truly thrilling stuff. "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone" is a fun rocker, and Traffic get the funk out with the awesome "Rock 'N' Roll Stew." "Many A Mile To Freedom" is wistful & brimming with fine melody, and "Rainmaker" is masterfully steady, with the band riding into the sunset with style & some killer jamming at the end. This is without a doubt one of the best albums that Steve Winwood & company have ever done. "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" is heavy Traffic all the way.Free Music Review: A Timeless Recording

I think I can certainly be included among the most devoted 5 Traffic fans of all time. This is MY desert island record, the only record I could NOT live without. Enough said.
