Steve Winwood

Last night at the Blender Theater in NYC I stood 20 feet in front of greatness.
How can you begin to talk about Steve Winwood's career? A prodigy who scored his first global hit at 18 years old with the Spencer Davis Group, and then went on to quarterback Blind Faith and Traffic, two bands at the top of any conversation about great classic rock. And then there was his solo stuff.

That amazing voice from another world is out touring in support of this new album NINE LIVES, and you're definitely going to want to check out both. More info on Steve's website., but the first single is "Dirty City" and features Eric Clapton on guitar. The first 5 seconds sets the tone here, just listen to that incredible guitar sound. Really enjoying this album, and will be taking a look at Steve's incredible career all week here at FM.
