With now thrice-departed Dave Mason out of the mix and percussionists Jim Gordon and Reebop Kwaku Baah participating in the studio for the first time, the band's innate musicality truly takes wing. Winwood's familiar vocal phrasings nearly take a backseat to his fluid, dramatic guitar work on \"Rock \u0026amp; Roll Stew Roll\" and \"Many a Mile to Freedom,\" while the Tull-ish, folk-madrigal sensibilities of \"Hidden Treasure\" and \"Rainmaker\" are further punctuated by Chris Wood's deft flute and woodwind flourishes. Compared with the more organic John Barleycorn album, the contrast is all the more remarkable. While many contemporary bands were experimenting with various attempts at fusion, few achieved this collection's rock-jazz-folk-R\u0026amp;B range or level of often subtle sophistication. Digitally remastered, this edition also contains the six-minute-plus U.S. single version of \"Rock \u0026amp; Roll Stew, Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2\" as a bonus track. --Jerry McCulley\n\nProduct Description\n\nSteve Winwood and the band delivered a stellar set of songs on this 1971 LP, from the funky hit Rock \u0026amp; Roll Stew-Pt. 1 to the Capaldi-penned Light Up or Leave Me Alone to the sprawling title gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 731454882729\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0731454882729\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e IMCD548827-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e cd_r\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460044030249,"sku":"48-L3M1-1CL3","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51HuiF9D9cL.jpg?v=1762031467","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/en\/products\/the-low-spark-of-high-heeled-boys-remastered","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
