Traffic: Shoot Out At the Fantasy Factory
Robot A. Hull, Creem, May 1973
They're playing it on the FM progressive stations. It's five o'clock in the morning, and some snoring deejay is claiming that Stevie Winwood really has his head together. Then he plays a cut by Johnny Maestro followed by well-known folkie, Kathy Colburne, and then into Colin Blunstone. And that's the sound of a fizzie hissing thru the haze.
