Traffic (band)

Traffic was a rock band, from Birmingham, England in the late 1960s and led by Steve Winwood, with Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason, after Winwood had left the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood became friends with his future bandmates in the latter days of the Davis group (which also hailed from Birmighman) and Capaldi, Wood and Mason are reputed to have performed (uncredited) on at least two Spencer Davis Group singles, "I'm A Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin".

Trivia

Winwood and Mason were friends of Jimi Hendrix. Winwood played on five Hendrix LPs and Hendrix first heard Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower" at a party he was invited to by Mason. Hendrix decided to record his own version the same night, with Mason playing acoustic guitar.
