The Profile

Blind Faith was a British rock supergroup formed in 1969 featuring Eric Clapton, Steve (Stevie) Winwood, Ginger Baker and Ric Grech. They released one self-titled studio album (1969) and were short-lived but influential.

Formed after the breakups of Cream and (for Winwood) a pause from Traffic; members credited in reviews and public sources include Eric Clapton (guitar), Steve/Stevie Winwood (vocals/keyboards), Ginger Baker (drums) and Ric Grech (bass/violin). The 1969 self-titled album contains notable tracks repeatedly cited in reviews: "Had To Cry Today", "I Can't Find My Way Home", "Presence Of The Lord", "Sea Of Joy", and the extended "Do What You Like". The group toured briefly in 1969 and dissolved within the same year.

Two enthusiastic DeBaser reviews praise Blind Faith's 1969 self-titled album, highlighting songwriting by Steve Winwood and guitar by Eric Clapton. The record is presented as a short-lived but sublime example of late-60s rock/blues fusion. Standout tracks frequently mentioned include "I Can't Find My Way Home", "Had To Cry Today" and "Sea Of Joy".

Notable Quotes

❝ this album has inexorably won me over and continues to enchant me like few others can...

❝ the group lasted about six months, which says a lot about how possible it is for musicians with such strong personalities to really coexist, but in those six months they gave birth to a jewel of inestimable value which is this album!
