Steve Winwood Good stuff though. Would have loved to have had Arc of a Diver on this and it would have been 5 1/2 stars.
living legend
I've seen the Stones, Paul McCartney, etc. I saw him live with Eric Clapton and it was @ the best top five concerts I've seen. I recieved it fast and in great shape.
Didn't Know That
However I didn't know that Steve Winwood was part of the Spencer-Davis Band. The entire CD is great and I'd heard most of the songs before. The two songs from Spencer-Davis are two of my all-time favorite songs. I also really like Mr Fantasy and Presence of the Lord.
Great Collection
That's all captured here in an outstanding collection of songs. To get an overview of the music Steve Winwood's been involved with, you have to look at the bands he's been in and the influence they've had. I think you could debate what to add and what to leave out, but you can't argue that Winwood is an outstanding musician who has been quenching our musical thirsts for years.
The most original Winwood collection on the market
He has a legendary rock and roll voice, and there's nobody quite like him. Steve Winwood. And, in 2000, he was awarded a collection in UMG's '20th Century Masters' series.
Unlike 'Chronicles,' this set features none of Steve Winwood's solo years. Instead, you get, in my opinion, his best years. You get his work with The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic.
But, every single major hit from all three of the bands are featured here. 'I'm A Man (Spencer Davis Group),' 'Dear Mr. Fantasy (Traffic),' 'Can't Find My Way Home (Blind Faith),' and of course 'Gimme Some Lovin' (Spencer Davis Group). '
This set is mostly Traffic songs. 7 out of the 11 songs featured here are Traffic songs.
This is an excellent. Buy this and 'Chronicles' and you have all of Winwood's most important work. Highly recommended for any Winwood fan. ENJOY!!!.
