Traffic
Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory
Release Date: 1973 01 zz
Running Time: 37:11
Label: Universal Distribution
Rating:

After two exemplary releases, Traffic released Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory, which begins with the title track, based on a guitar riff reminiscent of the recent Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the Water," and continues through the lengthy "Roll Right Stones," the folkish ballad "Evening Blue," reed player Chris Wood's instrumental "Tragic Magic," and the uncertain self-help song "(Sometimes I Feel So) Uninspired." Lyricist Jim Capaldi was co-credited with Steve Winwood as the album's producer, and he may have contributed to the cleaner mix that made his words easier to understand. Meanwhile, the rhythm section had been replaced by Muscle Shoals studio aces David Hood and Roger Hawkins. Capaldi sings no songs here, and Wood's flute and saxophone, so often the flavoring of Traffic songs, are largely absent. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

You'll just have to pardon me for giving this five stars, but I happen to be the recording enginner that recorded and mixed the album. Even though the credits say the album was done in Jamaica, it was actually done in Muscle Shoals, AL and it was one of the brightest and funnest weeks of my life and as a recording engineer. Stevie Winwood is such a great talent and Jim Capaldi turned out to be a great long time friend. Jerry Masters
