Traffic!!!

Just wanted to add a quick one really. Has any of you heard 'Mr Fantasy' by Traffic? Been listening to it recently and WOW what an album.

If you love your albums from the 60's and psychedelic then this would be something you would cream your pants for. It has everything a classic 60's record should have, well a british one anyway. It has the mish mash of genres. No great British 60's pop album is a straight forward affair. We were excellent at mixing up our genres, pop, rock, soul, classical, traditional indian and jazz. Listen to albums like. Piper At Gates of Dawn by Floyd or Odessey & Oracle by The Zombies or SF Sorrow by The Pretty Things, I could go on but my point being it was never just one genre.
We had the best singers I think by far back in the 60's, when the british invasion kicked in people like Steve Marriot and Roger Daltrey for example were full of soul and had power house voices. I am kinda losing my point a bit, but Mr Fantasy by Traffic is a great piece of work. Listen to Coloured Rain or Dear Mr Fantasy and just listen to the great chord progressions or even that solo in Dear... It sounds phenomenal.

That's another thing, we also had the best guitar players and always seemed to get the best guitar sound too. Apart from Hendrix obviously, but if it wasn't for his gigs in London he would not be as big as he was.

We knew how to make great albums back then, my point being Mr Fantasy by Traffic is one of them. Even if you just get hold of the track Dear Mr Fantasy and experience that I will be a happy man

Peace & Love
