For the tours and records made around this time ('72-'74), Traffic was augmented by three members of the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, a group that had provided backing on some of the greatest rock and R&B hits of the 1960s and '70s, including many classic Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield records.
This recording was made while the band was taping shows for their soon-to-be-released On The Road double CD. From the time he played organ and sang lead, at age 15, on such hits as "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man" for the Spencer Davis Group in 1965 up through four different incarnations of Traffic to a now-classic LP made with Winwood/Clapton/Baker/Gretch supergroup of Blind Faith in 1969 and finally on a long string of successful platinum solo albums that included acclaimed Back In The High Life, Steve Winwood has always made extraordinary records and maintained a truly exceptional, distinctive voice. In his 40-plus-year career in the music industry, success has always seemed to attach itself to Steve Winwood.
