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.

love it
I am pumped about it too. If the rest of the album has the same vibe as this song, i’ll be very happy!
