The second album from this British band.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of bells, drums, percussion, bass, alto clarinet, saxophones, flutes, guitars, harmonica, organ, piano, harpsichord and vocals.
This band was Steve Winwoods first step into the music world and he did a good job on the debut album. An album I reviewed last month.
His vocals is very special and adds a lot of colours and quality to Traffic's music.
The music on this album is based on folk rock. Add a lot of blues, psych rock and beat to the music too and you get this album.
There is a lot of interesting details on this album where the four musicians really gets going with quirky use of the many instruments.
There is a lot of colours here, yes.
The songs themselves are decent enough. They are spiced up though.... and that makes them a lot better.
It is rare to hear anything about this band these days and I guess that makes them a hidden gem. This album is somewhere between decent and good. It is so interesting that it is a keeper for the later days of my life.
