BLIND FAITH

 Blind Faith were the band that introduced the world to the notion of a rock "supergroup," a combo 

featuring several musicians who had already achieved popularity and critical acclaim before 

joining forces to make music. Blind Faith also unwittingly established one of the most common 

features of supergroups -- most featured enough performers with strong résumés and egos 

to match that internal conflicts were all but inevitable, and as a consequence they usually 

fell apart rather quickly. Despite a hit album and a financially successful international concert tour, 

Blind Faith managed to rise and fall in the space of less than a year, 

and ultimately proved to be a large but curious footnote in the careers of four giants of British rock, 

Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech.

Blind Faith's first and last album remains one of the jewels of the Eric Clapton, 

Steve Winwood, and Ginger Baker catalogs, despite the crash-and-burn history 

of the band itself, which scarcely lasted six months. As much a follow-up to Traffic's 

self-titled second album as it is to Cream's final output, it merges the soulful blues 

of the former with the heavy riffing and outsized song lengths of the latter for a 

very compelling sound unique to this band. Not all of it works -- between the 

virtuoso electric blues of "Had to Cry Today," the acoustic-textured 

"Can't Find My Way Home," the soaring "Presence of the Lord" (Eric Clapton's one 

contribution here as a songwriter, and the first great song he ever authored)...(AllMusic)
