Steve Winwood (album)

Steve Winwood is the debut studio solo album by blue-eyed soulster Steve Winwood. It was released three years after the break-up of Traffic. Though the album sold moderately well in the USA, it was a commercial disappointment compared to Traffic's recent albums, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In Winwood's home country the situation was reversed; while Traffic's recent albums had only been moderately successful in the UK, Steve Winwood reached number 12 on The Official Charts.Island Records launched two singles from the album, "Hold On" and "Time Is Running Out", both of which failed to make the charts.

    Famous quotes by Steve Winwood:

    "The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams"
    "Don't you know by now, luck don't lead to anything or why you keep on moving"
    "It could be my British need for discipline that makes me admire the American appetite for freedom and passion."
    "And also there hasn't been much footage of Traffic either. There is very little in existence and since Traffic is a very enigmatic and unusual band, we thought that now was the time to put this out and give people a taste of what Traffic was really about."
    "We released it on our own label, so it wasn't really a wide distribution but for our own little humble operation, we were very happy with the results, ... But a lot of people have asked me what I've done lately. And when I say I had an album out the last couple of years, they actually didn't know that."
    "I've now been adding some of the songs from 'The Last Great Traffic Jam, ... So I cannot possibly play (all) these songs in three hours but I do change the set up every night. We always enjoy playing."
    "Don't you know by now, luck don't lead to anything or why you keep on moving."
    "The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams."

    Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory (Remastered)

    by: Steve Winwood

    You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
    And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
    You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
    When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away
    Good man gets the good wife, while bad boy's cleaning up his knife
    And all I got is trouble and strife to help me on my way
    You're running round to nowhere, someone said it might be there
    But I'm telling you beware, the hand that fights you'll feed
    Investigating downtown, Sergeant Gruesome got shot down
    National Guard came all around, but couldn't find his knees
    Mickey Mouse was all put out, Donald Duck began to shout
