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: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Lives On
There are some fantastic songs on these cd but there are some repetitious ones that i could live without . I give it 4 stars because the fantastic songs are worth listening , even that this is the most Eric Clapton composition style Steve has written . Buy a used cd so you wount feel so bad that only the first 5 songs are worth it ...
Common Stevie , 2 cds to make one ? . I mean It's about Time and 9 Lives could be a really good one ... I will wait for Comming of Age ...



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Winwood's most African record in years
Not since his collaborations with Remi Kabaka and Abdul Lasisi Amao (Aiye-Keta, 1973) has Winwood explored African rhythms and style in such depth as on this recording. A perplexing album if one is looking for vintage Winwood pop or even latter-day Traffic (although elements of both survive and even thrive on this recording). Overall, Winwood's vocal abilities still amaze, his lyrical sensibility is always interesting, and the musicianship on this record surpasses anything by ANY new band pretenders ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "I'm Not Drowning"... w/ killer guitar riffs!
Jose Pires De Almeida Neto plays a killer guitar! The riffs on "I'm Not Drowning" are absolutely hypnotic. Forced me to finally uncover my electronic keyboard (groan... but it's modern times) and pull out the manual and try to learn how to play it just to keep up with this fantastic song. Haven't heard anything quite like it in years; jazz and rhythm and blues all together now, don't stop, don't stop, keep it going... Fantastic! Jose Neto is one incredible guitarist, plays so simply yet melodicly it's ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Listening
Steve still has it! Not a whole lot of broken ground here, but solid music with great percussion, and classic organ. His voice is still as good as when he was with Spencer Davis doing "Gimme some lovin". Nice surprise.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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. Can't wait for him and Clapton to do some bits together. Enjoy this one...
