Look up on the sleeve. He's a drummer. He's a singer. He's a songwriter. No, wait, he's Ringo! Oh, scratch that, he's just Jim Capaldi. Jim's creative energies were somewhat stymied in Traffic (what with Dave Mason and Steve Winwood already on board), so he started releasing solo albums after Low Spark, which not coincidentally signalled a decline in the quality of Traffic's later albums. Oh How We Danced is perhaps the closest in effect to Traffic, using many of the same players (Muscle Shoals, Winwood, Reebop), while "Love Hurts" from Short Cut Draw Blood is his biggest hit. By the mid '80s, Capaldi's releases slowed down to a trickle. In 1998, he reunited with Dave Mason for the 40,000 Headmen Tour, which featured classic Traffic material.
