I listen to Traffic albums A LOT.

It strikes me that nothing that came after has the effortless blend of voices and talent that this one does.

No one's fault. But a bit of a shame nonetheless.

Coloured Rain, one of the all time great Traffic tracks. Steve’s vocals are inspirational and that dirty sax from Chris. Oer Mrs.
