The Spencer Davis Group may be the most underrated group in the British Invasion. The band had a tight, swinging sound, a nice balance between guitars and keyboards, and a tasty selection of musical influences - not to mention rock's greatest white-soul singer (Stevie Winwood). Their albums featured some of the best British blues and R&B, along with pop-rock to rival what the Beatles were doing at the same time (this was pre-"Sgt. Pepper," after all). Perhaps one day the SDG will finally get their due.

Lovingly remastered by Sundazed records. Of course the cd starts with their monster hit " I'm a man". Absolutely amazing to think that Steve Winwood was only 15 - 17 yrs of age with this group, excellent guitar , keyboard and vocal. This cd has British blues, rock and boogie and is just what the soul needs if you are into 60's British Invasion era music.

The previous two reviews really do capture some very strong reasons to purchase this CD, but the version of "Georgia on my Mind" on this CD is the reason you will play it over & over again. It's a shame Amazon doesn't have a clip of that song for you to preview because it is truly one of the strongest versions of that song and one of Steve Winwood's great pieces of work ever.

If for no other reason, and there are so many, buy this album for this incredible version of a wonderful R&B song.
