#1243 – ROCK & ROLL STEW (Parts 1 & 2) - 10/26/2019
Traffic was one of those bands that was always changing
personnel. This 1971’s LP – “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” was pretty much
their highpoint, finding the right mix of musicians and great material (which
was often a downfall). Always known for exceptional playing, this release had a
bit harder rock edge to it that did its predecessor “John Barleycorn Must Die”.
This tune was one of the reasons. Co-written by new band members Rick Gresch (bassist
from Blind Faith) and Jim Gordon (drummer from Derek & the Dominoes) is a
snapshot of life on the road:
“L.A. to London
Sitting near a suit who's a red-neck going, eyes are moving
but there's no life showing”
1971
