On their second album, the cottage dwellers from Berkshire refined their hippie pop into a looser and vastly more mature work: evocative tales of nonsense in the beautiful "40,000 Headmen," joyful malarkey with Mason's "You Can All Join In," ...    Full Description

3 stars top 10 all time
The best album from one of the most talented groups to ever get together.Used to listen to this album as a kid in 68 and the new CD is excellent. The song writing is superb and the dynamics and accents on each # are creative genius. A must have for any serious collector of classic rock.

5 stars Traffic IS true hippie pop-rock!
A true inspirational collection of fantasy, fun and collective imagination. A true relic of a revolutionary time in history that stands up through the years, as all great works of art do. This album belongs on the shelf next to Sgt Pepper's, Led Zepplin I and Who's Next. If you are looking for the true spirit of the 60's with all the humor and compassion of the times and more, buy this album!

Perhaps the most creative and innovative album of the era.One of the top rock albums of all time and I mean right up there in the Sgt. Pepper category.

5 stars SECOND TIMES BETTER
ANOTHER CLASSIC BY TRAFFIC.A REAL ROCK AND ROLL BAND. THIS ALBUM PRETTY PICKS UP WERE MR FANTASY LEAVES OFF. ONCE AGAIN THESE MUSICIANS ARE ABLE TO MAKE A GREAT ALBUM. SONGS LIKE PEARLY QUEEN AND CRYING TO BE HEARD ARE PHENOMINAL.THE CD STARTS OFF GOOD WITH YOU CAN ALL JOIN IN. THIS GROUP PRETTY MUCH SETS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW GREAT ROCK AND ROLL WAS BACK IN THE 60S. I WISH BANDS TODAY COULD BE MORE LIKE THAT ERA.

Heaven Is In Your Mind

Traffic Heaven Is In Your Mind CD  (1967) USA Version; Remastered

Traffic album
CD $12.05  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Rehearsed and written at a cottage in the Berkshire countryside, Traffic's debut was former child prodigy Steve Winwood's first foray into headier territory after a stint playing R&B-fueled rock & roll with the Spencer Davis Group. Rounded out by drummer Jim Capaldi and multi-instrumentalists Chris Wood and Dave Mason, Traffic's 1967 debut MR. FANTASY was originally released in the U.S. under the title HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND. This reissue contains the album as it appeared in the U.S. plus several bonus tracks. The record includes experimentation with vaudeville-inspired numbers ("Berkshire Poppies"), flamenco-flavored fantasy ("Dealer") and sitar-drenched meditations ("Utterly Simple"). Winwood's inspired organ playing and soulful singing pokes out on cuts like "Coloured Rain." In keeping with the band's unorthodox approach to composition and arrangement, "Giving To You" offers a funky groove sandwiched between tidbits of an overheard conversation about the relative merits of jazz. Originally released on Island (9061). Additional Tracks Recorded at Olympic Sound Studios, London, England between April and November 1967. Traffic: Steve Winwood (vocals, guitar, piano, harpsichord, organ, bass, percussion); Dave Mason (vocals, guitar, sitar, tamboura, shakkai, Mellotron, bass); Chris Wood (vocals, flute, saxophone, organ); Jim Capaldi (vocals, drums, percussion). Reissue producer: Bill Levenson.

Traffic Last Exit CD  (1969) Remastered

Traffic CD music
CD $6.39  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
LAST EXIT is a collection of studio tracks and live tracks recorded at The Fillmore West, San Francisco, California. Half live, half studio, LAST EXIT is a fitting testament to Traffic's strengths in both arenas. This 1969 release was the band's third album in two years, titled as such because it was to be their farewell. Upon disbanding, Steve Winwood joined the short-lived BLIND FAITH, only to reconvene Traffic a year later with their classic JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE. The catchy, playful pop of Dave Mason's "Just For You" and Winwood's "Medicated Goo" are classic Traffic, sounding of a piece with their debut, MR. FANTASY. Though pared down to a trio at this point--Winwood (organ, vocals), Chris Wood (saxophone and flute), and Jim Capaldi (drums, vocals)--Traffic also performs well in the way of extended jams. Two long selections recorded live at the Fillmore West never falter. The band's version of Anthony Newley's "Feelin' Good" exalts at every turn, with Capaldi's drums springing out of Winwood's church-y Hammond like a percussive hallelujah chorus. Originally released on Island (9097). Additional Tracks Traffic: Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi. Producer: Jimmy Miller. Reissue producer: Bill Levenson.
John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic John Barleycorn Must Die CD  (1970) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Traffic music CDs
CD $6.39  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Although JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE was originally intended as Steve Winwood's post-Blind Faith solo debut, Winwood and producer/label head Chris Blackwell first drafted Jim Capaldi to provide lyrics, and then Chris Wood dropped by to add his familiar reeds, and almost by accident, Traffic was reborn. This was a different, and better, Traffic than the ill-fated quartet lineup with Dave Mason, which never entirely settled on an artistic direction. The sound of JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE, on the other hand, remained the template for the rest of the reunited band's career--long, organically developed songs with a subtle jazz-rock feel, powered by Capaldi's percussion and Winwood's organ. "John Barleycorn," a traditional English folk song about the process of brewing ale (not, as the liner notes mistakenly claim, a call for temperance), here becomes a pastoral reverie carried along by flute and acoustic guitar, and proves to be the record's highlight. However, the quality of the other songs, particularly the instrumental opener, "Glad," and the outstanding ballad "Empty Pages," is nearly as high. Originally released on Island (9116). Additional Tracks Traffic: Steve Winwood (vocals, acoustic guitar, flute, piano, organ, bass instrument, percussion); Jim Capaldi (vocals, drums, tambourine, percussion); Chris Wood (flute, saxophone, electric saxophone, organ, percussion). Liner Note Author: Brian Hogg. Recording information: Island Studios, London, England; Olympic Studios, London, England.

Traffic Welcome To The Canteen CD  (1971) Remastered

CD $6.39  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
If your familiarity with Traffic extends no further than the band's first two albums--1967's MR. FANTASY and 1968's TRAFFIC--you might not have thought about Traffic in terms of a performance entity. In fact, Traffic became quite a flexible live act, documented on half of LAST EXIT (1969), WELCOME TO THE CANTEEN (1971), and ON THE ROAD (1973). By the time of CANTEEN, Dave Mason had left the band. Traffic expanded its rhythm section of founding member Jim Capaldi (drums) and newcomer Ric Grech (bass) with drummer Jim Gordon and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah. Steve Winwood's playing and singing, along with Chris Wood's saxophones and flute, dance across this rhythmic field like young colts on a hillside. CANTEEN was recorded in London, and Dave Mason even shows up to guest on his own "Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave." ;Replaces #Pol842417 Recording information: Fairfield Hall, Croydon, England (07/1971); Oz Benefit Concert, London, England (07/1971). Traffic: Steve Winwood (vocals, guitar, electric piano, organ); Dave Mason (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Jim Capaldi (vocals, tambourine, percussion); Chris Wood (flute, saxophone, electric piano); Rick Grech (bass instrument); Jim Gordon (drums); Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion).

Traffic Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys CD  (1971) Bonus Tracks

Traffic album
CD $6.39  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS was a big change from the quiet, largely acoustic flavor of Traffic's reunion album JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE. Although the gentle opening track, "Hidden Treasure," and the meandering, mellow closer, "Rainmaker," were in keeping with the pastoral vibe of the previous record, sandwiched in between those are several increasingly aggressive and lyrically sour songs about that evergreen topic--life in a rock & roll band. The venality of the business gets a workout in the 12-minute title track, a slow-building jazz-rock groove that starts with a sense of quiet menace and ends with a pealing, distorted guitar solo, with one of Steve Winwood's most impassioned and lengthy organ solos at the song's heart. "Rock & Roll Stew" and Jim Capaldi's sneering putdown "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" are even more forceful, with only the groovy ecological message of "Many a Mile to Freedom" lightening the mood. Even that song rocks harder than anything on JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE, though, and that extra hint of power is likely what helped make THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS Traffic's most commercially successful album in the United States. Originally released on Island (9180). Additional Tracks Traffic: Steve Winwood (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Jim Capaldi (vocals, percussion); Rick Grech (violin, bass instrument); Chris Wood (flute, saxophone); Jim Gordon (drums); Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion). Recording information: Island Studios, London, England (09/1971).
Three Eps
Beta Band Three Eps CD  (1999)

Traffic CD music
CD $14.09  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
As the title suggests, this disc collects the first three UK releases by Scotland's Beta Band. Singer/guitarist Stephen Mason, bassist Richard Greentree, drummer Robin Jones, and DJ/tape manipulator John McLean demonstrate astonishingly febrile imaginations over the course of these 12 songs. They pick up and discard ideas with wicked glee and a contagious try-anything-once attitude. Imagine Frank Zappa, Beck, and Robert Wyatt leading the Bonzo Dog Band! Another strong influence appears to be turn-of-the-'70s Pink Floyd, given the band's fondness for near-inaudible tape loops and Mason's astonishingly Roger Waters-like voice. Like such contemporaries as Gomez and Arnold, The Beta Band can leap from the Delta-blues influence of "Dry The Rain" or the mantra-like "She's The One" to the funky dub groove of "Monolith" and make the broad stylistic jumps look easy.

Friday Nite In The Big City
Henryk De Rewenda Friday Nite In The Big City CD  (2007)

Traffic CD music
CD $10.15
Henryk De Rewenda told us a story that we want to quote here. His words: I arrived in the U.S. on a gloomy Tuesday night in December, O'Hare, Chicago. It was an exciting time for me, so my memories are like a video, that can recall second-by-second, events of at least the first few weeks. Ever since I can remember, I was interested in America, specifically in the enormous African American contribution to its culture. I felt, I had arrived at the source, where everything I was interested in was happening. So, three nights later, I found myself on Halsted in a small but important club, called "Blues", where the honorable Muddy Waters was performing. It was a feast, simply unforgettable!I left the club at 2:00 a.m., decided not to spend my money on buses, so I walked home. It was about six miles, a cold December night in Chicago, no snow yet, but something people called "black ice", covering the asphalt surface of the street. It was reflecting street lights, neons and everything. It looked to me like the "Milky Way" and I was walking on it. There were many things that I observered that night, it was the life of the city. So when I got home, I scribbled a song. It started like this:"It's Friday nite in the big cityDon't know nobody, don't have no friends"Our first offering from Jowenda Records, "FRIDAY NITE IN THE BIG CITY", performed by Henryk De Rewenda, is a collection of songs, that expresses our direction in a creative process. Henryk, with his unique perspective and voice, deals in his songs with matters of everyday life, as if saying: "hear is what I think, what is your response?" Human life is after all about conversation. All of the songs on the CD use "blues idiom" as a starting point. Big bottom bass and drums are there to caress the hauting melodies and improvised musical lines. Everything's suspended in jazzy harmonies. And of course, Henryk's voice, bigger than life, sultry and sexy. You have to hear it for yourself to believe it!
