1. A most beautiful...

And mournful song. I first heard it when it was first released and I recall listening to it many times back then. It's one of those songs that when I hear it just out of the blue, I have to drop everything and just listen to it to the end. Some music strikes me that way, this is one of those pieces of music.

Thanks for posting!

6. Other songs from that Traffic album

John Barleycorn Must Die was also the name of the Traffic album and there were several other unforgettable songs.

Glad, Freedom Rider, Empty Pages - all amazing tunes.
