I might be wrong, but for me, an album like this does not stray far from the most beautiful things Capaldi has done with the Traffic band on the GRA. In fact, it comes across as fresher, inspired, and more passionate than the recent, albeit valid, works by Traffic released in those same years. Accompanied by an excellent backing band and supported by all his companions in Traffic, scattered here and there throughout the various tracks, Jim proves once again to be more inspired than ever. All the songs are gems, but three in particular are fabulous: "Don't Be a Hero" (which reminds me of feelings akin to "Epitaph," featuring the beautiful guitar solo by Dave Mason and a chilling performance by Jim), "How Much Can a Man Really Take" (with Wood's flair on the flute and the golden years' Kossoff shining through in the finale), and his personal, immense, pulsating, and moving interpretation of "Oh How We Danced," the album's only cover. more
