British psychedelic pop/rock band Traffic found success in both the UK and the US, captivating listeners with a broad array of genre-bending instrumentation.

Traffic was formed in 1967 when Steve Winwood parted ways with the Spencer Davis Group to join drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and woodwind and keys player Chris Wood in their exploration of psychedelia and the tougher variations of late-sixties rock.

Traffic is perhaps known best for their well-received 1967 debut album, Mr. Fantasy, and 1971’s Billboard Top 10 certified-platinum album, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.
