After a brief disbandment Traffic returned in Summer of 1970 with 'John Barleycorn Must Die', hitting No. 5 in the US Billboard Chart and thus making it their highest ever peak position in the US. 'John Barleycorn' would take the band's jazz/rock leanings beyond mere jamming and give Winwood the excuse to exercise his expressive voice as punctuation to the extended instrumental sections.

Track Listing:
1. Glad - Traffic
2. Freedom Rider - Traffic
3. Empty Pages - Traffic
4. Stranger to Himself - Traffic
5. John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Traffic
6. Every Mother's Son - Traffic

Year of Production: 1970

  • Tracklist
  • John Barleycorn Must Die, released in July 1970, marks Traffics reinvention following a brief hiatus and the departure of Dave Mason. With Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood forming a leaner trio, the album blends folk, blues, jazz, and rock into a fluid and expressive sound. The opening instrumental Glad features dynamic piano and sax interplay, while tracks like Freedom Rider, Empty Pages, and the traditional John Barleycorn highlight the groups evolving chemistry across compositional depth and improvisational space. Produced under the guidance of Winwood and Chris Blackwell, the record bridges the bands earlier psychedelic leanings toward a more expansive, jam-inflected resonance.

    Though compact in length, the albums internal diversity feels expansive: from intimate
