199. Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die

Release Date: 1970
Label: Island

I have been looking forward to listening to this album since starting this book. Of course, I could've listened to it whenever I wanted but I chose not to. It's one of these 'recommended classics' that I've never knowingly heard but finally we reached it. Having enjoyed the previous album by Google's least-favourite band, I am glad to tell you (me) that this was even better.

108. Traffic - Traffic

Release Date: 1968
Label: Island

I would like to begin this post by confirming that it is not easy to search for Traffic on Google, unless I want to see what roadworks are on the A14.

From start to finish I was pleasantly suprised by this album. The first song was pretty cool with some nice country-guitar licks, and the final track reminded me of Paul Weller, so it's nice to see where he got his influences from. I'd listen to this again.
