Transcendent Winwood.......2007-05-31

When I'm on my deathbed and pondering the meaning of existence, I'm going to remember watching film of the eighteen-year old Steve Winwood singing "Georgia on my Mind" with acne and effortless soul. I go to it every so often to get hopelessly lost in thoughts of love, youth, song and the earth. It's a song about a song (so is Hoagy Carmichael's other gem, "Stardust," but he didn't do the lyrics for either one); it's a song about a particular place; it's about love; and it's sung with exquisite innocence by the very ancient spirit inhabiting dear young Winwood. (FYI It was originally written about Carmichael's sister Georgia, but has come to mean the state.) Winwood steals Ray Charles's intonation completely here (Charles did his version six years earlier in 1960), but no matter. It works. It's wonderful. Just skip to that one track. If you have a taste for rock and roll and above all if you remember the tunes, watch "I'm a Man" just before it and "Gimme Some Lovin'" just after it. Icing on the cake. I don't even care for rock anymore--I like electronic music and various other modern styles--but I once did (I'm Winwood's age) and this is epic stuff.

It's worth noting that Winwood's keyboard work is fantastic, too.

I'm no expert but I think the cinematography is ahead of its time, with ultra-close-ups and some fade-ins that are impressive. I suppose I should give this documentary some demerits **as a documentary** but as an experience in DVD watching with a fast forward button, I say it's seven stars, or twelve.

Yes, this is the CD with the "Ameriprise" Music on it.......2007-01-05

Once again a billion dollar corporation has coopted some important music from the late 60's and early 70's to chop up and use as background music for a 30 second commercial aimed at us citizens who are just starting our 60's. Go to the source...this CD...and hear it as you loved it. If you happen to be a postwar baby boomer this album's recording of Gimme Some Lovin, the title track, will take you back to what I remember as a great time. Note: The Spencer Davis Group takes the song slower and more laid back on this "Live" recording. You may prefer the original release which is available on another CD if you want the "pure thing" you heard on the radio. Unfortunately the technical quality of the master tapes isn't as good as are many of other contemporary recordings.
