Biography

Winwood was just a teenager when he rocketed into the international spotlight as the prodigious singer of the Spencer Davis Group (which also featured his brother Muff on bass). The blues and R&B-influenced rock of “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “I’m a Man” stood among the leading hits at the peak of the British Invasion, Winwood’s singing drawing comparisons to that of his idol Ray Charles - despite his… Read more in Amazon's Steve Winwood Store

Of Steve Winwood's solo efforts this was probably the best 24 May 2001

By A. M. Geake

Format:Audio CD

Arc of a diver was Steve Winwood's second solo offering after his eponmynous debut. Moving well away from his earlier work with Traffic, Blind Faith and the Spencer Davis Group, Arc of a Diver has a very early 80's feel to it, with 'electronics' in abundance, though its no less impressive because of that. The album kicks off with a real tour de force "While you see a chance" is a rousing number that was the obvious single from the album. In a sense its almost a 1980's form of gimme some lovin...catchy melody, memorable lyrics and very effective use of keyboards (indeed, Winwood plays virtually all the instruments himself on this album). Second hand woman and the title track Arc of a Diver are fairly mediocre, but "slowdown sundown" and "Dust" though in a similar vein are appreciably better, showcasing Winwoods soulfull vocals well. That leaves us with "Spanish Dancer" and "Night Train", alongside "While you see a chance", the stand out tracks on this album. Curiously both of these songs are best listened to at night. Night train when you're on the road...its the one track which showcases Winwood's vastly underated guitar work...and moves alongs brilliantly the faster your going. I first heard Spanish Dancer in a record shop some 20 years ago and it immediately made me stop in my tracks...it still has that effect. The sound is atmospheric and very underwater...there is something very marine about it, and comes closet to matching the albums catchyly designed cover...its a track that can certainly get you in the mood! yet its not romantic as such more mysterious. Of Steve Winwood's solo efforts this was probably the best....

ARC OF A DIVER 20 Jun 2009

By Mr. I. D. Rhodes

Format:Audio CD

Steve Winwood will be one of those performers who will last forever. His talents stretch from Spencer Davis Blind Faith. This CD is full of excellent tracts and should be on everyones CD rack. I have the original Vinyl and would not miss having CD as well.

Old Favourite Revisited 4 July 2009

By J. M. Stocks

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this CD to replace an old vinyl album. It was great to hear some old favourites again - keeps me company in the car where no-one else can hear me sing along! Good mix of Steve Winwood classic styles

My husband has wanted this recording for a number of years. The quality of the vinyl is excellent, as is the content of the album.
