Blind Faiths 1969 self titled album was their first and only album. The band was a supergroup that consisted of Eric Clapton (The Yardbirds,Cream), Ginger Baker (Graham Bond Organisation, Cream), Steve Winwood(Spencer Davis Group, Traffic) and Ric Grech(Family). What more could you want in a band? The album merges blues rock, psych rock and prog rock into one of the try great classic rock albums.
The album was famous before it even came out. There was a buzz behind the band and the album because of how famous all of the members were. The album was met with critical and billboard success. Rolling Stone reviewed the album by three of their top music critics, all having the album for it's mastery. The songs are heavy but very melodic and catchy.
The album art caused quite a stir because it shows a girl with exposed breasts. The girl appears to be pre-pubescent. It is a painting that was done by an art student and much controversy still surrounds the original cover. Becase of this, an alternate cover was issued
