"About Time" is aptly named. May 15, 2008

This excellent album by Winwood takes us back to the days of the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic. By that I mean it is heavy on the Hammond B3 Organ and percussion. Gone are the "Top Forty" pop hits of the 1980s. This album is the strongest work by Winwood in years and features longer pieces with excellent keyboard work. I am so glad I bought this cd. Everything about it is top notch. Winwood has assembled a group of musicians that contribute strongly to the set. The songs are well written, the guitar and drum work are very good and, above all, Winwood does an incredible job of bringing the B3 organ to the forefront. If you are a Winwwood fan and haven't purchased this album, do so. You will find "About Time" to be the most enjoyable album you have heard in years.

Bought this because I follow/love what Winwood has done in the past - very pleased I got it. It is full of tracks that stand out because of their musicality, difference to the current musical mainstream and depth/richness of melody and instruments. This album could be prescribed for stress relief, it is very cool. Plenty of Latin influence in this one but SW, as always, finding warm melodies and stunning vocals to spark the soul. For me it was worth buying just for track 1 (Different Light) and track 9 (Horizon) - and everything in between is great too.

This is the best quality album soud wis I have. The music is first class and will be enjoyed by all Steve Winwood fans. He only makes one every five years or so. You cant miss really. We all want a box set remastered but alas not yet. This is the next best thing.
Why remaster a great sounding CD recorded less than 3 years ago? May 9, 2006

I bought the CD with the companion recording of the three live cuts a couple of years back, and it sounds fantastic. Is this newly packaged dual disc version really remastered with superior sonics? or is it just a marketing gimmick. I am the suspicious sort.
Saw Winwood and his band at an outdoor show last summer and they were trememdous, they stretched songs from this CD and classic pieces into some great live workouts, go see them if they come to your area.

Perhaps the last time that I seriously listened to Steve Winwood was back during the premier attention focused on "Arc of a Diver". Anyone who can do the math knows that that was a long time ago and I have to admit that Winwood music was stapled in my synapses along with my perhaps less "responsible" days. Today, I believe that I can judge a suite of music with a bit more context than those younger, headier days. But, to my astonishment, I was "blown-away" by this resurrection of Winwood artistry. A syncopated blend of his most creative process, injected with blatantly latin/caribbean overtones simply left me breathless. The production, arrangements and insistent rhythyms led me to finish that bottle of Stag's Leap Chardonnay all by myself. In short, an incredible recording.
