Steve Winwood - Soulful Cover Songs, Volume 2: 2006-2021

Here's Volume 2 of Steve Winwood performing cover songs. Since most of them are soul songs, or at least sang with his usual soulfullness, I'm calling this series "Soulful Cover Songs." If you're a Winwood fan, you really need to hear these albums.

Five of the ten songs here have been officially released. "Ain't No Love" is from a Sam Moore album. "Love Will Keep Us Alive," a song written by Jim Capaldi, who was in Traffic with Winwood, was done for a tribute concert for Capaldi that later got released as an album. "Thirty Second Lover" is from a Steve Cropper album, "When the World Gets Small" is from a Gov't Mule album, and "Whiter Shade of Pale" is from a Santana album.

The other songs are from concert bootlegs. But those generally were soundboard recordings, so they sound excellent. A couple were from audience boots, but I edited them carefully until they sounded better. For instance, one thing I'm doing lately for albums like this that mix studio and live cuts is using the latest computer technology to get rid of the audience cheering on the live ones.

This album is 56 minutes long.
