Govt.Mule plays Traffic - "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"


"The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is a song by the band Traffic from their 1971 album of the same name. The song was written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood.
 The title refers to an inscription written by actor Michael J. Pollard in Jim Capaldi's bookin Jim Capaldi's book[clarification needed] while they were both in Morocco. Capaldi and Pollard were planning to work on a movie that was never filmed
 Capaldi said: Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level.
