Sunday Album Open Thread: Traffic - Mr Fantasy

Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sun, 04/02/2017 - 5:00am

Some Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. There are others that I just like to play every once in a while.

Traffic - Mr Fantasy - (Break out album - British Version)

Naturally, this is an open thread too.

of course, the title cut has been covered a lot, heck, it has been covered a lot by just one band:

Which, of course, facilitates collaboration

My buddy has been playing...

Traffic's version of John Barley corn must die. It's a murder ballad about making beer

Kinda fun.

Morning el

Thank you so much for picking up the Sunday AM OT. I have had no takers - yet. Hope someone will step up soon.

Sunday Morning is doing a segment on Willie Nelson. Lots of music. He was born in 1933. If my math is correct, it would make him 84. He looks the same as he always did.
