Free Music Review: The best Traffic album you haven't got
Hit: 5 Stars

Let me tell you what I think of this record: This record is so good that, after ten years of owning the LP, being scratched, warped, mistreated, and all beat to hell, I am moved to log on to my dial-up connection for the sole purpose of telling y'all how happy it makes me when I listen. It's an incredibly intimate, relaxing, compassionate album. With all the greatness Traffic gave the world over its years- Dear Mr. Fantasy, Low Spark, John Barleycorn; this one really stands out to me in a way that isn't better than those classics but definitely stands apart from them.
This one sells terribly because it's overpriced, and it's the swan song of a dead band, and has much of the sentimentality and schmaltz that you might fear from a Steve Winwood solo album, but, well, yes it's schmaltzy, but we all need that sometimes. And face it, Winwood's voice is as dulcit(yet piercing) as anyone's in rock, so if you're going to hit the sugar, this is the kind to hit. The second side of the record (tracks 4-end for you cd people) are really tender, all of them, and the first side features "Dream Gerard"- a trancy groove with many of the qualities you loved from "Low Spark"'s title track. "Gerrard" has a melancholy flavor that is much different from that classic, and in some ways surpasses it. "graveyard people" is also a solid, somewhat eerie track that bears mentioning.
Anyway, I've said my peace, for myself more than anything else. I hope in reading this you know what to expect from this record. Get it. No one you know has it, so you can't borrow it, and there's something about comforting music floating through your head as you go through your day, especially when you're the only one who knows the lyrics- it makes that music yours.
Nuff said!
