“One of the things I love about music is that gems like this are always waiting to be discovered by a new listener. How the hell did I managed to miss this until age 35? I love that there is an infinite amount of music out there waiting to be found, from 50 years ago right to whatever has been freshly posted on the net today. Had never heard of this supergroup until a year ago – Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. This acoustic version is better than the electric one.”

Despite hearing it plenty of times over already, this has become one of those songs where I have to stop what I'm doing and listen. It's really the first time I've taken notice of the earnestness and beauty of Steve Winwood's vocal performance (with some parts that sound like they could've inspired Jeff Buckley at one point), and the simplicity of it only warrants more and more repeated listens as time goes on. Great percussion, great vocals, great everything.
