Steve Winwood’s Nine Lives CD is finally available today! I’ve only heard a couple of tracks from it, because I bought the single from iTunes already. The “Dirty City” video is below, which features Eric Clapton on a smokin’ guitar solo.So I’m getting this CD today. It doesn’t matter that Winwood hasn’t released anything in years. He still sounds just as fresh and relevant today as yesterday. You know the shows Winwood recently played with Clapton at Madison Square Garden still sounds as good today as they did 30 years ago.
PLUS…Steve Winwood is touring with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Wow, these will be great shows for sure! You just can’t miss with a double bill like this. And Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers always deliver the goods onstage. The band have created so many great tunes over the last thirty years, it’s hard to imagine how they stay so creative.
