I'm gearing up to write my own review of this disc Donald, but I have to say that you've pretty much nailed it here. Congrats on the link from Winwood's website too! -Glen

Josh, I think Winwood has been out on the periphery in much of his career (so your impression of him is actually on the mark). His '80s solo success notwithstanding, Winwood seems to have prefered to be but a player in a band, a musician in a session (as he was for Jimi Hendrix, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, George Harrison, and many others). He's just so talented that his contributions tend to get attention. Thanks Josh and Pico for the kind words on the piece. - Donald

I've listened to Nine Lives twice now and I can wholeheartedly vouch for what Donald wrote about this record. He nailed it.

I'm intrigued, Donald. Winwood has always been out on the periphery for me. He's always seemed interesting enough that I should know his work better but hadn't made a compelling enough case to get me to bust out the wallet... yet. I've heard good things about the album and your review is the best yet. Good work, sir.
