Steve Winwood – New Track: “Dirty City”

As many of you know, my main musical love is the raw, rootsy, rockin’ sound of what most people call “Alt-Country”.  Of course, I love many other forms as well.  I have written on these pages about Counting Crows, Dropkick Murphys, Band of Horses and even Blues Traveler.  I have also always appreciated the work of Steve Winwood, especially his work with Eric Clapton in Blind Fatih.  We have a reunion of sorts (calm down), with the track, “Dirty City” from Winwood’s forthcoming solo CD Nine Lives (April 29 Sony).  Clapton provides the guitar slingin’ in this track which I cant help but call groovy  thanks to the keyboard work that will surely go under-recognized next to Clapton’s guitar and Winwood’s classic, distinctive vocals.
