Steve Winwood has a new album out April 29, 2008 on Columbia Records, Nine Lives. Not simply relying on longtime fans of his former bands (Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Go, Blind Faith) and solo work, Winwood is hoping to attract the new generation’s love for modern Clapton (who guests on the track below), Santana and even Lou Reed. Signing on to open for Tom Petty’s new nationwide tour is a perfect place to start.
Nine Lives is a sultry, smooth rock standard reminiscent of when music was written to be good for 10 years, not just 10 weeks.

Steve Winwood singing on his lastest CD ( along with his playing) will just blow you away! How can he still sound as good as he did when he was a teenager! If you haven’t ever seen him live then your missing out. Over the years when Steve tours he always does a few tunes that you always wished he would have played live. One of the greatest rock and roll legends alive. I have over 300 cds of Steve playing and leading his band or sideman with greats like Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, B.B. King, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, T bone Walker and many others.
If Dear Mr. Fantasy, Can’t find my way home and other wonderful Traffic tunes your looking to hear you will be stunned how much he sounds like he did when he was 18. Gimmi some lovin, I’m A man as well. Winwoods last two cds are two of his bests seen Back in the high life. But these last two are more hard rock ruff recorded LIVE in the studio than high life. So go and listen to a musicians musician singing playing piano, organ & killer foot bass, Mandolin, lead guitar,
Vibes, and you will have a fun evening of listening to a true master of music playing his tunes from 1964-2008 guaranteed worth every note every night you can see him!
