Traffic-Traffic (1968)

Once he had left the Spencer Davis Group, Steve Winwood would join Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood in 1967 to form a band they called Traffic, which would soon become one of the most intimate gangs in the late 1960s. 60s and early 70s, in which a good part of its members treasured a recognized music reputation.
After a first album titled "Mr Fantasy" (1967) where they did not follow the dominant theme of the psychedelic era and which is dominated by the soul, jazz and blues influence of Steve Winwood.
A year later they published "Traffic" which contained several of their most celebrated songs such as "You Can All Join in", "Pearly Queen" "Forty Thousand Headman", or the classic "Feelin Alright", which together with others of a psychedelic nature and folk influences, marked a progression where the instrumental skill and composition talent of the entire band stood out.
