Traffic co-founder and co-songwriter Jim Capaldi also has released solo work you might be interested in.

Oh How We Danced (1972)
Whale Meat Again (1974)
Short Cut Draw Blood (1975)
Play It By Ear (recorded 1976-77, never released)
Daughter of the Night (1978)
The Contender (1978)
Electric Nights (1979)
The Sweet Smell of ... Success (1980)
Let The Thunder Cry (1981)
Fierce Heart (1983)

That's Love from 1983's Fierce Heart has Steve Winwood on synth, who also makes a cameo in the promo video. His biggest U.S. hit, it made #28 in summer 1983.





Shoe Shine is from 1979's Electric Nights.





From 1975's Short Cut Draw Blood, his cover of Love Hurts was Top 5 in the UK [#4].





From the same album as Love Hurts, the song It's All Up To You became his first UK Top 40 hit [#27] in 1974.





From his first solo album in 1972, the song Eve.

thanks, i didn't know jim did much solo

I'm not a fan of Stevie's voice (or Marriot for that matter). Can't stand that blue eyed soul thing. Think i've got all his work up to and including Blind Faith but it just doesn't do it for me.
On the other hand he is an amazing musician - brilliant keyboards and a pretty mean guitar player too, well-loved and respected by everyone who played music in the sixties (with the possible exception of Dave Mason). The guy jammed with Hendrix and is on Electric Ladyland. I think my lack of appreciation for his singing is very much my problem. Respect is due.

I have Oh How We Danced and Whale Meat by Capaldi. Raven reissued them, some time ago, as a 2 for 1 cd.

What's Let It Loose, or Shine A Light, if not blue-eyed soul ?

don't ask me...my eyes are definitely blue, but i'm soulless...

dear mr fantasy -great track gimmie some lovin -great track

I happen to like the live Gimme Some Lovin' from Welcome to The Canteen.

I wonder if there's a complete set of that concert, and should UMG, or Island, reissue it ?

I used to own "Arc of a Diver" (LP) and played it quite a bit when I was in college. Years ago I sold all my LPs. I don't miss it.

Island / UMG cocked up the reissue of Arc, as the 2cd set is a touch thin gruel. Single edits and a BBC Radio 2 profile do not a 2cd set make.

Beg to differ: Arc and Back In The High Life have some hidden depths to them. A bit like John Martyn's Glorious Fool.

it's just easier to dismiss the entire decade rather than trying to locate a handful of hidden gems. simplification is the key to a happy existence. or something.

The completist in me made me buy it; I almost wish I didn't.

I just wish Island / UMG would reissue Steve Winwood related material with excellent bonus tracks, like they did on the last John Barleycorn Must Die 2cd set. With Arc, there was a sense of perfunctoriness.
