Biography by William Ruhlmann
British drummer, singer, and songwriter Jim Capaldi was a member of Traffic in their two incarnations, from 1967 to 1968 and from 1970 to 1974. He frequently collaborated with bandmember Steve Winwood, writing the lyrics to many of Traffic's best-known songs. Capaldi recorded his debut solo album, Oh! How We Danced, during a hiatus in the group in 1972, and scored a U.S. singles chart entry with "Eve." He turned to his solo career full-time after Traffic's demise and earned a U.K. Top 40 hit with "It's All up to You" (1974) and two more U.S. chart hits in 1975 with "It's Alright" and a remake of "Love Hurts" that also hit the U.K. Top Ten. He charted with his second and third albums, Whale Meat Again and Short Cut Draw Blood. But he had to wait until 1983 to score another LP hit with Fierce Heart and its chart singles: "That's Love" and "Living on the Edge." Winwood guested on the album. Capaldi returned to the charts with his Some Came Running album in 1988. In 1994, Capaldi and Winwood reformed Traffic for an album and a tour.
Review by James Chrispell
Jim Capaldi struck out on his own following the break-up of Traffic and the result is the upbeat Short Cut Draw Blood. This album produced hit singles in the form of such tracks as "It's All Up to You," "Love Hurts," and the FM staple "Johnny Too Bad." Aided by a wide variety of musician friends and dipping into a wide range of musical styles, there is something for everyone on Short Cut Draw Blood. While some cuts still have a thrown-together sound to them, this album holds together even better than his first release. A fine look at the mid-'70s in terms of just how wide a variety of music could be contained on one album by one personality. [b]4,5/5[/b] AMG Album Pick [i]allmusicguide[/i]
