Traffic's live album "On The Road" captures Steve Winwood's improvisational performance in a more liberated form than their studio works. Jazz, folk, and psychedelic elements blend effortlessly, and the ensemble's organic breathing throughout the extended development is striking. The repetitive groove and swaying performance transcend the boundaries of rock, creating a trance-like immersion. This is a record of the freedom and expansion that British rock reached in the 1970s.
