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.
