Blind Faith

Blind Faith is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Traffic, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Cream, Family and Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Those roots explain a lot about how Blind Faith arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Traffic, Derek and the Dominos, Cream, Eric Clapton and Free, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Los Lonely Boys, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Derek and the Dominos, Plastic Ono Band and Achtung Baby, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Blind Faith, reaching back through Traffic and forward to Los Lonely Boys. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Blind Faith were an English rock supergroup that consisted of Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech. They followed the success of the members' former bands, including Clapton and Baker's former group Cream and Winwood's former group Traffic, but they split after a few months, producing only one album and a three-month summer tour.
