The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
''The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'' is the fifth studio album by English rock band Traffic, released in 1971. As with other Traffic albums, ''The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'' featured different forms and offshoots of rock including jazz rock, progressive rock, as well as classic rock and roll. The name of the album's title track was suggested by the actor Michael J. Pollard.
The album features the hit "Rock & Roll Stew" and the FM hit, "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys." This is the only original Traffic album to feature two lead vocals by Jim Capaldi ("Light Up Or Leave Me Alone" and "Rock & Roll Stew"). His only other unaccompanied vocal on a Traffic studio album was "Dealer" from ''Mr. Fantasy''. The LP is also notable for its die-cut cover.
''Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'' was remastered and reissued with one bonus track on 19 March 2002.
==Reception==
Critical retrospectives on the album are generally positive. Allmusic was overwhelmingly approving in its assessment, praising the variety brought by the non-Winwood/Capaldi compositions and the power of the lengthy title track, and claiming the album "marked the commercial and artistic apex of the second coming of Traffic".〔 In addition, Robert Christgau commented on the band's growth from previous efforts, stating that while the group is "devoid of intellectual thrust," they're "onto something," and "when it works, it suggests a nice paradox—relaxed and exciting at the same time."〔 Pop Matters offered yet another viewpoint, calling it "an album that's easy to listen to over and over, but one that seldom shows up on "best of" lists." It commented that most of the songs are highly understated and require multiple listens to appreciate.〔Lankford, Ronnie D., Jr. (30 May 2002.) (Album review ), Pop Matters.〕
