A Son of the Rock

This was the song that announced Traffic to the world. It’s always been one of my favourites from the sixties.

I remember one of my schoolmates raving about it. Then he discovered Traffic was the new group got together by Steve Winwood (on whom he had a bit of a downer) and went off it.

It was only with the later release of Hole In My Shoe that it actually became evident that Traffic wasn’t just Steve Winwood and a mellotron.

This is what would later be called a video – except in the sixties they were promotional films.
