Steve Winwood- Back in the High Life 40th Anniversary 6-15

A real timeless gem from four decades ago, quiet, resigned blue-eyed soul man Steve Winwood scored a monster of a hit album in June 1986 with Back in the High Life. Winwood was surrounded with some of the finest musicians, including guests Joe Walsh, Nile Rodgers, and James Taylor, top-notch sound, and his deepest well of Will Jennings co-written songs including “Higher Love” (#1 Billboard), “Freedom Overspill”, “The Finer Things”, “Take It as It Comes”, “Split Decision”, and the delightful title song “Back in the High Life Again”.

Steve Winwood joins me In the Studio in my rare interview covering the biggest album in his long illustrious career, Back in the High Life (three Grammys, over three million sold US), on its fortieth anniversary the week of June 15. – Redbeard
