For decades I’ve been playing the Traffic album John Barleycorn Must Die, I still love it. Is anyone else a fan of it?

It's a great album. Every Mother's Son is a classic, as is the title track. For me though, nothing can touch "Holy Ground" on Far From Home. I love Davy Spillane's playing of the Uilleann pipes.

It's been a while. I'll add it to my playlist.
It's in hi-res on Qobuz. Never noticed that before.

I love the Traffic albums that I know, and that's most of them. Weirdly though, I don't think I have ever knowingly heard John Barleycorn. I shall have to change that.
