Blind Faith

No, I'm not talking spirituality, but a great album from 1969 - yes, that's right, 30 years ago - three decades in other words. The group had one album titled, "Blind Faith." Is that original or what? Group members: Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, and Ginger Baker. Best tracks: all of them. Listen to this one loud, very loud; it's a 35 minute time machine. The first time I ever laid eyes on this recording it was laying on the dashboard of a 1969 AMC Rambler American SC/Rambler that had a 390 V8 and a Hurst T-handle shifter. Sweet stuff. The format was 8-track stereo and the player was a factory install. How much better can things get?
