 Rating:  - Gets the job done, but leaves much to be desiredSteve Winwood's solo career rocketed into the stratosphere following 1986's Grammy darling, "Back in the High Life." That album came four years after "Talking Back To The Night", a collection of ingenious musical conceptions that unfortunately came up a bit short in execution, given their potential. This was preceded by "Arc of a Diver" and the self-titled "Steve Winwood", the former going to #3 on the charts, but the latter a much under-appreciated gem of a solo debut. So we can clearly ... Read More Rating:  - DisappointingThis Steve Winwood compilation is quite disappointing, to say the least. When I say a compilation is disappointing, that means it's pretty bad, because I'm quite lenient and always try to find the good in compilations, but there is very little good to say about this one. SO many key songs are missing and it just seems inexcusable. There are too many songs missing to even list. Sure, there are a few of his good songs here, but many are second-rate, filler songs. The best song on here is "Higher Love", a ... Read More Rating:  - Steve Windwood always delivers, that`s for sureSteve Windwood has his own style. There is a flair of "urbanism" on most of the tracks on this Cd. Some track`s doesn`t grip you at first, but there is something there, if you take your`e time an do some, let`s call it "active listning" where you open your`e senses and "let it go" . When you go through this CD, is like an interesting journey from the best of his solo stuff. The best track is the last one Track 10. Talking back to the night. Anyway let`s take it from the begining. Track 1 Wake me up on ... Read More Rating: - Just a teaseThis release only covers Winwood's work on Island. It is missing most of the key tracks from his solo career. An all encompassing retrospective is needed. In fact, I've saved Steve the time and picked the songs Talking Back to the Night While You See a Chance Don't You Know What the Night can do Valerie Finer Things Freedom Overspill Roll With it Why Don't we Live Together Higher Love Back in the High Life One and Only Man ... Read More Rating: - A decent sampler but scratches the surface.This is a wonderfully diverse sample of Winwoods 20 years of music making (at the time of this release) and all of the tracks are great. "Higher Love" was a well-deserved hit and "My Loves Leavin" is pure ecstacy. Yet there are far more lesser known songs on here that are also enjoyable like "Vacant Chair" and "Wake Me Up ON Judgement Day". The tracks from his 1982 "Talking Back" album are redone with a 1987 production and are great but I would've liked to hear them in their original versions. oVERALL this ...
