They had issues dating back to the early Traffic days. Winwood, Capaldi, and Wood were more into psychedelic stoner jam rock and Dave was more poppy and wrote his songs independently of the others. It was Steve’s band, but Dave had the big hit with “Hole In My Shoe,” and that fractured their relationship more than anything. Dave left.

He came back for their second album because they were low on songs and he had about 5-6 ready to go, including “Feeling Alright.” Steve didn’t like Dave’s songs and Dave left again.

They’ve worked together sporadically, but they’re just very different men.

Also, Dave isn’t exactly Mr. Personality.

“Mason, Glaub added, was never into hanging out. He almost always traveled separately from the guys in his band. "He's a very aloof guy, basically. Not a real people person, which is unusual for what he does. He didn't really connect with a lot of the people he was working with, he just worked with 'em. And then he'd have other people that he traveled with, just to hang out with. We called them 'rental buddies' at the time."
