Traffic - Here Comes A Man
Review by Jude Ikor
Here Comes A Man, the 1995 album by British rock band Traffic, is a sonic journey that showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and songwriting abilities. The album, which marked Traffic's first studio release in two decades, features a mix of blues, rock, and folk-inspired tracks that are both introspective and soulful.
The album's opener, "Here Comes A Man," is a bluesy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song's haunting guitar riffs and Steve Winwood's gritty vocals make for a powerful introduction. "State of Grace" is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to create lush, intricate soundscapes with its layered instrumentation and intricate harmonies.
Other highlights on the album include "Mozambique," a funky, upbeat track that features some impressive percussion work, and "Holy Ground," a beautiful ballad that showcases Winwood's soulful vocals. The album's closer, "I Will Be Here," is a poignant, stripped-down track that feels like a fitting conclusion to the album's emotional journey.
