A&A 🎸🎶 this is why I sent you the blacklight poster lava lamp and incense...umm hmmm🍄🍄🍄🧐😉😉😸
Make make it snappy
You definitely have to try " Low Spark of High Heeled Boys "
I was a little surprised you didn't talk about the unbelievable vocal that rips my gut out ... but I chalk it up to your being so blown away by the work in toto. Awesome reaction!
Love me some Traffic. Try the songs, "Shoot-out At the Fantasy Factory," and "Low Spark of High-heeled Boys."
On a busy NYC street in the early 2000s an aging hippie stoner recognized Jim Capaldi. He went up to him and said " Your song Mr Fantasy kept me alive in the jungle in Vietnam in 1968. Thank you."
And "Can't Find My Way Back Home" which has Steve Winwood of Traffic in a band called Blind Faith.
So great.
Covered still today by big timers.
Steve, *Can't Find My Way Home* is one of my 3 top all time favorite songs! I don't care who covers it...! (probably heard 17 covers..fun fact: It's the most played song in movies)
Blind Faith had Winwood and Ric Grech from Traffic as well as Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker from Cream.
It's been covered by SO many big names. Absolutely gorgeous song.
Not to mention Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker
Make it snappy, guys! As an old geezer who was 14 in 1967 when Mr. Fantasy came out, I've got to say it's great watching you guys react to all this music I grew up with and never stopped loving. I honestly get a charge out of knowing something recorded 53 years ago can still be appreciated by people hearing it for the first time.
never gets old hearing this song heard also in 1967 when i was 14 !! Am 69 now and going strong.
STEVE WINWOOD (writer/singer) also sang "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith. Just the tip of the WINWOOD iceberg for certain.
There's a further coda-like outro drifting thru the fade!!
Yea, make it snappy.
John Barleycorn Must Die is amazing with headphones. It's an old English poem. Traffic takes you back to old England in time. Stevie Winwood is a musical virtuoso.
I love that tune. Steve is absolutely amazing!!
Steve Winwood = Genius. 55 year career. He can sing and play anything.
He's one of those annoying dudes who can pick up an instrument and ten minutes later, he's able to play stuff. But the VOCALS. GORGEOUS.
Mark Grant Elite!
Britain’s answer to Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder in his early years...a prodigy
There’s a TH-cam video of Winwood and Clapton and Bramhall and Gadd etc. performing Can’t Find My Way Home. You probably know the video. Winwood plays guitar with Clapton with dual leads. He’s great.
@@5891jonathan I have seen it... it's amazing !
Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys next.
An absolute must, agreed!!!!
Got my vote ... Subscribe!!!
Yes!
HELL YES!
The thing that you're hearing is only the sound of ...
Try “Can’t Find My Way Home” by Blind Faith. Features Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood. Classic song.
Even their modern version is fantastic!
th-cam.com/video/eoSn2Y-b6wI/w-d-xo.html Steve winwood acoustic version
Just saw a solo by Winwood over quarantine, really great version of this
Great cut, but I prefer "Do What You Like".
Amazing Song....Definitely
Anything by Steve Winwood can't go wrong! Great guitarist, keyboards, mandolin etc! Traffic,Blind faith and solo career!
Don’t forget ‘The Spencer Davis Group’ with Steve’s brother Muff. ❤ 5:23
"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is the next logical choice -- an incredible eery, jazzy, melodic sound unlike anything. Steve Winwood being a serious vocal talent in this band, as well as previous band Spencer Davis Group "I'm a Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin" when he was SIXTEEN years old... ! Then he was in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, and later had a brilliant solo career starting in 1980 with "Arc of the Diver". Steve Winwood is such a class act.
Yeah..what you said...
Paper Sun
My favorite Traffic!
I couldn't add a word to what you said ... and I'm *never* at a loss for words! 🙏
NAILED IT.
Next Traffic should be Low Spark of High Heeled boys. Next Steve Winwood should be Can't Find My Way Home with Blind Faith (Clapton and Baker). It's a KNOCKOUT.
Preach brother!
Don’t forget 40000 headmen on that list
What Lucie said.
Anything Blind Faith! Make it snappy!
Those were killer tunes.
The guitarist, Dave Mason, played 12-string acoustic on Hendrix's 'All Along The Watchtower'. But the awesome Fender Jaguar solo on this track is by Steve Winwood.
Saw Dave Mason last year. Still a great performer in his 70's!
I stumbled upon an outdoor concert a few years ago in downtown Denver. Dave Mason was performing, OMG his voice was still clear and strong. What a treat!!!!
Dave Mason does a great rendition of All Along the Watchtower.
Dave played bass on most Traffic- Winwood played every lead guitar until the live Traffic: Welcome to the Canteen’
@@Grovesgeo In the studio, Mason only played bass on "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Dealer", and "Cryin' to be Heard", although he played more bass live (Mason, Winwood, and Wood split the bass duties live). Winwood played most bass on the records. There's live footage of the original lineup playing "Giving To You" showing Mason on lead guitar (Winwood organ, Wood flute, Capaldi drums of course). @Andy & Alex if you haven't heard the "Dear Mr. Fantasy" from 'Welcome to the Canteen' it's well worth it!
My wife and I attended a small and intimate triple-bill concert more than two decades ago, and Traffic guitarist Dave Mason (whose fretwork we heard on this song) and his band were the third act on the bill. It was an on-the-lawn concert, and we sat about three feet from the stage. At the end of his excellently performed set, he asked the audience for a song to perform as his encore. We requested this song, and he PLAYED THE HECK OUT OF IT. His guitar defied physical laws by not instantaneously combusting in his hands during that song.
If you get the chance to see Dave Mason perform with his own backing band, I recommend that you take the necessary steps to attend that performance...and make it snappy.
Didn't Dave Mason write A Little Help From My Friends? I remember him performing it in a small setting and he said something like that. Love him!
Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home" a mellow classic features: Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton.
CS&N - "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" a must.
Ten Years After - "Going Home" (Woodstock version).
Great picks. Those would be amazing! Ten Years After... Is a Wow!! :)
I always liked 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain by Ten Years After.
These are all great recommendations!
"Presence Of The Lord" for Blind Faith. :)
"Guinnevere" for CS & N
Ten years after
Everybody is probably telling you this: " Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" should be your next traffic tune.
Jim Gordon's drumming on that track is phenomenal and I'd moot that his presence is what makes that album their best.
Will up your cool status!
I love Steve Winwood solo version of John Barleycorn Must Die
@@ericwagner1824 And they need to read about it, and comment on the meaning as well!
I am!
Dave Mason played bass, and sang harmony , Steve played keys, guitar , and sang lead , Jim Capaldi much underated drummer , formed Traffic....Steve plays keys on Hendrix's Electric Ladyland album .Dave Mason plays the 12 string rhythm on All Along the watch Tower.......Man I wish you all could post a reaction to Hendrix ... Cross Town Traffic is a serious banger
He started playing in pubs with his dad and brother when he was eight. In middle school he was backing blues legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. At fourteen he joined a group and by 16 he was in a group with a record deal. He bought his estate when he was a teenager and has lived in it ever since.
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys one of the best songs of all time.
cmel714 It’s one of my favorites!
Live version
Agreed, 110%!! 😷👌
I agree!! Low spark is the shit!!👌👌👌
“The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” “Can’t Find My Way Home” “Glad/Freedom Rider” “Sea of Joy” “Empty Pages”
oh, and make it snappy :)
Great list. I'd add Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory and Medicated Goo.
Tyrone Sharp I would agree. I personally would have liked to add Medicated Goo and Shanghai Noodle Factory to my original list, but not as many people like those, so I didn’t....
yes! Many a Mile to Freedom & Heaven is in Your Mind & 40 Thousand Headmen
One of the all-time great rock instrumentals "Glad" is off of their John Barleycorn Must Die album (my favorite Traffic album). It's a fantastic lead-in to another monster - "Freedom Rider". You should check it out.
Agreed!
Hell Yeah !!!
Gonna dog in the crates and give this a listen all over again
Yes yes yes!
One of the best albums of all time in my opinion.
Finally you have discovered as important a band as ever was. Winwood played....almost everything. Organ, Piano and THAT LEAD!!!! As well as singing. I been telling you guys about Traffic forever. Anyway a lot of people will suggest Low Spark of High Heel Boys (I have in the past) but really for next it's two songs that roll up into one, from the album John Barleycorn Must Die...Glad/Freedom Rider phenomenal!!!
I forgot how great this song is. "The Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys"
Traffic was a fantastic band.
Empty Pages should be next, or any tune from the album John Barleycorn Must Die.
The whole album is incredible.
Yes
Absolutely, Freedom Rider and Glad!
One of my favorites is Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
John Barleycorn is Great
Love John Barley on. Every cut a classic...once again, I'm northward bound!
Robin Trower, Bridge of Sighs, and too rolling stoned.
Day of the eagle too.
Hell yeah! Saw Trower live during the "Bridge of Sighs" tour. IMO that album was a true relevatory experience with rock music 🤯
The drummer is Jim Capaldi (RIP) who played with Winwood, Clapton, Hendrix and George Harrison and was one of the best of his generation.
Steve Winwood also wrote "I'm a Man" when he was 15 with the Spencer Davis Group...Chicago covered it...
He joined the band at 14 years old.
Stevie Winwood is one of those unsung rock heroes. He is a superb singer guitar player and keyboard player as well as a songwriter and a bit of a child prodigy. He was only 17 when with the Spencer Davis Group had massive hit with ‘Gimme some lovin’ His voice and his keyboard skills amazed everyone then. A. Few years later he formed Traffic and brought out the LP Mr Fantasy which blew us away again. I have seen this man live and he stands up with best of them .
A superb song, lyrics, vocals and instruments superb... Winwood did his definitive live version at Eric Clapton's Crossroads festival in 2007! Enormous talent, enough said.
I love Dear Mr. Fantasy. Thank you all for reacting to this timeless classic.
Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.
Stevie Winwood was 14 years old when he joined the Spencer Davis Group, and 19 when he joined Traffic, and sang and co-wrote this song.
I would recommend listening to some Spencer Davis Group. Especially Give Me Some Lovin' and I'm A Man. Steve Winwood was a legend still in his mid teens.
50 years ago this week, “John Barleycorn Must Die” was released...and I bought it that week. Still sounds amazing.
You old fart! :-)
We were fortunate to grow up when we did. You could go to your local record store and find gold on every aisle. It's our job to introduce it all to these guys' generation.
Far and away Traffic's best album in my opinion. Side 1 may be one of the best album sides of all time: Glad, Freedom Rider, Empty Pages....just amazing.
Great album indeed. I just discovered that one about a year ago.
This song was always in the top 5 of every top 500 countdown all time, along with Stairway, Freebird…. Also Steve Windwood is one of the most underrated guitarists ever, since it’s not even his main instrument.
This song is about 60 something years old. It's an old, old song but still just as beautiful today. Traffic is on of the greatest band in musical history! Play John Barly Corn. You'll love it ❤
Imagine hearing this when it was released in 1967, when we had not heard anything quite like this before! Turned our heads slap around!
"John Barleycorn Must Die" was a great Traffic LP, Steve Winwood's personal favorite.
their best of many
That was my first Traffic album. It was a gateway album to many more.
@@davitt77 Yeah. I worked my way back from there too.
One of my favorite songs! I saw them sing it live in concert and yes, they made it snappy! Jim Capaldi, the drummer, was an amazing musician, writer, and singer (although Steve Winwood sang for Traffic). Capaldi had solo albums and was incredible with his cover of " Oh Lord, Why Lord" with Eric Clapton ripping the guitar. Winwood is also known for his involvement in The Spencer Davis Group ("Gimme Some Lovin") and Blind Faith. Also in Traffic are Dave Mason and Chris Woods. Tight band and all incredible musicians in their own right. Thank you. I loved this reaction!
I think Capaldi wrote 'Love Hurts' or co-wrote it!
A real deep one is called for in snappish attention. That one is "Shanghai Noodle Factory" with utterly dazzling hippy choir boy vocals tearing out of WINWOO
D's fertile mind, soil, & lung
s.. NOT to mention "Freedom Rider" from the FAB John Barleycorn album. Boy!, boys, the Traffic diehards are SURE coming out from under those moss-civered English moorside rocks, aren't they? (I'm 76 & was there,
first time around, during the '67 "Summer of Love." OMG😱.....
Man... you can't go wrong with a song with Steve Winwood on vocals. His voice is smooth as velvet.
OUTLAWS : "GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES"
♡♡♡FULL VERSION
YES!
Wish I could give you a hundred thumbs up for that.
Absolutely S -Tier......perhaps beyond...........?
Been asking for this one literally for months. It was promised a few weeks back, but still nothing. I'm thinking maybe one of them has a predisposed bias against southern rock.
“One day you’ll be cool. Look under your bed. It’ll set you free.” ~ Almost Famous ~ It’s so fun watching you young’uns enjoying all the music of my youth. There is so much to discover-make it snappy.
I LOVE Traffic and when I saw you were covering thIs song I was worried you guys might not really get them. I should never have doubted you! I was so happy that not only did you get them you totally appreciated how unique and freaking brilliant they are. ❤️
Thank You For covering Dear Mr. Fantasy. I have always loved this tune and don’t hear unless I break out my copy. It is just so Soulful, So Powerful and So Hypnotic all at the same time. It Zones me where I can close my eyes and elevated somewhere else or just take in Jim Capaldi’s Drumming, The Guitar or Steve Winwood’s Voice. They are all addictive in their own respect in this song. Keep On Cats, Make It Snappy...!!!
Thanks Again 🎸
“Make it Snappy” you have to realize there is a genealogy in Rock, Steve Winwood was in the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and Traffic! If you think of it this way, every band and or group has the “DNA” of other bands that you can follow and hear how an artist matured in their performance, style, creativity. To really appreciate Rock, and other genres, study the artists, like Jimmy Hendrix for example, he was with the acts like the Isley Brothers, Little Richard and then discovered by Keith Richard’s girlfriend and Chas Chandler of The Animals. Go back and listen from the 50’s thru the 60’s and 70’s to hear how the sound evolved. I’m just an old Boomer Music Nerd who was lucky to have grown up in those times. Rock🤘
Amen to that. It's like taking Steve Winwood out of Traffic & and Jack Bruce and you've got Cream. And on and on...
TheRstb you got it!
well said!
Absolutely Spot On, it’s what made Rock & Roll, Rock & Roll, baby!
Traffic: THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH-HEELED BOYS ... my highest recommendation guys. Trust me.
Also Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home... Steve Winwood can't be denied.
If there's a reason to not give this song an 'S', it's because you have yet to hear their masterpiece, 'Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'. This song really doesn't introduce you to Chris Wood, who is a phenomenal woodwind player. Oddly enough, the guy playing the big guitar chops in this song was the keyboardist in a little ole band called Blind Faith, whose lead guitar player was Eric Clapton. Happy 4th guys!
Fantasy still gets an S.
Traffic is a journey. And this song is one of a couple of their songs that's often an intro to them. It's such a fantastic song. And not even their best. I look forward to your journey through their catalog. Make it snappy!
Steve Winwood: "Low Spark of High Heel Boys" with Traffic or or "Can't Find My Way Home" with Blind Faith next.
And make it snappy!
Yea! Snappy!
THANKS FOR PICKING TRAFFIC! If you liked this and you want something very unique and vibey try “Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys!” 💗💗💗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Steve Winwood always so good at layering so many instruments. Love this song…
When I saw this come up I was so pleased. For me, it's always been an "S". Glad you think so too. [purchased as an import in late 1960s whilst stationed in Hawaii. Still treasured]. Also got to see Blind Faith there!
The Spark of High- Healed Boys - - showcase Traffic!
Low spark is my all time favorite of Traffic. Great band
Yup, me too!
I saw traffic in concert about 15 years or so ago. They played for 3 hours and only played 12 songs - and each one was a masterpiece in musicianship!
That song was co-written and sung by the amazing Steve Winwood - who was (wait for it) 19 when that was recorded. He really made it snappy.
Other songs? "Low Spark..." and "No Face No Name No Number" are a must, as is "Paper Sun". "Can't find my way home" (which I cover in my own gigs!) and "Sea of Joy" - both by Winwood's later band Blind Faith. And also some of the blue-eyed soul he did with Spencer Davis Group - "Keep on Running" (those vocals - from a teenager. Astounding.)
Steve Winwood. Singing and true multi- instrumentalist musician. Low- Spark Of High Heel Boys
First big boy from Traffic. Each of their albums brought a new sound. So many to do. Low Spark...should be next.
These kids today, discovering epic tunes, and epic musicians for the first time. I like it. Yes all of us forty and fifty year olds were way spoiled growing up with seriously amazing music.
I bought this album just a couple of weeks after it was released, always loved this track.
Next Traffic song - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys...good to get lost in the sauce.
Everyone forgets how good of a guitarist Steve Winwood is. I saw him in concert opening for Tom Petty and he joined them on stage during Petty's set for a few songs and he tore it up.
He's one of those super annoying people who can walk into a room and there's an oboe in the corner. He picks it up and fiddles around, and ten minutes later he can play a tune on it.
I would've KILLED to see that concert. Steve and Tom are all time greats in my book. Fucking rest in peace, Tom.
Winwood is tragically underrated.
"medicated goo" or "light up or leave me alone" are my 2 favorite Traffic songs
Hey, make it snappy haha! This was my favorite song by Traffic for quite a while but then I bought John Barleycorn Must Die, it's an outstanding album, "Glad" "Freedom Rider" Empty Pages" "John Barleycorn", all great songs. The singer is Steve Winwood, he later joined the drummer and guitar player from Cream and 1 other guy to create a band called Blind Faith, only 1 album, I've got it on vinyl of course.
Gotta be Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys next.
Low Spark is a great choice.
avlisk for sure...yes!
Yaaaaaas
They will LOVE it!!!!!
Absotutely!!!
Manfred Mann - "Blinded by the Light." TRUST ME! It's a masterpiece!! Truly epic!
Tmage It’s good but I prefer Springsteen’s.
Absolutely and it's a Bruce Springsteen song originally 👍
It’s even the first song on his first album 😁
And they are NOT ALLOWED to look at the lyrics. They have to figure it out for themselves like we had to!
@@loosilu lol It's "woke up like a douche another moaner in the night" everyone knows that :)
Every time that guitar scrapes in that lick, Andy's face does exactly what they wanted everyone to do. Classic!
Hope you guys had a great 4th! Steve Miller Band--Wild Mountain Honey, and also War--Low Rider, and make it snappy!
Robin Trower- Bridge of Sighs, Long Misty Days and To Rolling Stoned
+ Little Bit of Sympathy, Daydream, In This Place
Definitely Bridge Of Sighs! Time for some Robin Trower!
The entire album is worthy of a listen, if we're being honest, no? Robin Trower - Icon!
THIS^^^^^^^^^^^
Here Here
Steve Winwood is amazing. One of my girlfriends is friends with him and talks to him quite often. She knows Peter Frampton, too. She met him through her now deceased husband who was the manager for Lynryd Skynyrd. He survived the plane crash that killed many of the band's members.
Hey u need a broom to sweep up some of those names u just dropped? 😹
@@johnnypickens1333 hey, I don't know them, my friend does. She's had a very interesting life. Love hearing her stories.
Johnny Pickens No shit, I thought I was the man for meeting Kirk Cobain and Lane Stanley in Hawaii during the early 90s. I guess not.😂🤣😂
Hey Tara I was just ribin ya 😁
God Tara you've had some fantastic rock and roll history.
Be great to see a reaction to the video of Steve Winwood doing Can't Find My Way Home on acoustic in his kitchen. Totally stripped back to voice and guitar. And totally sublime. What a voice
Make it snappy, boys! Lead singer Stevie Winwood was 19 when Traffic did this song and he was already a superstar from his time with the Spencer Davis Group. I'd recommend giving "I'm a Man" a listen from those earlier years, then "Can't Find My Way Home" with him singing for Blind Faith, with Clapton playing guitar and Ginger Baker on drums. And then, jump to the 80s and listen to Winwood singing "Higher Love," which is a completely different, pop-driven song with energy and positivity all over it.
Keep up the great work!
Can’t Find My Way Home - Blind Faith. Make it snappy!
Incredible song
Iron Maiden and us happy :)
Medicated Goo, Low-Spark, Rock N Roll Stew, Light Up or Leave Me alone, The Whole John Barleycorn Album too. Good choice you guys.
All great!! Yes!!
Glad
John Barleycorn Must Die = absolutely classic album...
YES
You’re starting to find the good stuff. A British blues revival guitarist you should hear is Jeff Beck. Try I’m Going Down. Also, John Mayall’s various lineups of the Blues Breakers gave many of the greats their start. Listen to Room To Move.
Yes. The whole Turning Point album is flawless!
Anything off of Truth is well worth listening to... Morning Dew, I Ain't Supersitious and the proto-Zep Beck's Bolero.. all worthy of a playback here.
Makes me think of Avengers: Endgame.
I love that you grok’d this. You’re going to get a s’ton of requests to do Traffic’s Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. I second, third and fourth this!!!
As soon as they opened the movie with that song I thought "well, this is going to be a ride".
G - R - O - K !!!??!!! I haven't heard that term since the early/mid 70's. Stranger in A Strange Land. My oh my. What a time it was to be alive and kicking. All the best music ever recorded and we were there while it was current.
What goes around, comes around! You covered the Chicago version of "I'm a Man" and loved it. Well, the lead singer/keyboardist for "The Spencer Davis Group" that wrote and originally recorded "I'm a Man" is none other than Steve Winwood, the lead singer/keyboardist for "Traffic"!
Make it snappy - Traffic "The Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys"
Noticed y’all had your eyes closed at times. The best way to listen to this song is with lights off, maybe a few candles or a lava lamp!!
That's some production for a track released in December of 1967 (January 1968 here in the U.S.). Producer Jimmy Miller (known for his work with The Stones in the late '60's) ran out onto the studio floor from the control booth and picked up the maracas and started shaking them at the end!
Make it snappy. When you are ready for an incredible organ solo, hear: Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. Great song. I want to see if you can guess who she is.
Sugarloaf! ...there's a walk down amnesia lane!
Incredible organ solo? Anything by Medeski, Martin & Wood. I'd recommend Uninvisible to get started.
Definitely Green eyed lady for sure!
@@reverendbStaard Weirdly, Don't Call Us, We'll Call You, is the one that get's played all the time on WXRC.
@@seed_drill7135, it's always on my rotation! Just like listening to AM CKLG when i was a kid.
"A text from your kid saying "I love you dad!""
GREAT analogy...
MAKE IT SNAPPY!!!
Oh my!! 1967 album!! Ok, guys, y'all need to check out more Steve Winwood. You will never go wrong with him. And, founding member of Traffic, Dave Mason. Many great songs. My personal fave is "Baby Please." Pleeeaasssee listen to that one!!! Rock on!
Dave Mason was still in the band at this point, but left shortly after the album was released. He would go on later to join Fleetwood Mac for a while and had several successful singles on his own. I strongly suggest the deep cut "Look at You Look at Me" from his first album.
Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave is also an excellent song from that album.
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Also Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home Steve Winwood was also part of Blind Faith, as well as Clapton and Ginger Baker.
Hey guys, I think you find this to be a real banger in a jazzy sort of way.
Steve Winwood {lead singer/writer} is a name you'll find in a lot of 10 lists from the early rock days, he started his own band at the age of 14 called the 'The Spencer Davis Group', an incredible musician with the ability to play multiple instruments and influenced some of the bigger names in rock history.
Stay safe in the groove, cheers!
The VOCALS on this song give me chills. Chills.
Here’s another gem you should listen to from 1981.
Jon and Vangelis “Friends of Mr. Cairo”.
Hey guys. You remember the reaction you did to the 'Chicago' song "I'm A man"? Well the song writer that wrote that song was Steve Winwood. The reason I am bringing that song and your reaction up in this reaction to this Traffic song is as follows. The person in this song that is both singing the vocals and playing the lead guitar is Steve Winwood. It is these types of details and interlacing of music, band members, song writers that make reviewing music fun, interesting and sometimes mind blowing when following the roots of all music. This is why I love music and why I follow music reaction reviewers. SO I can sometimes impart knowledge and wisdom onto y'all. Traffic was a great band started by Steve after he and Dave Mason left the Spencer Davis Group. Remember the name Dave Mason because somewhere down the line you will do reactions to his music, I guarantee. You will also be doing reactions to the Spencer Davis Group in the future. But as far as Traffic goes, these are the next songs of theirs that you will need to look at reviewing. Also check out the original "I'm A Man" by them.
The absolute Must Do Songs: The Low Spark Of The High-Heeled Boys(There most famous song), John Barleycorn Must Die, Light Up Or Leave Me Alone, Rainmaker, Sad And Deep As You(The saddest song you will ever here).
Strongest 2nd's to look at: 40,000 Headmen, Gimme Some Lovin', Freedom Rider, Many A Mile To Freedom, Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave.
All the songs above are great songs, please try to do at least some of them, you will be surprisingly rewarded with the Best Bold Burnin' Bistro of Boiler maker Banger's Bouncing Broadly off Brown Boards at your Back Banding the Borders Of your Bodice as Boulders of Bees like Bandits Bering Burdens of symphonic Beats Booted and Born of Balancing Big Blue audio waves Beginning from Behind to Bellow, Bother and wail Breaking at the Brim of your Brain Beguiling y'all with Bombastic Bombs making eyes Bend out blindly and Blowing Black Boogers Blasting from your nostrils Bleak Brazen Blazing Bowls of Beautiful Boiling Brandy.
The legendary Dave Mason was also in this band. If you've ever heard "All along the watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix, Dave Mason played the acoustic guitar at the beginning. 😀
Winwood played guitar on this track. He also played bass and organ.
I saw Dave Mason a few summers ago and his voice was still so good! Such a treat!
Dave Mason is such an underrated musician. I love his solo stuff
Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs...make it snappy!
I would love to see your reaction to the Eric Burdon And The Animals ‘Sky Pilot’ and ‘San Franciscan Nights’ and Procol Harum ‘White Shade Of Pale’. Make It Snappy!
Crosby Still and Nash. Southern Cross or Suite Judy Blue Eyes.

Suzanne Cole-Rice Finally, after scrolling through comments, John Barleycorn hope you get MORE thumbs up for that !
Just want to compliment you guys for checking out the great songs and bands of late 60’s and early 70’s because I was a 20 year old in this time and I’m glad that you guys are enjoying the music from this era.ave
Little grasshoppers...... there is so much more for you to hear and experience. Happy for you.
My generation was over saturated and spoiled by an abundance of super significant sauce.
On his album " Arc of a Diver" he produced and played all the instruments.
Growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s in South Tampa we all loved Traffic. Other bands at the time like Blind Faith, Cream, CCR, Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. Seeing Jimi Hendrix at Curtis Hixson Hall at 14 with best friends older brother I will never forget. Those were the days and I really miss those times. Only 3 main channels on tv, no computers, no cell phones but that would’ve been nice to have. Times were much simpler. Playing all day, fishing, baseball and listening to latest albums or 45’s of some of the greatest bands still popular today but knowing soon we were going to give in to the establishment and get a job, college or fight a unpopular war. Music was always there. Another real popular song was The Hollies song He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.
Crosby Stills and Nash: Southern Cross
I too recommend "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys". In high school it was my favorite late night, in the dark, headphone song.
Make it snappy bros, chkout any live version of this song, makes this a rather tame version.
Make it snappy
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys has to be on your review list
Guys: You need to check out another 70's band: The Raspberries. Check out "Go All the Way" and "I Wanna Be With You"...two BANGERS!
Absolutely! It's history in a song..."Go All the Way," was banned from several states for inferred content plus it's an over the top banger for the time!
@@reverendbStaard It was also banned in the U.K.
