Blind Faith reunion rumor
on 2006/10/20 18:10:00 (2728 reads)
Nothing's been confirmed yet, but it looks like Eric Clapton is following up last year's Cream reunion with a Blind Faith run. We have learned that Clapton and Steve Winwood are planning to resurrect the supergroup, which released a single, self-titled album and did one tour in 1969 before breaking up. There's no word yet on when the two will officially announce their plans, and it's unknown whether Ginger Baker will man the drumkit for the project. Blind Faith bassist Rick Grech died in 1990.

Clapton said his desire to play with Winwood began during the Cream days: "If I'd had more power of personality and more authority, I would have insisted that we had a keyboard player, and I would've chosen Steve. I mean, it kept being a fantasy of mine that Steve would join Cream, but I just didn't feel confident enough to broach the subject. Maybe I did a couple of times, but I think I, maybe I was, it was discounted."
