Steve Winwood is the debut studio solo album by blue-eyed soulster Steve Winwood. It was released three years after the break-up of Traffic. The album did not sell well, reaching number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Island Records launched two singles from the album, "Hold On" and "Time Is Running Out", both of which failed to make the charts.
