Free Music Notes for Traffic
Free Music Review: Among the best of 1968
Hit: 5 Stars
I noticed the release date of 1968 and thought to myself this had to be among the top releases of 1968. Would I rather have the White Album or Traffic? Wow, I can not decide.Free Music Review: Traffic, Part Two
Hit: 5 Stars
Traffic's 2nd album, simply called "Traffic," is a classic album that mixes songs from both singer/keyboardist Steve Winwood (the bigger, more dramatic, art-rock kind of stuff), and singer/guitarist Dave Mason (the simpler, more-introspective, straightforward kind of stuff). But it all hangs together, the music simply brilliant. Includes such classics as Mason's sing-along "You Can All Join In," "Don't Be Sad," the harpsicord-flavored "Cryin' To Be Heard," and the all-time radio favorite, "Feelin' Alright," as well as Winwood staples "Pearly Queen," the magnificent acoustic tale of "Forty Thousand Headmen," the groovy "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring," and the gorgeous number, "No Time To Live." Mason, however, disagreeing with Winwood over Traffic's direction, would soon leave the band (though he would briefly return for a tour, documented on "Welcome To The Canteen"). But he definitely left his mark with the band, having made two fantastic albums with them, "Mr. Fantasy," and this one. "Traffic" is an outstanding disc. Free Music Review: Traffic Jam!

It is unbelievable to me how this classic album of innovative musical gems wasn't included in Rolling Stone's top 500 records of all time.It just floors me...Free Music Review: You can all join in

How much fun is this!This CD serves as a great time piece of an era gone by, that's not meant to be bad or good, just an observation. The way the recording production is handled and the mix, it's impossible to find this sound today without going back. I get so much joy from so many recordings between 1967 and 1975 that I am somehow tied to that era and this CD does not disappoint. The craftsmanship and playing is so relaxed and natural, the effortless style and vocal harmonies mixed with Winwoods beautiful organ work creates an infectious summertime cool breeze feeling. The mood is mellow throughout (with a upbeat groove) but not in a pretentious attempt at creating something "cool" it is simply what happens when great musicians create music with joy and skill.

Absolutely essential. Jim Capaldi, Steve WInwood, and Dave Mason are at their creative peaks. Had I known how exceptional this album was, I would have picked it up sooner. Songs like "You Can All Join In," "Pearly Queen," "Forty Thousand Headmen," and all the other tracks on this album epitomize the special qualities attributed to 1960s classic rock. I especially dig Winwood's vocals with the flute din backdrop...real cool!
