 Flashback to the Seventies June 9, 2008

Nine Lives is an excellent new recording by one of my favorite artists of all time. After listening to it, I had a craving to hear all my old vinyl recordings of 'Traffic', especially "The low spark of high heeled boys".
Upon repeated listening to Winwood's latest recording, I found myself enjoying it more, but it's not easy to compare it to his classic tunes. Those were different times, music that defined an era. Still, I'd rather listen to Steve Winwood, new or old, than most anybody else.

Steve who has been around for ever, continues to put out great music. This is a delightful CD for fan's of Stevie and a great introduction to a rock ion for those not familiar. Highly recommended.
 OK CD but Lacks Passion of Previous Work June 8, 2008

I am a little disappointed with Steve Winwoods's latest CD "Nine Lives". Sound is OK, vintage Steve Winwood. But after previous "About Time" the new CD seems a little stale. Especially dissapointing is the guest appearance of Eric Clapton- the song is OK but he used too much distortion in the guitar solo. Being a lifelong fan, this certainly won't keep me from checking out Steve's next effort.
 This album is a crashing bore!!! June 7, 2008

Like the other reviewers above, I was unimpressed by this album, which just seems like "product." It is frankly boring, with a sameness to the sound of the tracks which nearly put me to sleep. Although Winwood has never been a strong vocalist or lyricist, his efforts here are frankly dull. Is he just riding the little blip in popularity caused by his recent appearances with
Eric Clapton at MSG??
Save your money; buy the "Blind Faith" album or something else!

Some reviewers have said that if you like Traffic and Blind Faith, you'll like this. That's true, but I find Steve Winwood's new album to be much more complicated than that. It does have Traffic and Blind Faith moments, but they are moments in a much bigger picture. There are ghosts from his entire career here along with fresh new work as well. I find the title very fitting. All his past lives are represented along with his new 9th life. Almost every song is different; mood, instruments, etc.. which I find very refreshing for someone at this point of his career. AND his voice is right there! Amazingly it's held up INCREDIBLY well!! Unfortunately that's not always the case. He sounds great. Out of the nine songs on this CD there are two I don't love. That's why I give it four stars instead of five. If you truly like Steve Winwood, you'll like this!
