Classical Composer Reacts to BLIND FAITH: CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME | The Daily Doug (Episode 803)

#blindfaith #cantfindmywayhome

In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm releasing my first reaction to music by classic supergroup Blind Faith. This was recorded back in December of 2022 and has exclusively been on my Patreon ever since. Today, I think it's time to include their music here on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy!

🎶 Full album reactions and MUCH more on my Patreon! 🎶

Steve Winwood, what a musician and what a super group overall... great reaction Doug!

[lilsuzq]

Steve was about 20 or so when he wrote and performed Can't Find My Way Home. He's 76 now (2024) and still sounds the same!

[robm]

And don’t forget, Winwood was 19 when he joined Blind Faith. 19!!! and was already a music veteran by that point. He was a prodigy and had an amazing voice, unmatched in rock. Absolute legend!!

The vocal of Steve Winwood in "Sea of Joy" from this album is amazing! 🎼🙏

[michaelbell]

Drums were perfect Doug. Bought this album the day it came out. In the context of the time, those drums played with his hands according to info available, were the perfect foil to the acoustic guitars of Clapton and Winwood.

[Mister_Samsonite]

If I could sing at all, I'd want to sing like Steve Winwood. Such an amazingly talented man!

[DocThunderfoot]

The perfomance of this song of Steve and Eric at the Madison Square Garden published 2009 is one of the most beautiful moments in music history. Period. Gives me shivers every time.

[robertrowlandmusic]

The drums are placed perfectly to me. They do sound like they're being played in the next room, it's the style of the song.

[jamesanderson]

What a gorgeous voice Steve Winwood has and had since he was 15 years old.

[acb]

Great song, multitalented musician! One of my all time favorite vocalist. When you get a chance, check out SW playing an acoustic version of this song by a crackling fire, it was posted about 12 years ago, beautiful! Also, check out “Keep On Running” by the Spencer Davis Group (65), and “Empty Pages” by Traffic (70). ✌️

[edelcorrallira]

Let's go for the gold, Clapton, Baker and Windwood... Yup let's go for it!

[TK-fkpo]

Listen to the solo acoustic version Steve did within the last 10 years in front of a fireplace in the rain. Rain at his home in England using drop de tuning. With the crackling fireplace in the back. It’s absolute perfection.

The brilliance of STEVIEWINWOOD -made me want to play keyboards, singing a blues style like him -I tried to mimic him in my teens until I later learned to develop ‘my own voice’, in singing, keyboard playing and orig. songwriting -but till this day Steve remains my hero and number 1 musical influence [and I listen to allofhisprolific body of astonishing work to this

[hilmarkoerner]

was about to write that it's time for Traffic and see others mention them. Dear Mr. Fantasy and John Barleycorn (what a great album, thanks for reminding me as I'm listening to it again now).

[davidfont]

Try Prescence of the guitar playing at its best

[clansome]

BRILLIANT ALBUM. One of the first albums that I bought. Note that you have the censored US cover. The original UK cover was a little risque to say the least. The first of the Supergroups if I remember correctly, certainly the first British Supergroup.

[robm]

And Ginger Baker was the drummer: there’s never a crash out of place when Ginger was behind the kit.

[JeffreyTheTaylor]

To me the crash gives voice to underlying angst of the song. Yes, it is a slow lament but there is also some real fear and regret going on.

[Miwna]

Great stuff! Hope you'll do some of their other, longer, songs as well. Had to Cry Today and Do What You Like are highly recommended.

[haydensoltvedt]

Super good. I would recommend listening to David Bowie’s sweet thing/candidate/sweet thing live LA 74 cracked actor… THANK YOU!!! You’re awesome. Love your stuff
