4.0 out of 5 stars
great promise; too rushed,
This review is from: Blind Faith (Audio CD)
The promise of this "supergroup" was never fully realized. Under tremendous pressure to produce an album, they actually produced five really good songs and almost one whole side (LP jargon there) of filler in "Do What You Like." Considering the strength of the rest of the album, this obvious filler seemed like a slap in the face then, and seems even more so today. That's too bad. If they had been given the time to write and produce an entire album's worth of quality material, this album might have the same weight in Clapton's cannon as Layla. And that's really saying something.

A Real Treat from the best days of Rock!,
By
This review is from: Blind Faith (Audio CD)
I don't like to diss other people, but for a 30 year old to say that Ginger Baker drags the rest of the band down, due to his leaden drumming technique, I'm sorry, you don't know the first thing about the quality of such performers. This was the height of these performers abilities. Fresh, vibrant virtuosity considering their age. Maybe not on par with Mozart in terms of prodigy, but still right up there on the top rung of thier era. It would be the same as myself criticizing Oscar Peterson (whom my uncles played with as kids, in Montreal, LONG before I was born) of being an amateur who didn't really know his chops. I'd be a laughing stock, and rightly so.Blind Faith is like buying an album by Cream, only with a different set of musicians of equal ability. I was a young teenager when this album came out. I grew up with it, and taught myself to play guitar from this genre of music. If you're into the best of the oldies of the Rock era, you won't find much better.

Well Alright!,
By WILLIE A YOUNG II "willow" (Houston, TX.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blind Faith (Audio CD)
This 1969 gem still sounds fresh, lively and fun today! Steve Winwood (what was he 21?) is in terrific voice throughout and delivers the lovely "Can't Find My Way Home" with a gentleness and poignancy that just makes you ache. The bluesy, rousing opener "Had To Cry Today" is built on one of the catchiest, heaviest rock riffs ever recorded and is guaranteed to stick in your head eternally once you've heard it. The interaction of these four brilliant musicians is remarkable and makes me wish this sort of rampant, bold experimentation was still found in pop music today. Though this "supergroup" was initially brought together as a marketing ploy, the music they produced is stunning. Throughout this jam-filled one time outing, the freedom and joy these men feel is evident. The almost 14 minute closer "Do What You Like", is a Ginger Baker masterpiece and finds the band stretching out to stunning effect. His drum solo and Rick Grech's bass solo are the highlights on this spacey, jazzy jam! For an album released 32 years ago, "BLIND FAITH" hasn't aged a day. Any lover of classic rock should own this.Essential and Enjoyable.
