A recent trip to America proved to be a traumatic period for Traffic. Once again the line-up has changed, with Jim Gordon (drums) staying over there to return to session work and Rick Grech leaving the band under undetermined circumstances, on his return to this country. The two have been replaced by two session men from Alabama's Muscle Shoals studios - Roger Hawkins and David Hood.

Jim Capaldi speaks about the making of The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys:
"I remember the "Low Spark" session vividly. I had written the lyrics for the title track and had given them to Steve. On the way to the studio he said he'd written something that was so so. When he sat at the piano and first played it through it took awhile to sink in- but you instinctively knew that you'd just heard a classic."
