This week we discuss Blind Faith’s one and only album. Formed by Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton joined Blind Faith after the demise of Cream. Much to his horror, Cream’s madman drummer, Ginger Baker, crashed their rehearsal and joined the band. Incredible lineup, but Mike and Alex disagree quite a bit about the album itself. We dive into everything about this band, including the disturbing cover art of their record.

This week we discuss the legendary Cream. These guys were intense. Not only are they widely regarded as the first supergroup ever (made up of Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker), they also set the standard for giant, arena rock bands. However, not everything of theirs holds up that well, meaning Alex and Mike are certainly going to get some death threats from this episode. At the very least, listen for all the insane Ginger Baker stories. They will not disappoint you.
Closing track: “Deserted Cities of the Heart” from Wheels of Fire (1968)
