Capaldi formed another band with Mason, Wood, and [[Mick Weaver]] but the creative tensions that had caused Mason to leave Traffic remained and the resulting quartet lasted only until March 1969. In January 1970 Capaldi and Wood joined Winwood in the studio to record Winwood's solo album. These sessions were so successful that the three of them reformed Traffic to release the album ''[[John Barleycorn Must Die]]''. They then toured the UK and the US with an expanded line-up, which would go on to produce the hit albums ''[[Welcome to the Canteen]]'' and ''[[The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys]]''. The [[The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (song)|title track]] of the latter, a cynical treatise on the music industry, would prove to be one of Capaldi's most famous lyrics. In addition, "Rock and Roll Stew (part 1)", a rare instance of a Traffic song with Capaldi on lead vocal, was a minor hit in the US.<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/traffic-p5681/charts-awards Traffic in the US Charts], Allmusic.
