This is about as solo of a solo album as you can get. 
Recorded at his own studio.
All instruments and vocals by him alone.
"Bloody 'ell, who needs a group?" 
Not Steve evidently.
Steve Winwood - Arc of a Diver

Pretty much, he did all of his own recording and most of the engineering as well

I'd never realized Steve actually played/sang everything on this

@myklj999 - These talented people have talented children but it's so hard for those kids to make it in the music business. Steve Winwood has a daughter who sings. She's not nearly as popular as her dad. People keep comparing the kids to their parents. The light of their parent is just so bright, the kids give up on a music career. I've seen it over and over again. Bob Dylan's son. James Taylor's son. Bill Withers' daughter. John Lennon's son. I am sure there are more. I could go back even further. Frank Sinatra Jr. was always in his dad's shadow. Although Nancy Sinatra, the daughter, did OK for a while. The Wilson-Phillips group who were the offspring of The Mama and the Papas were popular for a while.

Didn't John Fogerty play everything on the first Blue Ridge Rangers album in '73? I guess he and Winwood should have toured together.
Seriously, I really liked Arc of a Diver, but I had a co-worker in Norfolk who hated it. Any day she was in charge of the radio she would change the channel if this song or the title song played. I think it was retribution: she loved Journey, and I'd do the same every time Steve Perry's whinyass voice warbled out of the radio....
