Traffic John Barleycorn (Must Die) Comments
  1. j.... ....

    My past brought me here.

  2. T.... H....

    Traffic...and...Ten Years After....the single two most egregiously underrated classic rock bands. Ever. If you listen closely to John Barleycorn Must Die...you can hear Jethro Tull. Either Tull influenced, Traffic, or vice versa. No matter. It's ALL good.

  3. J.... M....

    Steve windwood > mastered the art of music at the age of 14-15 yrs old with the Spencer Davis group and has made(for us)some of the greatest songs ever and they never get stale I

  4. 6.... ....

    Really beautiful music. LISTEN to The Trees/Fairport/Steeleye Span/Incredible String Band/Pentangle , to name the best, all beautiful music

  5. a.... g....

    went to food lion yesterday, saw a 6 pack of nut brown ail. It sparked the memory of this song. So following the song, I bought it, made the oath, and it did die. If you can imagine after looking up the song I found it was about a nut brown bowl. shees, it was damn good though.
    next time I'll listen to George Thorogood, one bourbon , one scotch, one beer.

  6. E.... L....

    Como dizemos aqui no Pará: ê musica pai d'égua!

  7. B.... ....

    Im looking for folk-writers, for blues, folk, and rock songwriting group. Can it be done again? Message me.

  8. R.... O....

    That flute is so fucking cool!!!!!

  9. R.... M....

    We all need a little barleycorn.  The song is a metaphor for creating beer or whiskey.  By far the most creative and lovely song from Traffic.  They were an amazing group.

  10. S.... ....

    Sung by the same bloke who went on to have a huge 80's hit, 'Higher Love.' That man is Steve Winwood. Bet many don't know that.

  11. f.... e....

    está cambiando el aire!

  12. J.... P....

    I bought this album when it first came out. Still love it as much as ever, it's a classic.

  13. C.... B....

    Why why what did John do to be tied at the waist and strapped to a cart WHY

    C.... B....

    he drank :)

    C.... B....

    John barleycorn is a metaphor for grain, they buried grain in the ground, then it grew up again, then they cut it and tie it and take it to the barn and thresh it into grain and it gives life to everyone

  14. C.... D....

    AT A FIRST LISTENING I THOUGHT IT WAS A CAT STEVENS' S SONG......

    C.... D....

    It could have been... And S. Winwood did it!

  15. G.... B....

    Who influenced Stairway to Heaven?

    G.... B....

    Terry Reid,worth checking out.

  16. m.... ....

    This is the time I grew up.............

  17. A.... L....

    As classical flute folk tale music as Jethro Tull.

  18. N.... M....

    How versatile is Steven Winwood ? Up 'till this point he's mostly been cranking out white soul, blues, rock and now he helps to produce a stunningly amazing folk song. I hate him, the bastard. One person should not be so talented...

  19. J.... ....

    💙 what a beauty

  20. J.... W....

    Amazing how much I played this album ((1977-80); really taught me a lot. And I still will run lines through my head, not only from this song but the others on the album.  But this song is my fav - love it.

  22. H.... S....

    Top Titel

  23. R.... D....

    We knew Steve Winwood in 1971. He was in our headphones.

  24. K.... S....

    My roommate had this album when I was a sophomore in college. We played it every morning upon rising for an entire year before going to class. I never got sick of it. Now, it brings back such vivid memories of days gone by. It actually gives me a profound sense of sadness, and I'm not sure why.

  25. E.... C....

    Caught this on sirius xm driving home and remembered how much I liked it.

  26. A.... P....

    fuerza natural...

  27. C.... B....

    John Barleycorn.Legendary performance.

  28. H.... T....

    And those vegans think they're so innocent.
    What about John Barleycorn?
    Murderers!

  29. T.... C....

    Pollen by Jeff Noon, anyone? 😀

  30. E.... B....

    One of the best albums of all time!!

  31. M.... ....

    Ancestral memories never really die...............

  32. B.... W....

    Happy Lammas!

  33. N.... V....

    Of the many versions of this song by various others, Traffic made the most applaudable one. Winwood's best ever concoction with the group.

  34. S.... G....

    Faintly - just faintly - reminiscent of Celtic band Lothlorien's version of Foggy Banks. What an amazing song JBMD is... one of the finest acoustic songs in rock.

  35. m.... o....

    Con el viento fuerza natural uh perdon me confundí

  36. G.... T....

    Disco fantastico !!!!

  37. D.... P....

    Influencia de Gustavo Cerati

  38. M.... P....

    Questo brano al contrario del titolo della canzone non morirà MAI

    M.... P....

    I TRAFFIC sono una band da studio ma anche dal vivo le canzoni scritte in gran parte da Steve Winvood sono l'esempio di come si fa' musica sia in studio che dal vivo grazie a tutti voi

  39. M.... P....

    I TRAFFIC TOCCANO L'APOTEOSI CON QUESTA CANZONE TRATTA DA UNA BALLATA MEDIOEVALE BRITANNICA

    M.... P....

    Don't know what you said, but I agree

  40. R.... A....

    Grandes.... Trafficc una gran banda de la historia del verdadero rock.

  41. K.... P....

    Ez a zene a hetvenes években egy ablak volt számomra egy absztrakt ,fanatikus és roppant sötét elvarázsolt kastélyban ,egy ablak ,akár a Genesis és nem is kezdem sorolni a többi -többi fényzenét , azt a világot , amely csodás volt és mégis el voltunk zárva tőle.

  42. M.... A....

    YOU CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG IN THE "NIRVANA" MOVIE! :-)

  43. C.... A....

    Hermoso!!!!!!!!!

  44. S.... M....

    If you do not like this you can never possibly be my friend.

  48. C.... B....

    The rest of the alblum reached a critical mass.This was the magnus opus.

  49. u.... ....

    This song, much like "In the Court of the Crimson King" and "Lucky Man", has the ability to take me back in time...like, hundreds of years back in time!

    u.... ....

    True prog rock. That's why (they as a whole) aren't in the hof.

  50. H.... S....

  51. D.... ....

    Sampled on Fuerza Natural by Gustavo Cerati

  52. K.... S....

  53. D.... M....

    Hops, barley, and a bit of corn.

  54. D.... M....

    This song is a thousand generations old. .

  55. �.... ....

    134 times still great!

  56. D.... F....

    I fucking love this. I tried to write some profound verbs about the music and the talent and the pure musical feel , but it all sounded corny, so I fucking love this is what i came up with. I get lost in the feel, the layers, and the pure joy of great music..Cheers all..

    There were three men come out of the west, their fortunes for to try
    And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn would die
    They've ploughed, they've sown, they've harrowed, thrown clods upon his head
    Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead
    There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
    But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last
    They've let him lie for a long long time till the rains from heaven did fall
    And little Sir John sprang up his head and so amazed them all
    They've let him stand till midsummer's day and he looks both pale and wan
    Then little Sir John's grown a long long beard and so become a man
    There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
    But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last
    There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
    But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last
    They've hired men with the sharp-edged scythes to cut him off at the knee
    They've rolled him and tied him around the waist, treated him most barbarously
    They've hired men with the sharp-edged forks to prick him to the heart
    And the loader has served him worse than that for he's bound him to the cart
    So they've wheeled him around and around the field till they've come unto a barn
    And here they've kept their solemn word concerning Barleycorn
    They've hired men with the crab tree sticks to split him skin from bone
    And the miller has served him worse than that for he's ground him between two stones
    There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
    But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last
    There's beer all in the barrel and brandy in the glass
    But little Sir John, with his nut-brown bowl, proved the strongest man at last
    And the huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor loudly blow his horn
    And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pot without a little Barleycorn
    Lyrics from the Fairport Convention version, slightly dfferent....

  66. S.... M....

    Doesn’t get much better. The trio of Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood were amazing together. So wonderful to have YouTube to be able to hear my favorite tunes from those days, so long ago.

    S.... M....

    I love to sit at night and hear all my tunes on YouTube! The internet can be a horrible place but for me it's all about the music and sharing it! 1967 is my HIGH point in music! Creative! This is 1969! Chris Wood on flute was amazing!

    S.... M....

    chris wood is sublime on this track and the whole album really.

  67. m.... ....

    John Barleycorn Must Die è un album della band progressive rock inglese Traffic, pubblicato nel 1970.Come anche gli altri album del gruppo, fonde differenti generi musicali: rock, folk, jazz, e progressive, ma rispetto ai precedenti viene tralasciata la componente psichedelica a vantaggio di un suono più corposo, diretto oltre che professionale

  94. r.... s....

    Just parts of me i kill but not all of me i'm still me

  95. R.... H....

    Played this album so many times in the '70s the record skipped at the end of Freedom Rider.
