Steve Winwood▸Six ways out Making modern musical history in seven tracks · 1968 to 2008

Steve Winwood "Higher Love" Back in the High Life · Island · 1986

StartPositive vibes only in this pop masterpiece. This was the only song we could put at the centre of this web.

01 Eric Prydz "Call On Me" Single · Data · 2004 · "Valerie" replayed, Winwood re-sings it · linked radio mix

ViaInvoking memories of sticky dancefloors and epic nights, Winwood's versatility is on full display here.

02 Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Chile" Electric Ladyland · Track · 1968 · Winwood on organ · 14:50

ViaHow many artists would kill to have a CV that includes working with Hendrix on this seminal album? Buckle in for this tour de force.

03 Christine McVie "One in a Million" Christine McVie · Warner Bros. · 1984 · a duet with Winwood

ViaTwo iconic forces combine on this duet and, like all good pop songs, it carries an edge.

04 Lou Reed "Caroline Says II" Berlin · RCA · 1973 · Winwood on organ and harmonium

ViaExperimental in a way that only Lou Reed could be, it's not for the faint-hearted.

05 Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood "Cocaine" Live from Madison Square Garden · Duck/Reprise · 2009 · recorded February 2008

ViaMost people go for "Layla" when picking a Clapton song. For us, it's "Cocaine" and this tale of addiction and its consequences.

06 Traffic "John Barleycorn (Must Die)" John Barleycorn Must Die · Island · 1970 · traditional, arranged by Winwood

ViaAnd finally, we couldn't celebrate Steve Winwood without a nod to his folk side.

On this trip we learnedJust how deep the Winwood rabbit høle goes.

When we were handed this assignment, we worried that there wouldn't be enough material out there to pull this off. How wrong we were. We've barely scratched the surface here, but we think it's a great place to start. Jump with us, Rabbits.

We didn't know where to start with this but now we don't think we want it to end.
