This is Jimmy Carter's first solo album, teaming up with song writer, producer and performer Ron Pullman. Together, Jimmy and Ron have created a musical masterpiece by pulling from Jimmy's musical roots and the many genres that Jimmy is passionate about, while keeping a Gospel message in all the songs. Jimmy and Ron called on many of their friends such as Charlie Musselwhite, Alan Parsons, The Mendelson Choir of Pittsburgh, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, just to name a few, to record on "Blind Faith". Jimmy's vocals are masterfully performed from 80 years of singing for his millions of fans. "This is a beautifully performed, written, and produced piece of musical history. "Not only is Jimmy Carter a great singer and entertainer, he's always deep...as deep as it gets... so deep he'll stir your heart and soul." -- Charlie Musselwhite
