Fue su primer álbum de estudio en incluir al percusionista Rebop Kwaku Baah y la única aparición en estudio del baterista Jim Gordon y el bajista Ric Grech. Grech había trabajado previamente con el cantante y multiinstrumentista de Traffic Steve Winwood en el supergrupo de corta duración Blind Faith, mientras que Gordon había tocado con otro ex miembro de Blind Faith, Eric Clapton, en Derek and the Dominos.​ La batería en la canción «Rainmaker» es tocada por Mike Kellie, baterista de The Only Ones.​ Al igual que con otros álbumes de Traffic, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys presentó influencias variadas, que incluyen jazz, folk y clásica.​ El título del álbum fue sugerido por el actor Michael J. Pollard.​ El álbum presenta el éxito moderado de «Rock & Roll Stew» y la canción que da nombre al álbum, las cuales recibieron una gran difusión en las estaciones de radio. Este es el único álbum de Traffic en presentar a Jim Capaldi como vocalista principal en dos canciones («Light Up or Leave Me Alone» y «Rock & Roll Stew»).​ Su única otra voz principal en un álbum de Traffic fue «Dealer» de Mr. Fantasy (1967).​ (es)

Drums on the track 'Rainmaker' are played by Only Ones drummer Mike Kellie. As with other Traffic albums, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys featured varied influences, including jazz, folk music and Classical. The name of the album's title track was suggested by the actor Michael J. Pollard. The album features the minor hit "Rock & Roll Stew" and the title track, which received heavy FM airplay. This is the only Traffic album to feature two lead vocals by Jim Capaldi ("Light Up or Leave Me Alone" and "Rock & Roll Stew"). His only other lead vocal on a Traffic album was "Dealer" from Mr. Fantasy (1967). The LP's front cover is notable for its top right and bottom left corners being clipped, giving the illusion of a three-dimensional cube. This effect would repeated on their next album, Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory. On original pressings of the UK and some European versions, the title of both the album and song are shown as 'The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys' (with a hyphen) on the record labels. The album was certified gold less than a year after its release in the United States, and eventually certified platinum in 1996. It was remastered and reissued with one bonus track on 19 March 2002. It was voted number 625 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition (2000). (en)
