Traffic--The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys. Stevie Winwood is still awesome after all these years; this recoed still sounds as fresh and innovative as when I first had the privilege of hearing it back in 1971! Long live Traffic!

White Knight! I'm not going to get into the vernacular of "The low spark of high-heeled boys",
listening to that record when it came out in the early seventies, and it was very slow and non-rhythmed,
Stevie Winwood experimenting with his own solo recording ability by then. That wasn't Traffic.
I still like his "Gimme Some Loving" with The Spenser Davis Trio.
Liking this very mellow record, you should give "Manfred Mann's Chapter Four" a listen.
After "Quinn the Eskimo" a Brit-pop post Beatle phase, and his progressive rock hit singles,
he made an album with horns, all slow and slow paced songs, a beautiful record.

20th Century Masters {Millennium Edition}--The Best Of Stevie Winwood

@ John, I'll give the Manfred Mann joint a try on Spotify. Vis a vis Stevie Winwood, he remains one of my favorite singers and musicians both when he was with Traffic {one of my all-time fave prog rock bands}, Blind Faith and when he launched his solo career. For me--as with Rod Stewart--his voice has a kind of raspy quality, but in a good and very expressive way.

Traffic--Shootout at the Fantasy Factory

Just listen to this winsome and jazz-inflected piece from Traffic's great album Shootout at the Fantasy Factory. It brings to mind another of my favorite jazz influenced works of theirs called Freedom Rider, from John Barleycorn Must Die: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature= detailpage&v=4MHtxDqA9jE

Listening to some Traffic which I had mentioned last night; a very "jazzy' prog rock work, especially its opening salvos {Glad}: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=X84JnZ0vTi0
