		The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys marked the commercial and artistic apex of the second coming of Traffic, which had commenced in 1970 with John Barleycorn Must Die.
		But where their previous album had grown out of sessions for a Steve Winwood solo album and retained that focus, Low Spark pointedly contained changes of pace from his usual contributions of midtempo, introspective jam tunes.
		The best live album to emerge from the entire early-'70s art rock scene, a compendium of blazing performances covering the previous three studio albums by the group and the accompanying solo career of Rick Wakeman.

	Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys by Traffic Songfacts
		It is someone important enough to assassinate, but to understand who he is we need to understand the theme, the epigraph that was left by Pollard, who penned it: "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys." A high heeled boy is quite simply, one of two things: a woman, or a man dressed as one.
		The man in the suit was shot dead by a gun that didn't make any noise--authority and convention were unexpectedly and quickly overthrown by a group of punks(high heeled boys) with previously underestimated influence on culture(a low spark).
		The high heeled boys are the advertising execs.

		Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys always get mentioned as the best Traffic album, and it's very difficult to disagree with that claim.
		It is a classic album and at the time, the album cover was unique.
		Besides, I always felt a little cheated by Low Spark because the corners were cut off my album cover.

		Traffic is nothing if not versatile, and "Low Spark" captures them at their artistic peak.
		Majestic, in a way; again a very catchy melody, altogether a well-written song, but possibly the album's low point, if there is one.
		With THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH-HEELED BOYS, Traffic take aim at the negative aspects of the music business, and the results are stunning.

	Traffic: The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - PopMatters Music Review
		The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is one of the latter, an album that's easy to listen to over and over, but one that seldom shows up on "best of" lists.
		The title track of Low Spark also became an FM stable, and one of the songs the band would be most identified with.
		Low Spark holds up well 30 years after the fact, and provides a good introduction to Traffic's later glorious self-indulgence.

		My feeling is that this is the kind of album that will appeal to both "neo-prog" fans and also to those who might normally turn up their noses at a "progressive" album; this is pretty accessable stuff, musically at least.
		The album is obviously a concept album and in the vein of Ange, the vocals are theatric often being the voice of many different characters.
		The high point of the song is the triumphant contrapuntal march at the middle, built from a gentle piano part up to a stirring symphonic climax.

	Amazon.com: Reviews for Low Spark of High Heeled Boys: Music: Traffic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Among the annals of the most elemental list of golden albums among the Rock universe, this album deserves a status place.Expansive creativity, enraptured inspiration and fulgurant creativity would be - to say at least - some of the most adjectives that would be able to define it.
		They had a few hits (some of which are featured on this album) but I'd be willing to bet most of the people familiar with those hits wouldn't be able to tell you who sings them.
		What I like most about the album is the bands decision to dominate the album with flutes, electric guitar jams, and soulful vocal melodies.

	Review of Low Spark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The vision that The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys presented in the fall of 1971 was mature and confident as well as deeply spiritual – a fully realized work.
		The physical structure of ‘Low Spark…’ implies this by fading in and out with the same three bass notes – a song with no beginning, and no end; a sort of eternal framework.
		This may be why great art, like ‘Low Spark…’ seems to slow down or suspend time while we are interact in it – the eternal is suggested to us in some way that we can respond to.

	Review - Traffic: The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys and Welcome To The Canteen
		After the breakup of Blind Faith, Steve Winwood's next project was scheduled to be a solo album, but when he invited a pair of his former bandmates from Traffic, Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi, to join the sessions his solo project soon became Traffic's 1970 comeback album, John Barleycorn Must Die.
		By the time the band reached the studio to record The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys, though, Dave Mason was gone again.
		For this CD reissue, the original album is augmented by the single version of "Rock & Roll Stew," with the A and B sides joined to make a version that, at 6:07, is a minute and a half longer than the album track.

		The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys is more like a journey than a collection of songs; with Steve Winwood at the helm, the flute of Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi's percussion and Ric Grech on bass, one would expect no less.
		In the middle of it all was this one haunting album, which still sounds as fresh and original as it did in 1969.
		Sadly, the band became the victim of their own talents; five singles from this album were released at once, and the result was overkill.

	Traffic
		Although the album broke the Top 40 and went gold, none of the singles were hits.
		Probably the high point is Krueger's swinging, ecstatic "Save Me," with Michael Jackson joining in on the complex harmonies - Bob Glaub puts in the funk bass performance of his career.
		Commercially, this was Winwood's least successful album of the 80s, and afterwards Winwood stayed out of the studio for an unprecedented four years.

	Traffic - The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys
		In this song, as in all on this album, overdubs on vocals and instrumentals are used moderately and economically for maximum effect.
		A good part of the song seems to be already underway when we fade in on it; the emotional effect on the listener is the equivalent in cinema terminology of a dolly-in, which serves to rid the audience of their detachment distance.
		This is Traffic's first album for Island Records and also their first album of all new material in nearly two years.

	Steve Winwood and Traffic-rock and roll
		He maintained a veneer of importance as a pop music figurehead as he struggled with his inability to write lyrics or set fire to static instrumental tracks.
		Fantasy), to Big Pink-inspired folk-qualities on the second album (Traffic), to the long-winded 70’s inclinations of the Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, Winwood’s constant drifting of attention finally came to rest on pop negligibility.
		On long pieces like "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and "Many Miles to Freedom" the soloists are never involved in the kind of interactive support that less talented bands managed when kicking out the jams.

		That's not to say the rest of the album is poor, far from it.
		The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys has long been regarded as a classic album and Steve Winwood still performs the title track in his concert appearances to this day.
		The whole album skilfully blends a number of influences such as Rock, Jazz, R'n'B and manages to make it all into one identifiable Traffic sound.

		The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is, hands down, my favorite Winwood
		When Traffic finally broke up in 1974 after releasing 11 albums, including the iconic songs 40,000 Headmen, Dear Mr Fantasy and Paper Sun, Capaldi was already doing solo work.
		Capaldi was already working on his 12th solo album when Winwood called him back to collaborate on a new album.

	The Best of Traffic: 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (Album Review)
		First came 1969’s The Best of Traffic, which encapsulated the band’s first three albums but was issued long before the sessions that yielded the classic John Barleycorn Must Die and The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys.
		The blues and jazz inflections of the band blossomed fully on Empty Pages and The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, but in actuality, the mutation took root far earlier, turning up within the blissed-out psychedelia of Heaven Is in Your Mind and Dear Mr.
		Indeed, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and John Barleycorn Must Die stand as Traffic’s crowning achievements, but these early tracks have held up quite well against the test of time.
