	Steve Winwood - Biography - AOL Music
		As a solo artist, Steve Winwood is primarily associated with the highly polished blue-eyed soul-pop that made him a star in the '80s.
		Winwood began work on what was slated to be his first solo LP, but he gradually brought in more ex-Traffic members to help him out, to the point where the album simply became a band reunion.
		When Winwood finally returned with his self-titled solo debut in 1977, Britain was in the midst of the punk revolution, and the music itself was somewhat disappointing even to Winwood himself.

	Rarebird's Steve Winwood Reviews
		Steve Winwood began his career in the mid-'60's as the teenage singer/guitarist/keyboardist for the Spencer Davis Group, the blue-eyed soul band that gave us the classic "Gimme Some Lovin'".
		Winwood's career had a second wind in the '80's, when he became a chart-topping multi-platinum solo artist.
		Winwood's self-titled 1977 solo debut is a surprisingly laid-back effort that catches him right smack in the middle of the transition between his '60's and '80's sounds.

	[Scott Tribble] Publications - Q&A With Steve Winwood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Winwood: Well, I was brought up as a Christian in the Church of England, the "High" Church of England (sometimes called "Anglo-Catholic"), but it was basically Anglican.
		Winwood: I think the answer to that is slightly debatable and subject to opinion, to a certain extent.
		Winwood: It wasn't very long, it was just the initial idea that it was to be a solo album, but then almost immediately I decided I wanted to make it a Traffic album.

		Steve Windwood's self-titled debut solo album (1977) was a dry run for the massively succcessful "Arc of a Diver" that would follow it three years later.
		Although it would take Steve Winwood one more album to truly establish himself as a solo artist, which he did with his 1980 hit release "Arc Of A Diver," his self-titled solo debut is a truly excellent album, and I sincerely hope that more of Steve's fans will check it out.
		Steve Winwood's first solo LP is rather hard to come by, probably because few were produced or purchased, and now it's out of print, so you probably won't be getting it cheap.

		Scoring on the pop charts with Winwood penned "Gimme Some Lovin,'" and the ironically titled "I'm a Man," young Winwood was quick to craft now essential standards in the rock and roll canon.

		There are official Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi web sites, as well as an unofficial site called "Smiling Phases." There's also a good Dave Mason site with lots of biographical information.
		Winwood's vocals are often weak, and Wood's sax playing isn't strong enough to carry his lengthy spotlights.
		Winwood guests on a few numbers, most notably the title track, where he sings backup, and the catchy "Something So Strong." Eric Clapton solos briefly on the bouncy "You Are The One," and George Harrison joins Clapton on "Oh Lord, Why Lord." Other guests include Roscoe Gee and Mick Ralphs.

	Home Theater & Sound -- Soundstage Presents: Steve Winwood - ****
		Steve Winwood appeared on the show in October 2003, when he was touring in support of About Time, his first release in six years.
		Winwood looks and sounds terrific, and the recording captures nicely the spinning Leslie speaker on his Hammond organ.
		It would have been nice to hear more songs from Winwood’s solo career, but otherwise this is an outstanding live performance, well captured by director Joe Thomas and the camera crew at WTTW in Chicago.

		If songs like Cigano, Phoenix Rising, and Silvia proved that Steve Winwood could still turn heads in the rock world, the additional tracks on the 2004 release of About Time may have dropped some jaws all the way to the floor.
		Fantasy" was a smoking hot blues-rocker when Winwood first did it as a member of Traffic, and I didn't think it would be possible to top that version, but this well-recorded live rendition may have done just that.
		Winwood does a convincing job with the words, yet it is the heat generating interaction between the great organist and his inspired bandmates on guitar and drums (Neto and Reyes, I assume) that make this a worthy tribute to the legendary Fire.

		To give Winwood his due, though, he's stylishly, likably boring – the perfect artist for veteran rock & roll fans who remember the fabulous Sixties, don't really want to admit to being New Age fans but aren't comfortable putting anything too abrasive or experimental into their CD players.
		Steve Winwood might be the perfect yup-rock artist: he's got the history, the chops, the voice, the impeccable digital sound, everything it takes to please the big chillers and thirtysomethings in the albumbuying public, which is generally far older than it was back when Winwood was rawer and more adventurous.
		Though Winwood is hardly the first youthful Sixties phenom to turn into a cautious professional his Blind Faith colleague Eric Clapton has spent years as just that – too much of his music has become complacent and insubstantial.

		Whether you’re a fan of Winwood’s Sixties and Seventies work with Traffic, or his pop/soul extravanganzas in the Eighties and into the Nineties, this little gem of a record brings out the best of both worlds.
		Winwood, currently in his fifth decade of performing, concentrates here on the sound of his Hammond B3 organ, with scant, yet tailored, accompaniment from a guitarist and a percussionist.
		Like the best of Winwood’s material through the years, it both harkens back to the past, and reaches to the future, an interesting journey through his creativity.

		Steve Winwood's first new solo album since 1997, the appropriately-titled "About Time," finds Steve dipping into Latino-flavored rock that greatly reminds me of a particularly famous rock guitarist named Carlos.
		Steve proudly wields his trademark Hammond organ all throughout the album, and his classic, soulful singing voice, so often compared to Ray Charles, remains perfectly intact.

		The Los Angeles Times agreed, saying "Steve Winwood hasn't so much returned to the Traffic approach as he has refreshed it, and his sense of musical liberation is as enticing as are his Hammond skills and, of course, that still-soaring voice."

		Steve Winwood was indeed enjoying the high life after the release of this album in 1986.
		Winwood almost became too popular as a result of these songs; the radio played Higher Love, The Finer Things, Freedom Overspill, and Back in the High Life Again so often that even I eventually began to grow tired of them.
		Steve Winwood's solo career peaked commericially with "Back in the High Life," which for a time made him one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

		Steve Winwood and his ace band rumbled the art deco rafters with a long, loud show that left the crowd yelling for more.
		The song's frantic final two minutes were stunning, a whirlwind of sound that brought the creaky-kneed crowd to its feet.
		The typically epic-length but unhurried "Low Spark" was a study in gentle ebb and mighty flow, the slow parts at dirge speed and the fast parts not quite so fast.

		While Winwood's name may not be well known to everyone, his music, without a doubt, is. After earning his stripes with such notable groups as The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton), and, most notably, Traffic, Winwood branched out into a solo career and found enormous success in that arena.
		Steve has been involved in several of my favourite albums of the past thirty-odd years.
		This is a wonderfully diverse sample of Winwoods 20 years of music making (at the time of this release) and all of the tracks are great.
