Traffic is an English rock band that formed in April 1967. The group was comprised of Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood, and Dave Mason. They started as a psychedelic rock group with influences from The Beatles and later incorporated jazz and improvisational techniques into their music. After disbanding in 1969, Traffic reunited in 1970 to release the album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's lineup changed over the years until they disbanded again in 1975. In 1994, there was a partial reunion with Winwood and Capaldi, and in 2004 Traffic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On their second album (recorded in the summer of 1968 and released later that fall), the cottage dwellers from berkshire refined their hippie pop into a looser and vastly more mature work: evocative tales of nonsense in the beautiful '40,000 headmen,' joyful malarkey with mason's 'you can all join in,' and one of his finest songs, 'feelin alright,' which was a signpost to his imminent departure. throughout the record jim capaldi's understated yet steady drums demonstrate just what a great rock drummer should do, and chris wood's sound is everywhere, with trills on flute and blasts on saxophone. traffic is a record that will always be meant for glorious sunny days.
