Album Notes & Community Reviews
Expanding their lineup to include percussionist Rebop Kwaku Baah and returning to expansive jazz-fusion jams, Traffic delivered their most critically acclaimed, highly successful studio effort. 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys' is wonderfully mellow and fiercely eclectic, balancing beautifully ethereal, highly pastoral folk-rock elements with deeply melodic, remarkably progressive improvisations.
