Clapton-Winwood live album garners Grammy Noms

The 2009 release from Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, Live at Madison Square Garden, has earned two Grammy nominations for the former Blind Faith band mates.

Nominations were received for Best Rock Album and for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group for “Can’t Find My Way Home.”  They are up against some of mainstream rock’s biggest stars, including Coldplay, U2, Green Day, Kings of Leon and the Dave Matthews Band.

The 2-disc DVD set captures the New York City performance, a sold-out three-night gig, by these legends of rock, who reunited for a tour.  The second disc features an exclusive documentary with new interviews from Clapton and Winwood, rare footage and photos of Cream, Traffic and Blind Faith, and backstage behind-the-scenes scenes.

The 52nd Grammy Awards airs on January 31, 2010, from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on CBS at 8pm (EST).
