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.

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.
There's nothing better at a concert than hearing the lead singer say something like, "We'd like to bring out a special guest to help us out tonight."

It has been nearly 50 years since Steve Winwood burst onto the music scene as a member of the Spencer Davis Group in 1965.
