3.8 - This record strikes a fine balance between summery jams like "Feelin' Alright" and "Means To An End" and proggy explorations like "No Time To Live." Usually this mix would make for a disjointed record but somehow it comes together beautifully. Winwood really slays the guitar solo on "Pearly Queen" and I'd put that performance up against anything by Clapton. I also love that they draw from a broad sound palette of flutes, saxophones, organs and electric pianos.
