JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE

Jim Capaldi is one of my all-time faves. The beat he lays down on "Empty Pages" is just fantastic. And what can I say about Steve Winwood. He too is absolutley one of the best singers around. "Empty Pages" is another great example of his chops. "Freedom Rider", "John Barleycorn", "Glad", it's all so good. These guys were just youngsters when they made this album. What ever happened to Winwood??? It's such a shame to see someone so talented fade from the public. I'm not sure if TRAFFIC fits neatly into the Prog genre, but I like them a lot. They make beautiful music. 4-stars
