John Barleycorn by Traffic

“Folk Music & The Legend of John Barleycorn. "There was three men come out o' the west their fortunes for to try, And these three men made a solemn vow, John Barleycorn must die, They ploughed, they sowed, they harrowed him in, throw'ed clods upon his head, Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead." Traffic were an English West Midlands Prog/Psychedelic Rock band that was active from 1967 to 1975. John Barleycorn (must die) comes from their eponymous 4th album recorded in 1970. #Folk #JohnBarleycorn #Traffic #Winwood

After a reaper, I thought it was a good idea to play barleycorn... :)

Just got back from vacation and this is the perfect song to ease me back into the today to today routine.
