SINOPSIS:
From childhood prodigy to veteran master,
Birmingham-born Steve Winwood’s extraordinary
career is like a map of the major changes in
British rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm and blues from
the 1960s to the present. This in-depth profile
traces that journey and reveals a master musician
blending Ray Charles and English hymnody into
a unique brand of English soul.
From the blues-boom-meets-beat-group chart
hits of the Spencer Davis Group, through the
psychedelic pop of early Traffic and into
Berkshire as Traffic become the first band to
‘get their heads together in a country cottage’,
then via a brief sojourn in supergroup Blind Faith
and back to Traffic as a jam band who conquer the
emerging American rock scene, Winwood’s first ten
years on the boards were extraordinary.
As the 80s dawned he reinvented himself as a
solo artist and became a major star in the US
with hits like Higher Love and Back in the High
Life. These days he’s back in arenas, touring
with old friend Eric Clapton.
Paul Bernay’s film blends extensive interviews
with Winwood in his Gloucestershire home and
film of Winwood’s first return to that Berkshire
cottage since 1969 with rare archive footage and
contributing interviews with Eric Clapton,
Paul Rodgers, Paul Jones, Paul Weller,
Muff Winwood, Dave Mason and more.
