...For 40+ years this LP has been a cornerstone in any rock library. The Ultra-sound of the original UK pressing brings the brisk crystal music up-close and in living color....CREAM meets TRAFFIC = BLIND FAITH
BLIND FAITH was cursed at its very inception by being billed as a supergroup. This was truly a pity, because for all the classic beauty of its only recording, BL|ND FA|TH was a band that never had a legitimate opportunity to come together as a performing ensemble. Hyped to the hilt and rushed into a massive, chaotic tour, the band fell apart after its final American concerts when Eric Clapton packed it in.
BLIND FAITH scored a big hit with its evocative ballad "Can't Find My Way Home," featuring Winwood's raspy falsetto, Clapton's poignant guitar, and Baker's pulsing brush work. But then, every song on Blind faith has become a classic FM radio staple. "Presence of the Lord" with Winwood's fervent vocals, "Had to Cry Today" (featuring Clapton's dense, multi-tracked blues leads), and the jacked-up rockabilly grooves on "Well Alright," are all good examples. But the band never had much of a life outside the studio, and after Blind faith folded, Winwood and Grech joined Baker's Air Force before reforming Traffic. Clapton began moving away from extended improvisations into more tightly structured song forms on his first solo album, ERIC CLAPTON, and proceeded in the same direction with Derek & The Dominos. Some fans (here) highlight the long 'Do What You Like" (a Ginger Baker composition) as the albums finest moments, complete with percussion work like only the master can supply....
