I discovered "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" back in college. I remember being so excited to find the MFSL version in a small shop in Berkeley. It’s a short album (6 songs), but packed with great music. If you don’t already have it, find it. You won’t be disappointed. Another Traffic masterpiece "John Barleycorn Must Die" is also worth a listen. Great stuff!
So, I just played this song, and..........
Going through my music collection and wanting something from my past to crank a little, I listened to the original " The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys ", and I have to say, the musicianship, the writing and arrangement by Winwood and Capaldi, the studio work by the engineers and mixers, and the recording quality, for that time, is quite incredible. I also have " Winwood : Greatest Hits Live ", and have recommended it before on these pages. Having and taking the time to listen to some older music from my past. Enjoy, be well and stay safe. MrD.
