 Winwood just ok! July 21, 2008

I have to say I am disappointed with "Nine Lives", Steve Winwood's new release. Being a bass player I don't understand the lack of electric bass on the record. Most of the songs rely on Winwoods keyboard bass support and don't have the weight or feel that a bassist can provide. Also the drum beats are similar and feature too much percussion (congas and such) and not a strong trap set. The songs suffer from the lack of a traditional rhythm section. Steve's voice is fine and he looks from the photo to have aged well. The addition of Eric Clapton on one tune helps, but most of the songs just don't go anywhere, and lack the sound of a real band playing together. Buy the "Crossroads" concert with Steve and Eric and others live, unless you are a die hard Winwood Fan. clench
 a great album that grows on you each time April 30, 2008

I bought this album last night and found myself listening to certain tracks and skipping over some.Thats what I do.Although I was concentrating on other things I did manage to get my thoughts together.It opens with a catchy beginning then decends into a more bluesy traffic material.This album was more clearer than Its about Time which was badly produced.Its a TRAFFIC album not the High Life keyboardy songs from the eighties.I love TRAFFIC....This will grow on you.
Smooth Jazz Winwood Style April 30, 2008

After 2003 About TimeAbout Time as a HUGE Winwood fan I was ecstatic about his new Jamming direction which he explained in the title
song "Different Light". His new Album NINE LIVES was billed as a continuation of that style. Although the new Album does not contain the searing Hammond B or Guitar Solos(except Clapton's help on Dirty City), it has a great contemporary smooth jazz style with wide interludes( perhaps too wide on "Hungry Man"). Check out "Fly", "Other Shore", "At Times we do forget and "Raging Sea". As a 60 year old Winwood may be slowing down a bit but he is still Rocking on!!!(Could the same be said for Phil Collins or Billy Joel?)

Easy listening album. Underwhelmed by disk, Not much energy. And the track with Clapton? He was grossly underutilized.
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.
