Nine Lives
Steve Winwood
Released:
Apr 2008
Label:
Columbia
Winwood's 2008 release finds him touching on pretty much every aspect of his career, from the heavy blues of "Dirty City," which features the guitarwork of Eric Clapton, to Traffic-style groove rock ("Raging Sea") to straight-up soul ("We're All Looking"), and even the adult alternative mellowness of his '80s period ("Fly"). The opener, "I'm Not Drowning," is a stripped-bare and highly effective delta blues that features Winwood's trademark talent with a melody at the chorus. Impressively, he runs through all kinds of styles here but never stops sounding like Steve Winwood.
