Blind Faith - Blind Faith download mp3 album

Blind Faith is the self-titled and only album by the English supergroup Blind Faith, originally released in 1969 on Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and Europe and on Atlantic Records in the United States. It topped the album charts in the UK, Canada and US, and was listed at No. 40 on the US Soul Albums chart. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA.
Blind Faith's first and last album, more than 30 years old and counting, 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.
It was a combination of four talented and experienced musicians. It included the fantastic Eric Clapton, who was famous for his Blues/Rock playing with John Mayall, The Yard Birds, and Cream. He also never managed to stay with those bands for a decent amount of time. Blind Faith also included the very intelligent drumming of Ginger Baker . I give this album a 5/5 for the reason that the band explores so many different genres and playing techniques in one album.
Blind Faith is the self-titled album by the English supergroup Blind Faith, which consisted of Eric Clapton (The Yardbirds, Cream), Ginger Baker (Graham Bond Organisation, Cream), Steve Winwood (Spencer Davis Group, Traffic) and Ric Grech (Family). There was an intense buzz about the band and its debut album Blind Faith, which on release topped Billboard's Pop Albums chart in America (as it did the UK and Canadian charts) and peaked at on the Black Albums chart, an impressive feat for an English rock quartet.
The image, titled "Blind Faith" by Seidemann, became the inspiration for the name of the band itself, which had been unnamed when the artwork was commissioned. According to Seidemann: "It was Eric who elected to not print the name of the band on the cover, the name was instead printed on the wrapper, when the wrapper came off, so did the type. On a list by Rolling Stone of "The 30 Greatest One Album Wonders", Blind Faith was at 14, while songs such as "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Presence of the Lord" were described as "incredible".
