Reviewers Needed for Music Legend Steve Winwood's New CD - "Nine Lives"

i've been a fan of his since I was a teenager. He reminds me of my youth. I love the tone of his voice and the songs are great...i'm usually humming them for days after!

I like Steve Winwood because he's a real musician, in that he actually can sing and play instruments. He doesn't rap, and he's not all about image. He doesn't have to fake a criminal record to get cred from his peers. There's not enough like him! I'd love to review this album!

He's true. He can sing and play. His voice is strong and the songs are excellent. I love Dear Mr. Fantasy and Higher Love and I feel I will love this new CD just as much if not even better!

I think he is one of the truest musicians out there; without a doubt, a musical genius and his lyrics are outstanding as well. I find his music uplifting and healing. I have been a fan for at least three decades.

I've always enjoyed his music, and have written a wide variety of reviews both here on Gather as well as on Epinions, which would give his cd double exposure!

I like him but I love David Gilmour... it has been said many play the notes but few can play the pauses. Gilmour does

I love his older stuff like " Roll With It' and 'Refugees Of The Heart'. And I continue to enjoy his music; when he shared the stage with Eric Clapton, in Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival and played "Presence of the Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home I was once again entranced. As an artist he is more concerned with human connections, texture, and potent rhythmic contexts . He has a smooth delivery, high-spirited melodies, and that velvet voice of his and his soul-stirring rhythmic foundation is why I am a fan of Steve Winwood.

I'd like to do it because:

1. I've been a fan since his Spencer Davis group days. "Gimme Some Lovin" was one of the first singles I ever purchased.

2. I liked his work with Blind Faith.

3. Traffic is on of the most underrated groups of all time.

4. His solo works in the 80's, especially "Arc of a Diver" is great work.

5. I ran into him at Conor O'Neil's pub in Boulder a few years back. He was juggling a beer in each hand and the attention of numerous admirers, but was still gracious and funny.

I'm a big fan.

I AM STEVE WINWOOD'S BIGGEST FAN!!

I OWN ALL OF HIS MUSIC INCLUDING THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP STUFF TO BLIND FAITH'S TO HIS TRAFFIC DAYS AND THEN ULTIMATELY HIS SOLO WORK.

I THINK HIS MUSIC IS AWESOME AND LISTEN TO HIS WORK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A REVIEW OF HIS NEW CD AS I ONCE USED TO REVIEW FOR BILLBOARD MAGAZINE BACK IN THE DAYS OF INXS AND PRINCE, ETC., THE WILD AND CRAZY 80'S.

Oh My Gosh! I love Steve Winwood's music. I am a music freak. I love music. I always have some kind of music on no matter where I am at. I would love to listen to and review this CD. I am always buying CD's for myself and for others as gifts.

Steve Winwood is one of the true living legends of music. He stands alongside Neil Young, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and others as proof that real talent and commitment stand the test of time.

His start with the Spencer Davis Group at the age of 16 but sounding like a seasoned veteran with the soul and sound of Ray Charles was a musical revelation at the time.

He continued his incredible innovative sound with the groundbreaking group Traffic that sounded quite unlike anyone that had come before. Their fusion of rock, folk, blues and jazz was at times both hypnotic and infectious.

His short time with the first supergroup, Blind Faith cemented his place in the pantheon of great singer/songwriters.

Winwood showed that he could keep abreast of the times and shifts in musical direction during his solo career with contemporary hits like Back In The Highlife.

His more recent work has taken him back to his roots with a more earthy and engaging sound.

Steve Winwood continues to be a vital, worthwhile and vibrant fixture on the music scene. He seems to be going through a creative rejuvination and I can't wait to see him in July with Tom Petty in Raleigh, NC.

I would love to review the new Steve Winwood CD. There are so few singer/songwriters left these days, so it is so refreshing to hear his music!
I enjoy the versatility of the instruments he uses in his records, and his bluesy style.

Cause I love his music, and I want his new CD, I'm poor, and the only way I'm going to get it is if you give it to me? That's as no fluff, truthful as I can get, lol.

I do remember his Valerie from the late eighties,really good pop music.
Really really enjoyable.
ïs he still the same boy he use to be?We hope so.
And if you remind the music of those years I want to have a memory for Collin Jackson, from Men At Work and that unbelievable song ¨... Can I hold you in my arms tonight....

I remember listening to my mother listening to him when he was with Traffic, Blind Faith, and Spencer Davis..... and thinking this must be some older guy... and then I heard him when he was on his own and realized he was a musical genius with Higher Love and the other music that was more 80's/90's pop.. and it was still the r&B bluesy jazzy mixed with a bit of pop or a tweak of the lyrics that actually were so freaking intelligent that it had me in awe of this man and his ability to wind people up and get them moving both in the physical, mental and emotional sense.

Steve Winwood is one of the penultimate musicians/singers that bridges the late 20th to early 21st century.
He's someone that I have followed all my life-- his music creates a pulse in my veins and yet it has the ability to stir my heart. His keyboarding skills are amazing.. yet he's a gentle soul
I remember reading that he liked bird-watching..... and that he lives in Tennessee which is great territory for that.
I would *love* to review this one!!
