- The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys (The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys, 1971) This stunning 11-minute epic, co-written by Capaldi and Winwood, is one of the benchmarks of early ‘70s jazz-rock, built around a simple piano motif.
- Empty Pages (John Barleycorn Must Die, 1970) A mesmerising tour de force in which the funky lilt of the opening section elides into a rushing Hammond chorus, with Winwood delivering one of his greatest lead vocals (curiously too, he sounds like a pre-echo of classic Peter Gabriel).
- Dear Mr. Fantasy (Mr. Fantasy, 1967) The first true flowering of Traffic’s vast potential offers an index of possibilities, from blues and soul to prog and psychedelia.
- John Barleycorn (John Barleycorn Must Die, 1970) The trio go full-pelt folk on Winwood’s rootsy arrangement of a traditional ode to the pagan symbol of the harvest.
