	John Barleycorn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The character "John Barleycorn" in the song is a personification of the important cereal crop barley, and of the alcoholic beverages made from it, beer and whisky.
		The song is frequently overinterpreted by devotees of Sir James George Frazer and his well known work The Golden Bough as being evidence of the antiquity and survival of the institution of the Frazer sacred king and spirit of vegetation, who died as a human sacrifice in a fertility rite.
		Masonic symbolism may be a source of the trials of John Barleycorn as set forth in the Burns version.

	John Barleycorn died for you
		The character "John Barleycorn" in the song is a personification of the important cereal grain crop barley, and of the alcoholic beverages made from it, beer and whisky.
		John Barleycorn, published in 1913, subtitled "Alcoholic Memoirs," eventually shattered the image of the ruggedly good-looking, energetic and intrepid hero who had been everywhere and seen everything.
		The depth of those albums came from having two superior songwriters, Steve Winwood and Dave Mason; by John Barleycorn, Winwood was leading a trio that included Chris Wood on horns and Jim Capaldi on drums.

	Traffic: Traffic / John Barleycorn Must Die - PopMatters Music Review
		The results were mostly nearer to folk -- the "Barleycorn" track is a traditional English song which exists in over 100 versions, all decrying the debilitating power of a barley-derived beer -- and connected more closely with the Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention than the technological excesses of the post-Barrett Floyd.
		The live performance exposes the limitations of a bass-less three piece mercilessly, and the record overall appears to be metaphorically imprinted with the legend "contractual obligation", with the group seemingly on the point of disintegration.
		Barleycorn, 1970's outing, would prove that analysis premature and the folk-rock that offers the bedrock of what would become the group's fourth album is a dramatic improvement, quite possibly Traffic's finest studio work.

	Amazon.com: John Barleycorn Must Die [IMPORT]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The original 1970 disc "John Barleycorn Must Die" is one of those albums that marks the end of Sixties music for me and I have always thought of "Glad" as the song that really allowed Traffic to justify their name and really jam.
		Ironically, this was not supposed to be a Traffic album but the first solo album for Steve Winwood, who was still only 22 years old at that point although already a veteran of the Spencer Davis Group with the classic "Gimme Some Lovin'" on his resume as the definitive screaming organ piece of the decade.
		That is why "John Barleycorn Must Die" is arguably the greatest Sixties album not produced in the actual decade of the Sixties.

		MacColl and Seeger speculate that "John Barleycorn" was derived from the Scots ballad "Allan-a-Maut," found in the Bannatyne manuscript, 1568; its theme is similar.
		Incidentally, when Prohibition was passed in the United States, John Barleycorn was given a bonus funeral, beyond the annual supply.
		The notes to the broadside state that this was made in respone to Robert Walpole's 1725 imposition of the malt tax -- but, in context, it seems likely that the idea was lifted from an early form of this song.

	John Barleycorn -by Jack London
		John Barleycorn had thrown him, and he was winding up his career where he had begun it, in the forecastle.
		He had robbed him of power and place and comfort, crucified his pride, and condemned him to the hardship of the common sailor that would last as long as his healthy breath lasted, which promised to be for a long time.
		The only rational thing for the twentieth-century folk to do is to cover up the well; to make the twentieth century in truth the twentieth century, and to relegate to the nineteenth century and all the preceding centuries the things of those centuries, the witch-burnings, the intolerances, the fetiches, and, not least among such barbarisms.

		Although JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE was originally intended as Steve Winwood's post-Blind Faith solo debut, Winwood and producer/label head Chris Blackwell first drafted Jim Capaldi to provide lyrics, and then Chris Wood dropped by to add his familiar reeds, and almost by accident, Traffic was reborn.
		The sound of JOHN BARLEYCORN MUST DIE, on the other hand, remained the template for the rest of the reunited band's career--long, organically developed songs with a subtle jazz-rock feel, powered by Capaldi's percussion and Winwood's organ.
		"John Barleycorn," a traditional English folk song about the process of brewing ale (not, as the liner notes mistakenly claim, a call for temperance), here becomes a pastoral reverie carried along by flute and acoustic guitar, and proves to be the record's highlight.
