Free Music Review: Blood Sweat and Tears - Greatest Hits
Hit: 5 Stars
OK I admit to having been a fan of BST since the early 70s and it is wonderful to be able to obtain their albums again on CD instead of the old scratched vinyls that I have. The voice of David Clayton-Thomas soars amidst the totally inventive horn section and the band was, to my mind at least, the most powerful and musically innovative outfit of their decade. How I wish they had recorded much much more !Free Music Review: Greatest hit's

Me encanta su música, pero en algún momento cambian de ritmo, del clasico al estruendo, pero en general es bueno.Free Music Review: BRING BACK AL KOOPER

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS WAS HIP WHEN THEY HAD AL KOOPER. JOHN CLATON THOMAS MAY HAVE A MORE COMMERCIALLY PALATABLE SOUND BUT THE GROUP WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES WITH AL KOOPER. YES, I KNOW THIS IS VERY OLD NEWS.Free Music Review: Big Band Rock When It Wasn't An Oxymoron

"What goes up...must come down," so the song says, and with Blood Sweat and Tears an era of jazz-rock fusion did both. These songs were standards in 1969 -- three hit #2 on the charts -- and introduced a new rock and roll style that Chicago softened and rolled into a hit-making machine throughout the 70s. Lead singer David Clayton-Thomas rips through his material with a preacher's passion, especially Laura Nyro's "And When I Die," his own "Spinning Wheel," "Lucretia McEvil," and "Lisa, Listen to Me." But it's "Sometimes In Winter" and the two songs from the first, non-Clayton-Thomas album, "I Can't Quit Her," and "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know," that show how progressive this music was and could've been under original leader Al Kooper. Even so, this is an excellent sampler from a group which sincerely tried to bridge two generations of music.

BS&T hits are best heard in their shorter radio edit versions that expurgate the jazzy interludes that sound nothing like the rest of the songs.That being said, and the outstanding remastering job, and the inclusion of three worth while bonus tracks (So Long Dixie, More and More) makes this four star greatest hits a five star purchase.
It's for those who don't want the overblown What Goes Up, and only want to limit their quantity of BS&T to one CD!
Buy this and it will make you so very happy!
