Chronicles distills Winwood’s extraordinary solo career from 1977–1994, while nodding to his signature blue-eyed soul, jazz-rock, and pop craftsmanship. It captures his evolution from the introspective Arc of a Diver to the Grammy-winning, chart-topping Back in the High Life and Roll with It. This is the collection that introduced Winwood to a new generation of listeners in the CD era.
Steve Winwood has never been a conventional singles artist. His early work with the Spencer Davis Group (“Gimme Some Lovin’,” “I’m a Man”) were raw R&B chart-toppers. Yet his most artistically revered work—Traffic’s “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” (1972), his solo album Arc of a Diver (1980)—included lengthy, atmospheric tracks. A “greatest hits full album” forces a selection that prioritizes radio edits and chart performance, potentially obscuring his improvisational genius.
