Traffic
Traffic* Steve Winwoods band before Steve Winwood was being brought higher love * I saw this and for a first album I’m kind of glad we’re getting the late 60s done with one out at a time not a huge 60s rock guy * Guitar in this era is so self-indulgent most of the time * Also, a lot of electric piano not my favorite * Pearly queen is repetitive and it goes on for an eternity. I had more fun listening to “Are you waiting for the street car” that song rules even though it it’s incredibly repetitive by nature because it’s can * Feelin’ all right - I definitely hear some inspiration for ramble on actually just in general in Winwood’s stylings I I hear a lot of Led Zeppelin * Hell yeah, the wood block on Vagabond Virgin almost disguises the fucked up lyrics * Fighting impatience halfway through * 40,000 headman good narration likely very high * So much flute in the 60s! * Led Zeppelin + horse tranquilizers * Reminded I can’t stand harpsichord something about that Tinny twang * Pair that with the E piano and wow! I’m in sonic hell! * I get why this was a hit in its time, but it meanders so much (“no time to live”) * “means to an end” it’s currently playing in an 18 wheeler making good time on I 80 eastbound I guarantee it * Damn, I really was hoping that here we go round the Mulberry bush was just the nursery rhyme. the volume and mixing fucked on this track * GOOOO!!! Favorite song.
