Talking Back to the Night ~

High above the heat of a summer New York street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He's a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone

Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using
And he says he's doing fine

And they look from such a height
That somehow it's all right
They're talking back to the night
It's all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It's how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
They're talking back to the night for you

Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it
And he's trying not to burn

Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
And it's no more than he needs
~~~

The amazing talent of Steve Winwood has been reflected by his many years of quailty singing and song writing. At the age of 15 Steve became a member of the Spencer Davis Group, and he co-wrote and recorded "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" before leaving to form Traffic with Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason. During the late-1960s, Winwood and Mason became close friends of Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix first heard "All Along the Watchtower" at a party he was invited to by Mason; they recorded the Hendrix version later that night in a London recording studio.

Steve formed Blind Faith in 1969 with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech. The band was short-lived, due to Clapton's greater interest in Blind Faith's opening act Delaney & Bonnie & Friends: Clapton left the band after the tour had ended. However, Baker, Winwood and Grech stayed together to form Ginger Baker's Air Force.

With a number of amazing solo albums and wonderful musical relationships including working with: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, just to name a few...he continues bringing us wonderful new music. Watch for the release of a new studio album, "Nine Lives," which is scheduled for release on April 29, 2008.

Wow, what a beautiful collage of shots, many of which I never knew existed! What a wonderful presentation of Steve's music. He truly transcends the years and years of performing such intelligent songs.
