    Looking back at the summer of 1969, you'd have to say that there was indeed a bumper crop of classic rock albums. Let's see there was Workingman's Dead, which transitioned the Dead from psycadellic jug band to a new acoustic blues-folk-country genera that continued on into American Beauty. We got the amazing Soft Parade by The Doors in '69. Jethro Tull put out their debut album, the only recording with orginal Blodyn Pig guitarist Mick Abrams. Procol Harum signed on with A Salty Dog, a collection of dark broodong songs evoking "Tales Of The Ancient Mariner". There was the understated brilliance of Crosby Stills & Nash. Together or without Neil Young, this was the first edition of what would become one of Rock's most enduring super groups.

    That brings us to rock's most ill-fated super group....Bind Faith. For my money this was the premire event in an all too brief period of unsurpassed classic rock releases. They became for me, a perfect blend of almost all the aforementioned classics. Winwood carried along the haunting bluesy vocals he perfected with Traffic and Clapton showed the world that he didn't need to extend guitar solos beyond the three minute mark to express heart-felt passion deep down to your toes.

    So why did Blind Faith collapse in less than twelve months? Clapton lends a lot of credence to the idea that "Music From Big Pink" by The Band opened his mind to a whole new "roots" sound. He wanted to get back to tight ensamble playing. It seems he wanted to capture a more understated and less in your face approach. And of course you can't argue with the man who brought us "Layla" and so many other great songs. Steve Winwood reformed Traffic, without Dave Mason and Ginger Baker went on to join the Airfore, Ginger Baker's Airforce of course.

    It's cleched I know but Blind Faith really cements where I was and what I was at nineteen years old in that oh so wonderful, magical, whacky world of the summer of '69. I'll forever regret not joining my friends who hitch hiked from New York to Providence, RI to see Blind Faith in concert. If I had only known that it was to be a once in a lifetime Experience.

    Blind Faith's self-titled debut would be the one and only release from what many rock fans and music industry insiders believed would be the band to take over where Cream left off. Containing 2/3 of Cream in Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton, the band also featured the talented Steve Winwood, who at age 20 already had made a name for himself with both the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic and had contributed significantly to Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland album. The quartet would be rounded out by the much less famous yet talented bassist Rick Grech. Although one would think that Blind Faith would continue in the heavy blues and psychedelic direction of Cream, the album explored a variety of genres, as though it appeared the band was trying to find their sound. Sadly, just a few months after the album's release, Blind Faith would be no more, making many to wonder what they could have been capable of if they stuck together.

    The album leads off with "Had to Cry Today", a hard rocker led by a great guitar riff and Winwood's soaring vocals. Baker's drumming remains as creative as ever, often sounding like a lead instrument. It's also here that you already see Clapton's solos becoming more innovative, developing from the fiery fast licks that he played in Cream to a more distinctive and introspective tone that would define his solo work. The folky "Can't Find My Way Home" is a classic with another great vocal from Winwood. The band's version of "Well All Right" is also very good, ending with a short killer jam highlighted by Winwood's fast piano runs. The other classic from this album is the spiritual "Presence of the Lord." A longtime staple on classic rock radio, it remains one of Clapton's finest compositions. Another great song is the underrated "Sea Of Joy", a haunting track which features strong drumming from Baker and a great violin solo from Grech. The only misstep on the album is the 15-minute "Do What You Like." The first 5 ½ minutes are awesome as Winwood lays down a very spooky organ solo while Clapton's slow burning solo is awesome. However, when Grech's bass solo comes in, the track loses all momentum and Baker's long drum solo, impressive as it is, drags on longer than necessary. If both of their solos were shaved down a couple minutes, the track would have worked. All told, while Blind Faith isn't quite on par with the best work of Winwood, Baker, or Clapton, it's a very good album that shows off their remarkable talents.

    Its like a blast from the past I first heard this while in college and I wore out the LP. Now I can relive those times with this cd.

    For a “thrown together” band, this albums Rocks..!
    Blind Faith might have survived if they had more songs for a second album. That’s the way it goes when some egos get in the way.

    What a super group this was, shame they only did the one album. That said it is a classic; Clapton, Baker, Windwood and Grech, there's some great performances her. Buy and enjoy.

    Die SHM SACD aus Japan klingt besser als andere CD Produkte von diesem Werk. Allerdings kann man
    teilweise den Eindruck gewinnen, dass einzelne Teilaspekte des Sounds neu abgemischt wurden.
    Auf jeden Fall profitieren hiervon die Bässe, das Schlagzeug und die Gitarre zum Teil erheblich. Die Stimmen klingen je nach Titel unterschiedlich. Das Werk selbst ist Klassiker und somit kann ich eine Besprechung mir ersparen. Insgesamt ein gutes Produkt, was man durchaus Empfehlen kann.
