Blind Faith is the eponymous debut and sole album of the
British blues supergroup Blind Faith, which consisted of
Eric Clapton,
Ginger Baker and
Steve Winwood.
Blind Faith was released in July of
1969 (see
1969 in music). Stylistically similar to the bands of which its members began their professional careers in,
Traffic and
Cream,
Blind Faith is a pioneering fusion of
rock and roll with the
blues and an early innovative recording in the development of
heavy metal.
On the Billboard Music Charts, Blind Faith topped the Pop Albums chart and peaked at #40 on the Black Albums chart. In 1977, Blind Faith recharted on the Pop Albums chart, peaking at #126.
