Can’t Find My Way Home

CAN’T FIND MY WAY HOME
 
 
“Can’t Find My Way Home”  is a song written by Steve Winwood which was first released by Blind Faith on their 1969 album Blind Faith.  Rolling Stone, in a review of the album, noted that the song featured “Ginger Baker’s highly innovative percussion” and judged the lyric “And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home” to be “delightful”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

There was a great deal of buzz associated with the Blind Faith album (mainly due to its Cream connections, at least in the U.S.), but there is every indication that it was rushed to the market.  There are only six songs on the album, one of them a Buddy Holly song, “Well All Right”; one of the tracks, “Do What You Like” is a 15-minute jam.  Still, the quartet created a great album by any measure:  “Sea of Joy” and “Presence of the Lord” are classic rock songs without question, and the two opening tracks, “Had to Cry Today” and “Can’t Find My Way Home” are every bit as good.  Eventually I will have to pick up the 2001 deluxe edition, which includes 9 bonus tracks.
