In 2001 Capaldi's eleventh solo album Living On The Outside featured George Harrison Steve Winwood Paul Weller Gary Moore and Ian Paice.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a part of Traffic's original lineup. His musical career lasted more than four decades. Jim Capaldi performed with several famous musicians including Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton George Harrison Alvin Lee and Mylon LeFevre.
