Blind Faith is the singular self-titled album from the British supergroup Blind Faith. Comprising Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech, the band was formed after the breakups of Cream and Traffic - both prominent bands of the late 60s.
The album was released on August 1969, by Polydor Records in the United Kingdom, and on the same month in the United States through Atco Records. It peaked at number 1 in the UK and US album charts and was met with positive reception both critically and commercially. Interestingly, despite the success of their sole album, the band was short-lived and only remained active for less than a year in 1969.
The album consists of six tracks, with the most well-known being "Can't Find My Way Home". It is musically characterized by a blend of blues, jazz, and rock, with several songs extending into lengthy jams—a testament to the band members' roots in Cream and Traffic.
The album's original cover art stirred controversy due to its provocative image of a young girl, leading to its replacement in some countries with an alternative cover featuring a black and white photo of the band. Despite the controversy, the album is widely considered to be a classic example of British rock, demonstrating the incredible talent and musicianship of its members.
