Steve Winwood Handpicks Songs For New Boxset/Retrospective
. With tracklistings personally selected by Steve Winwood from his five decade career, Revolutions � The Very Best Of Steve Winwood will be available in two high quality formats: a single CD for the casual fan and a four CD deluxe box set including a 52 page book for the connoisseur, with sleevenotes by writer Dylan Jones. Also included in the four CD deluxe box set and single disc is a re-recorded version of "Spanish Dancer." Taken from his 1980 second solo album "Arc Of A Diver," "Spanish Dancer" is written by Winwood and Academy Award winning lyricist Will Jennings and has become a staple of Winwood's live show. The new version of the song features a new vocal by Winwood recorded at his home studio on his farm in Gloucestershire and it is mixed by Grammy Award-winning New York producer and recording artist Ben Wisch, one of the US's most in-demand piano players. A child prodigy, Winwood first performed live on stage at the tender age of 8 in his father's traditional jazz band, and joined the Spencer Davis Group at 14. His stunning vocal style was compared to Ray Charles. He left Spencer Davis to form Traffic then later teamed up with Eric Clapton in Blind Faith at the tail-end of the Sixties. Arguably his biggest successes came with his solo work from the Seventies on. In his teens Winwood played in pick-up bands for touring blues legends including Muddy Waters, BB King, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley. In a career lasting nearly 50 years he has sold over 50 million albums and several of his songs have become standards, notably "Gimme Some Lovin'" (memorably covered in The Blues Brothers film), "Can't Find My Way Home," "The Low Spark Of The High Heeled Boys," "Higher Love" and "Roll With It." He has been awarded multiple Grammy Awards � for "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Higher Love" (a US no 1 in '86) Gimme Some Lovin � Spencer Davis Group Revolutions: The Very Best Of Steve Winwood � 4 CD Box Set Preview and Purchase Steve Winwood CDs |
