Artist:Traffic
Song:The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Album:The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Traffic started out as a standard post Beatles pop group but when Dave Mason left the group, it focused more on Steve Winwood's interest in a more freeform style. Originally Winwood's plan was to go solo but Traffic stayed together for a while as a trio. The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys was the result and was Traffic's most successful record in 1972. It's still rock but with definite jazz influences and they used some outside musicians to help that along. Traffic petered out when Winwood became sick with perotinitis and bassist Jim Capaldi had a successful solo record. Eventually Winwood would have a very successful solo career too. Jim Capaldi died on January 28, 2005.
