Beautiful music

I've got a new favorite song...only I've liked it for almost 40 years. Can't Find My Way Home was a Blind Faith song, and that means I first heard it circa 1969. Well, as anybody who is anybody knows, Clapton and Winwood got back together for first one concert last November and then a 14 date tour this past June. One of the songs in their two hour show was the afore mentioned tune. Only the 2009 version is truly brilliant. The lead in with the organ and guitar building to the actual song is sublime. And then all through the song the music behind the lyrics is worth the price of the CD in an of itself. I just can't get enough; I keep hitting repeat on my MP3 player. (Sure I ripped the CD; I'm not lugging around a great big CD-player...)

So, if you haven't already, get this CD (Winwood/Clapton Live) or just buy the track from Amazon or iTunes or whoever and see if I'm not right.
