Traffic Backing Tracks – Dear Mr Fantasy … Empty Pages … Hole In My Shoe … Paper Sun …

Traffic, the brainchild of Steve Winwood, was a successful group on the rock music scene in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Beginning in the psychedelic year of 1967 and reportedly influenced by The Beatles.

In the groups infancy the members lived together in a country cottage in Berkshire and collaborated on their songs.  Their debut single, “Paper Sun,” peaked in the U.K. Top Five in July 1967 and also spent several weeks in the lower reaches of the charts in America.

Traffic disbanded in 1969, then reunited in 1970 to release a critically acclaimed album.

In 1974, the band broke up again. Steve Winwood went on to a successful solo career, with several hit singles and albums during the 1980s. Jim Capaldi also had some minor solo hits in the 1970s in the UK but was less successful abroad. Chris Wood occasionally worked as a session musician until his death in 1983.

Traffic were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004.
