Capaldi <i>did</i> have a great voice—a bit more tough and snarly than Winwood, and it'll be interesting to hear how that works with this lyric. Part of what makes the Traffic version so effective, I think, is the contrast between the darkness of the lyric and Winwood's yearning, choir-boy delivery of the verses.

Makes me want to go back and listen again. Couple things<br>1) I'm reading the Clapton biograph right now and it seemed to me that Blind Faith was doomed from the start. To this day I think Clapton regrets not getting more out of that band. But Cream had left such a bad taste for him...but just imagine another Blind Faith album right after that tour...could have been great.<br>2) For those of you who love "Low spark" search out the acoustic version that Capaldi did on a solo album. I've been looking for it forever (had it on cassette) There was something really great about his vocals on that version that the original doesn't have. Both a really good.

I hope he's reading right now! Ha, I only remember seeing the two worst reviewed albums here in his collection: the live one whos cover looks like an atari video game, and the the kokopelli drawing guy playing a flute one.

If you've seen him in a live setting, you know that as good as he is as an organist, he's equally if not better as a guitar player. He's done a lot of great work in everything he's been part of, but Traffic will always be the high point for me. At their best, they were one of the great bands in rock and roll history.<br><br>Thanks for putting this together in an interesting and informative fashion.
