Steve Winwood

Project was sparked by a return to the R&B-laced sound that initially hurtled him to fame as a teen.

He never lost his sense of showmanship, despite the intensity of the performance.

He was more famous than relevant by the time this sophomore solo project arrived.

After two consecutive smashes, he returned to the feel of his Traffic years.

Steve Winwood has been opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on their current tour in support of their new 'Hypnotic Eye' album.

Before Blind Faith -- before Cream, even -- an attempt was made to create a group around Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood.

Classic rock is about heavy hooks, power chords and tight harmonies. But it’s also about letting loose and enjoying the good times. And there’s no better time for that than Friday evening, when we pick up our paycheck, punch out of work and enjoy a couple days of much-needed rest and relaxation.

Like many of his fellow British rockers who came of age in the '60s, Steve Winwood's career crisscrosses with many of the era's legends. He was only 18 when he scored his first Top 10 hit, 'Gimme Some Lovin',' with the Spencer Davis Group; he formed Traffic by the time he was 20...

On Monday (Jan. 28), Eric Clapton announced that he is putting out a new album, 'Old Sock,' on March 12. Apart from the track listing, not too much other information has been available about the project.

Steve Winwood's classic 1980 record, 'Arc of a Diver,' is getting the deluxe reissue. The Second Disc reports that the updated version will come with a bonus disc that includes a number of extra goodies.
