Our Take

Ah, TRAFFIC's "John Barleycorn Must Die" - a true classic in the world of folk rock. Nestled amongst the wheat fields of English countryside, this album is like a warm hug from an old friend, if that old friend happened to be a psychedelic rock band.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a whimsical realm where every note feels like a technicolour dream. The title track, "John Barleycorn Must Die," is a mesmerising journey through valleys of intricate melodies and ethereal vocals. It's as if the band have plucked the very essence of English folklore and woven it into musical tapestry.

But don't be fooled by the tranquility of tracks like "Glad" and "Freedom Rider" - there's a mischievous spark that lurks beneath the surface. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with Steve Winwood's soulful vocals and masterful keyboard skills leading the charge.

"John Barleycorn Must Die" is a masterclass in blending traditional folk with a rock edge, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge. So grab a pint of ale, put on your favourite pair of bell-bottoms, and let TRAFFIC take you on a trip through the meadows of musical bliss. Cheers to that, mate!
