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 longtime friend Eric Clapton, hot on the heels of their acclaimed Madison Square Garden concerts together) to the simmering "Hungry Man," joining a canon that spans more than 40 years to include some of the most beloved songs of modern pop and rock. With his signature work with the Spencer Davis Group ("Gimme Some Lovin'") to Traffic ("Dear Mr. Fantasy," "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"), Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home") and 30 years of solo ventures ("Higher Love," "Roll With It"), Winwood continues creating an era-bridging soundtrack of distinctive artistry.
