{"product_id":"traffic-when-the-eagle-flies","title":"WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES","description":"Traffic: Steve Winwood (vocals, guitar, piano, organ, Mellotron); Jim Capaldi (vocals, drums, percussion); Chris Wood (flute, saxophone); Rosko Gee (bass instrument); Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion).\nTraffic's last album before their 1974 split, WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES takes the jazz-rock textures of THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS and SHOOT OUT AT THE FANTASY FACTORY to a logical conclusion. The songs here are more tightly structured than they had been on previous records, with only three of the seven tracks creeping over the six-minute mark. However, the band's interplay is more rhythmically loose than ever before.\nIt's not surprising that bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah went on to join German art-rockers Can. In fact, the 11-minute workout \"Dream Gerrard,\" with its fluid groove, surreal lyrics, Chris Wood's lyrical saxophone interjections, and Steve Winwood's idiosyncratic sound-over-meaning vocal style, would fit quite nicely on one of Can's albums from this period. Elsewhere, more concise R\u0026amp;B-influenced tunes (\"Something New\" and \"Walking in the Wind\") foreshadow the mature elegance of Winwood's later solo work, and the soaring, keyboard-led title track ends the album--and the key phase of Traffic's career--on a suitably strong, communal note.","brand":"Traffic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589972881641,"sku":"X9PGAI-2LJ4-00","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/traffic-when-the-eagle-flies_E1jJ9.jpg?v=1742358139","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/traffic-when-the-eagle-flies","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
