And I Go...and go and go
). I've loved Steve Winwood for years and go back and forth between listening to his various albums (sometimes, this one, other times Arc of a Diver, etc. I always listen to full albums, not just singles, but the one exception is the song 'And I Go'. I can listen to this over and over again. It's such a romantic song and he sounds perfect on this - instrumentally and vocally. I love Winwood. .


Great Music, But...
. . it is unbelievely wrong that it cost $50! How about a nice $15 domestic release of this fine disc for us Stevie completists? I don't think that's asking a lot. .


Mono...
So, if you don't mind a mono download, by all means. I downloaded Still In The Game and although it's recorded at 256, it's MONO.


Steve Winwood's third solo album
The main problem with this album is that Steve chose to go it alone instead of using a band. This is Steve's third solo album and second with Will Jennings as co songwriter. Many of the songs on here would come across better if he was using real players but just about everything is done with synths which gives the album a very dry feeling to me. Several of the songs would come across pretty well had he used a band-Valerie, And I Go, While There's A Candle Burning, Still In The Game and Help Me Angel shows signs of being really good songs.


Winwood Is Still In The Game
Winwood plays all of the instruments himself, and the very-catchy songs on this album are among Steve's best, including the classic "Valerie," and other winners like "Big Girls Walk Away," "Still In The Game," "Help Me Angel," and the excellent, made-for-cruising title track. Steve Winwood's 1982 solo album, "Talking Back To The Night," is a breezy, cheerful delight. Yes, this is unquestionably Steve's most synthesiser-heavy album, (after all, it was made in 1982), but I think his synth sound here is simply wonderful and uplifting (as is his singing, songwriting, performing & production chops). I love the charming "do-it-yourself" vibe that Steve gives the music on this disc! So go ahead and pick up "Talking Back To The Night," one of my personal favorites from the multi-talented Steve Winwood. .
