		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.
		That is why "John Barleycorn Must Die" is arguably the greatest Sixties album not produced in the actual decade of the Sixties.
		The title track, `John Barleycorn' is a traditional English folksong which the group performs as well or better than all the folk specialists in the house such as Renbourn / Jansch's Pentangle and Steeleye Span.

		Barleycorn, an ancient folk song, to the attention of the group circa 1968.
		In its own quiet way, John Barleycorn is as close to the heart of the Traffic Spirit’ as anything else they ever did.
		Although described in concert by Winwood as "a warning about excess in anything", the song also points to deeper truths; developing strength (especially spiritual) through hardship, and the eternal the cycle of life that we are all part of.

		John Barleycorn was on a truth-telling rampage, giving away the choicest secrets on himself.
		For so John Barleycorn tricks and lures, setting the maggots of intelligence gnawing, whispering his fatal intuitions of truth, flinging purple passages into the monotony of one’s days.
		“The ‘Memoirs of an Alcoholic.’ ”; I sneered—or, rather, John Barleycorn sneered; for he sat with me there at table in my pleasant, philanthropic jingle, and it is a trick of John Barleycorn to turn the smile to a sneer without an instant’s warning.

		Often it is the very randomness that allows us to use a pub sign as a form of divination into ourselves or as a trigger for thought and meditation.
		At Samhain we may look to The Yew Tree, The Apple Tree or The Crow to symbolise the death energies of that time which marks the ending and the beginning or the year; and at Yule The Holly Tree or The Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

		John Barleycorn's Bar and Grill: A clean, well-lighted place
		In the 1700's, Robert Burns wrote a poem, "John Barleycorn Must Die" in protest to a prohibition going on in Scotland at the time.
		At the end of the US prohibition, the New York Times claimed, "John Barleycorn wouldn't die!" Because our John Barleycorn's Bar and Grill is located across the street from a bar attacked by Cari Nation, we figured a prohibition era name was appropriate.

		At only 22 years old, Steve Winwood sat down in early 1970 to fulfill a contractual commitment by making his first solo album, on which he intended to play all the instruments himself.
		But the vocal sections of the songs merely served as excuses for Winwood to exercise his expressive voice as punctuation to the extended instrumental sections.
		As such, John Barleycorn Must Die moved beyond the jamming that had characterized some of Traffic's 1968 work to approach the emerging field of jazz-rock.

		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.
