I then revisited some old personal favorites including 'The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys' and the stoned-sounding 'On The Road' live album. Truly great stuff!! Are they overlooked or is it just me :-)
I adore Traffic. Mr. Fantasy is a stone gold classic. Their second Traffic album also, a stunning record blending folk,soul,R & b etc. John Barleycorn also. So much more, Low Spark etc and Welcome To the Canteen is a mutha played very very loud. The live version of Dear Mr Fantasy alone.... Jeez. Staggering. They don't make 'em like that any more, sadly.
