Glad (7:02)

Cover of John Barleycorn Must Die

From John Barleycorn Must Die and 12 other releases

Glad is the notable opener of the Traffic album “John Barleycorn must die”. It is meant to be listened as an album side, and transitions very well into “Freedom Rider” the following cut. Noticeable to the ear is the catchy piano opening by Steve Winwood, who also wrote the song.

    Wasn't that DJ Dennis Elsis, or Pete Fornatele? Hmm...

    San Diego State in the early 70's. This music was heard everywhere I went. This LIVE version actually equals or surpasses the album version (as great as that was!!). The Dead, the ABB, the Kinks, Tull, John Stewart, John Klemmer, Shawn Phillips, Dan Hicks, the Sons of Champlin, Commander Cody, Return to Forever yes yes yes

    Oh, I forgot to answer the trivia question. But since I have most of their original LPs I'll just go ahead and give the answer away. Traffic is Number One.
