CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME

"Cant Find My Way Home" is a song written by Steve Winwood and first published in 1969. Eric Clapton was in those days the "God" of guitar playing and had just split up with the "supergroup" CREAM because of fights among its members. Clapton met Steve Winwood and they started writing songs, so Winwood dissolved his band, TRAFFIC, to form together BLIND FAITH. They recorded just one album, also called "Blind Faith", which is - just like everything Clapton and Winwood were doing in those times - key to the introduction of blues-based music in Europe (and in America for that matter), and to the development of modern music. Not as well known to the general public (at least in Spain) as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton is a key figure in the history of modern music, as he has always been in love with American "roots" music, especially Blues, and has used it as the basis for his own musical production, making a huge contribution to the development of Rock and Blues throughout his life.
In this live version you can see Winwood and Clapton reunited for a performance of this beautiful song at the "Crossroads" festival in 2007. A the back you'll be able to see two guitar heroes of more recent times: Derek Trucks, a master of slide guitar, and Doyle Bramhall. Enjoy it.
