Leading up to WFUV's 1971 Throwback Thursday on March 25 — dedicated to albums celebrating their 50th anniversary this year — all month on "Album ReCue" we'll be taking a deep dive into some of the '71 releases that mean the most to our weekday FUV hosts. Above, an archive of
Alisa Ali's conversation with
Eric Holland about his selection,
Traffic's epic
Laura Fedele's overview of that release.
Says Eric about why he chose that 1971 classic: "It's an essential rock album largely defined by the elegant delicate interplay between the vocals of one of rock's great voices Stevie Winwood, and the haunting, frequently gorgeous flute playing of Chris Wood. It's anchored by the epic title track that was a fave at freeform FMs of the early 70s and features a couple of tough rockers sung by Jim Capaldi where Stevie shows his guitar playing is almost as formidable as his work on keyboards."
