Steve Winwood is the debut solo studio album by blue-eyed soulster Steve Winwood. It was released three years after the break-up of Traffic. Though the album sold moderately well in the USA, it was a commercial disappointment compared to Traffic's recent albums, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In Winwood's home country the situation was reversed; while Traffic's recent albums had only been moderately successful in the UK, Steve Winwood reached number 12 on The Official Charts. Island Records launched two singles from the album, "Hold On" and "Time Is Running Out", both of which failed to make the charts.
