By luigi mezzedimi (italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On The Road (Audio CD)
if you like this band, do yourself a favour, buy this live recording.
the sound quality is very well recorded, all the gigs are performed exceptionally with very long instrumental sections.

Roger Hawkins' brilliant drums,
By Mike Newland (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On The Road (Audio CD)
I too bought this album in the 1970s and was knocked out by Roger Hawkins' inspired drums on The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Despite decades of listening since then I've never heard anything better.

Great Album,
By Joe Zawinul "Black Market" (Birdland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On The Road (Audio CD)
I bought this album in 1973 after reading a rave review in the Times. It's still an album I play regularly. For fans of music today, 18 minute tracks probably seem a little self indulgent. However, this and Birds of Fire by the Mahavishnu Orchestra got me into jazz.
The band is excellent, as well as Traffic it features Barry Becket (keyboards), David Hood (bass) and Roger Hawkins (drums) who were in demand session musicians at the time. They were part of the famous Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section whpo could be heard on dozens of hit singles, including tracks by Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, The Staple Singers, Cat Stevens, Duane Allman, Joe Cocker, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart and Willie Nelson. I love the musicianship and songwriting. I played my favourite track "Sometimes I Feel so Uninspired" to my music teacher in 1974 and I think he was impressed - to me it still sounds remarkable. This is a great album.
