   runobodyii says I think I've yet to forgive Steve Winwood that "Higher Love" song which was an unremitting chalk-squeak to my nerves. This song almost redeems him, but when they start riffing on "higher ground" it's too close for comfort and I am traumatized all over again.

   funoka says The song I couldn't take was "Roll With It." For some reason radio programmers seemed to play Steve twice an hour in the mid-to-late 80s -- but it was a very lucrative time for him I am sure. Probably helped him buy the big spread pictured in the video where he and his dogs are roaming around the countryside like Robert Plant. I love it when English rock stars show off their cribs. That said, he is a rock icon and this is good stuff. His last (2003) record is worth a spin . . . it's got more long form rock jams on it. Not like the mid-80s stuff at all. His first solo outing (1977) is worth digging around for too. Full disclosure: I did like "Arc of Diver."

   dermahrk says Sounds great to me. Nice to hear a guitar-based track after decades of synthesizers. I may have to check this out - and his '03 release.
