Steve Winwood - Winwood And Friends



















Steve Winwood - Winwood And Friends - 1972


from ecrater.com
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. Yet his turn as a slick, upscale mainstay of adult contemporary radio was simply the latest phase of a long and varied career, one that's seen the former teenage RB shouter move through jazz, psychedelia, blues-rock, and progressive rock. Possessed of a powerful, utterly distinctive voice, Winwood was also an excellent keyboardist who remained an in-demand session musician for most of his career, even while busy with high-profile projects. That background wasn't necessarily apparent on his solo records, which established a viable commercial formula that was tremendously effective as long as it was executed with commitment.

Available on record in various forms, this is an essential insight into SW's early years. Most commonly available on "Steve Winwood and Friends" on the American Springboard label (catalogue # SPB-4040) or the French BYG label, long since out of print, but can be found in decent second-hand record shops and sometimes through the small ads in the Record Collector magazine. This is nice raw stuff with "Mojo" featuring SW and Spencer up at the mic for an all-star jam session including Sonny Boy Williamson, Long John Baldry, Eric Clapton, and Art Themen among others.

@Roderick,
É verdade. Bons tempos.
Mas Winwood é um dos poucos (até por ser o menos velho deles) que ainda está, digamos, "em forma".
Playbacks e enrolações como sair de cena a cada música para trocar de roupa (e quem sabe um suprimento de oxigênio rs) ainda não é norma para ele.
Enquanto alguns fans continuarem querendo ouvir Coverdale, Gilan, aquele que usava um coletinho curto.... eles continuarão a fazer shows, até com fraldas geriátricas.
