Short-lived classic-rock supergroup Blind Faith's sole album (1969) has aged remarkably well. Blind Faith fused the psychedelic blues of Eric Clapton and the soulful vocals and keyboards of Steve Winwood with the polyrhythmic, Afrocentric leanings of drummer Ginger Baker. "Can't Find My Way Home" is easily one of the hippie era's most lyrically poignant, sonically subtle tunes. The record has a lot of surprises; "Presence of the Lord" is rousing and melancholy at the same time, while the way the bass and guitar double-team on the introductory melodic line to "Had to Cry Today" makes a hard-rock cliché fresh again. The 10-minute drum solo on "Do What You Like" is pretty good as 10-minute drum solos go; Blind Faith is not a purchase for the jam-shy, especially in its present, bloated form, which adds almost an hour and a half of unreleased jams and mixes. And while surely there are levitational moments within the five 12-to-16-minute improv sections included here, the excess (and lack of great material; remember that this band was only together a few months) grows tiresome. One notable exception is the "Change of Address Jam," excerpts from which were pressed up as a record label change-of-address announcement back in the day. It's got a pleasant, near-swinging, Graham Bond/Booker T on Quaaludes vibe, with Winwood's keyboards rollicking nicely in a manner recalling his work on Electric Ladyland. The rest of disc two is for wank aficionados and completists only.
乐评:
《Blind Faith: Deluxe Edition》向我们展示了两项摇滚的传统。第一,出专辑的是一支超级乐队,全明星乐队,它的成员全都来自已经蜚声乐坛的乐队,--他们是Cream的吉他手Eric Clapton和鼓手Ginger Baker,还有歌手/键盘手/吉他手Steve Winwood(Traffic)。这支乐队出现在1969年的夏天,和Crosby, Stills & Nash正是一个时候,虽然当时后者的宣传要比前者小得多,却在最终取得了更大的成功。第二项传统:在华丽的新瓶里装的是旧酒-重新发行了Blind Faith最初的六首歌专辑,再加上4首额外奉送,就成了一张长达73分钟的新专辑,也没少了从最初美国版唱片上扒下来的那张有争议的照片(一个穿袒胸衣的未发育女孩)。
即使这么多年过去了,有些看法还是无法改变。Blind Faith在这个地球上存在了仅仅6个月-他们在一次构想拙劣的巡演后解散,他们的唱片也正和这支乐队的全程一样糟糕。Blind Faith是一支草率成立的乐队,无论是与Cream还是Traffic相比,它都显得如此苍白。Windwood是所有歌曲的主唱(这在情理之中),而Clapton这把主音吉他却似乎在有意回避那时已让他成名的激进风格。当时的Clapton刚把Gibson换成了Fender,“Sunshine of Your Love(你的爱情阳光)”里含糊不清的女性音色换成了高声尖叫,这在后来进化成了“Layla”,但在Blind Faith这个时期,转折点上的Clapton用Fender弄出的声音却是滑稽可笑。另外,Baker和Rick Grech控制下的节奏实在令人不敢恭维。
就这样一支乐队,他们的声音在当时就已经过时,更别提现在。不过,这其中还是有一支不朽的歌曲:原声民谣“Can’t Find My Way Home(找不到我回家的路)”,那里有Winwood的沉思。这首歌曲在新发行专辑中作为额外奉送的电声版再一次证明了没被选做发行的总是比选上的要差。Clapton的“Presence of the Lord(上帝的存在)”有着整张唱片里最低沉的吉他solo。最有独创性的groove是基于爵士化的“Do What You Like(做你喜欢的事)”,这个15分长的jam为这张专辑做了不小的贡献。
唱片里出现的新东西是一支最初没有收录的歌曲“Sleeping in the Ground(在地上睡觉)”的两个版本(慢布鲁斯版和快节奏版),和一个“原声Jam”-从中可以看到Winwood试图在和音上做些变化,在后来这些变化被他带到重组后Traffic的那首“The Low Spark of High Heeled Boy”。类似的,“Time Winds(时间上发条)”中的东西在Traffic的“Empty Pages(空空的页面)”里也可以看到试图在和音上做些改变,在后来这些变化被他带到重组后Traffic的那首“The Low Spark of High Heeled Boy”。类似的,“Time Winds(时间上发条)”中的东西在Traffic的“Empty Pages(空空的页面)”里也可以看到。在另外的四个jam里,他们这四个人就像在进行傻子狂欢节,把Bob Diddley和John Lee Hooker常用的那几个和弦翻来覆去的折腾,没完没了。如果不想在听唱片的时候打瞌睡,你就得来杯浓浓的咖啡,或者干脆拿起样乐器加入这支短命的队伍。
