About this album
Best Of Traffic is a strong snapshot of Traffic’s early brilliance, gathering the band’s most distinctive late-1960s singles and key album cuts. Drawing on their blend of psychedelic rock, pop-rock and soul, the compilation shows why Traffic stood apart: Steve Winwood’s expressive voice, Dave Mason’s melodic writing and the group’s fluid musicianship gave songs like ‘Paper Sun’, ‘Hole in My Shoe’, ‘Feelin’ Alright’ and ‘Dear Mr. Fantasy’ lasting appeal. Issued in 1969, it captures a band moving quickly from chart-friendly experimentation towards a broader, more adventurous sound, making it an essential entry point to one of British rock’s most inventive groups.
