The album speaks for itself--great songs, great musicians. This is the best solo album Winwood has done in a long time. The 2nd CD is excellent--Winwood at his best--he plays the guitar with such feeling and cranks out excellent solos. I saw him live at the Fillmore last year and he was truly enjoying himself- he trades off with all the musicians in his band and plays every instrument with excellent touch. He is truly an all round musician and singer. These type don't come around very often. Treasure it while you can. Click on this and buy this now!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Boy genius has still got it, December 15, 2005

Since his debut with Spencer Davis as a mere teenager, Steve Winwood has exemplified all that is great about rock. This album is nothing short of superb. He takes an obscure soul number like "Why Can't We Live Together," and puts his definitive stamp on it. I've heard him described as a white Ray Charles, and after seeing him in September at Denver's Paramount Theater, I have to give in to that cliche. From the outstanding opening track to the final cut, this album brims with understated elegance that is rare in rock anymore. Everything from soul to latin to Traffic-style up tempo numbers is what you will find on this remarkable recording. His Hammond B-3 playing is still the standard among keyboard players and provides a very warm retro feel to the production. The band seems to be essentially the same one he tours with and they are all superb musicians. I would encourage the purchase of this record, and even more so, encourage everyone to catch his live show. From boy genius to rock pioneer to grammy winner, Steve Winwood deserves, and has earned, all of the accolades and admiration one can give a performer.

I bought the CD with the companion recording of the three live cuts a couple of years back, and it sounds fantastic. Is this newly packaged dual disc version really remastered with superior sonics? or is it just a marketing gimmick. I am the suspicious sort.

Saw Winwood and his band at an outdoor show last summer and they were trememdous, they stretched songs from this CD and classic pieces into some great live workouts, go see them if they come to your area.
