 VH1.com : Traffic : Biography
Traffic was released in October 1968, and the band went on tour in the U.S. to promote it.
Meanwhile, as Traffic recorded material for its debut album during the summer of 1967, its communal outlook was disrupted by Mason, who, unlike Winwood (a composer who needed help with lyrics and therefore tended toward collaboration), was capable of writing songs on his own and did so.
Traffic was a successful group that followed its own individual course through the rock music scene of the late '60s and early '70s.

 Reason to Rock: Traffic
Traffic's first album was released in differing English and American versions, with and without their early singles, and this confusion has carried over into some of the CD editions as well.
Their first three albums had the notable distinction of not containing a single cut that could be mistaken for a love song.
Although I've compared them to Buffalo Springfield, they were also like The Band in their ability to use a variety of unusual instruments, their focus on making each track a unique recording, and their insistence on fashioning each track around the particular characteristics of a specific song.

The band's membership was as unpredictable as their improvisations.
Winwood was weary of the pop strictures of his former band, and with his new jam group he holed up in a cottage in Berkshire, England, to craft a sound that was in tune with the mind-flights of the late 1960s.
Capaldi went on to record with his own band, the Contenders, but in 1994 he went back to the old band's banner as he and Winwood performed as Traffic at the Woodstock reunion show and on tour.

That was my introduction to Traffic, the remarkably inventive band voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but who came to their undeniable end on Jan. 28 with the death at age 60 of founding drummer Jim Capaldi from stomach cancer.
Even as a great admirer of the band, I recall their live shows from the mid-1970s as overlong and underinspired.
But the early Traffic albums endure as epitomes of the boundless explorations that characterized their time, music whose energy, invention and imagination remains fresh and deeply satisfying even now.

 Traffic
After enlisting top session players to the line-up, Traffic toured both the UK and the USA where a live recording of their version of Gimme Some Loving (originally recorded by Steve Winwood's old band The Spencer Davis Group) made the charts.
Traffic's live shows at this time included a lot of on-stage jamming and improvisation as well as extended solos by the individual members - something quite unusual in Britain for a pop group in those days and an indication of things to come.
Traffic then recorded another successful self-titled album, to which Mason contributed the classic song Feelin' Alright, a composition that became much covered by other artists but Mason left again in October of 1968 and a few months later, the group activities ceased.

 Traffic
I can't stand so many of Traffic's studio recordings (or their three-piece live recordings), but I have the nerve to praise this live album.
All of the band members are at their peak; Wood contributes gloomy, spooky flute solos, Winwood masterfully alternates between keyboards and second guitar, and Dave Mason plays like hell - he'd sure improved a lot since his last gig with the band.
The two bands are very much tied together (Rick Grech, for instance, was consequently a member of both of them, and Dave Mason used to play on Family's records, too) and share a similar style: the 'folk-prog' direction with strong jazz influences.

Traffic itself contributed to the British psychedelic scene, replete with organs, flute, saxophones, sitars, and harpsichords, as well as other instruments, showing how they embraced Indian sounds, the neo-Bachian music by Procol Harum, and the like, and they're all here on this greatest hits compilation.
The sobering guitar and flute title track to John Barleycorn was a tale of the struggle against alcohol as personified by the title, with the growing of barley as an analogy to John growing up.
The first two singles from that album are the UK Top 5 "Paper Sun," a bright psychedelic piece that mirrors the sound Floyd had with their debut, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.
