Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Steve Winwood was the boy genius of British R'n'B, blessed with a soulful voice way beyond his tender years, and a multi-instrumental facility on anything bearing keys or strings.
But like all talented teens, his gifts needed context and guidance, which this compilation suggests were best provided by Jimmy Miller, whose production work on the classic Spencer Davis Group and Traffic material was revelatory. The remastering emphasises the SDG's propulsive muscularity, but the set falls down in trying to condense Traffic's achievements into just four tracks, while Winwood's patchier solo career is covered in greater depth. Can't argue with just one track from the doomed Blind Faith project, though.
