Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0886972225029 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 722250 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: April 29, 2008 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Album Description: Nine Lives expands on all the many phases and turns of Steve Winwood's lustrous career, bristling with his pure joy of music-making. The new songs range from the inspiring "Fly" to the burning "Dirty City" (featuring a guest appearance by long-time friend Eric Clapton) to the simmering "Hungry Man", joining a canon that spans more than forty years to include some of the most beloved songs of modern pop and rock.

 Rating:  - Roll me Another Doobie!Being a Steve Winwood fan for decades I could'nt wait to crank up his latest. Boy what a treat! I think every cut is great. What an excellent musician this guy is.

This CD runs the gamut in styles ranging from his Low Spark days to Back In The High Life. Dirty City, predictably, is a great cut with Clapton, but give the rest of it a chance to grow on you. Winwood's genius is still much more than just a flicker. Rating: - rock legendsStevie always has nice stuff. Good to hear from him again. Best is song with Clapton. |
