In
January 1968, after some initial success in Britain with their debut
album Mr. Fantasy, Dave Mason had departed from the group. He produced
the debut album by the group Family, containing in its ranks future
Traffic bass player Ric Grech, while Traffic went on the road. In May,
the band had invited Mason back to begin recording the new album.
The
album was somewhat of a departure from the psychedelia of Traffic's
debut, featuring a more eclectic display of influences from blues to
folk and jazz. Mason ended up writing and singing half of the songs on
the album (including his biggest hit "Feelin' Alright?"), but making
scant contribution to the songs written by Jim Capaldi and Steve
Winwood. His flair for pop melody had always been at odds with the
others' jazz ambitions, evidenced by the dichotomy seen for the songs on
this album, and by October he was again out of the band. He would
return one more time for a tour and album in 1971 to run out the band's
contract.
