Originally a brainchild of Al Kooper, Blood Sweat and Tears was one of those hybrids that could have only evolved in the experiment happy late 60's. Welding a big band brass to rock sensibilities, BS&T hit their stride once they found a singer whose voice was a brassy as their horn section. Canadian David Clayton-Thomas brought in a soul-full force that made singles like "Spinning Wheel" and "You Made Me So Very Happy" into classics.Clayton-Thomas also brought solid songs to the band, as the writer of four of the main hits here. But BS&T were also eclectic enough to search outside the box; their cover of Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child" stands among their best work. Among the non-hits, both Steve Katz' "Sometimes In Winter" and Kooper's "I Can't Quit Her" are superb. Still, all this would be less interesting without the rotating stable of players' musicianship. These guys had chops to burn, with the soul of "Hi De Ho" (a Carole King/Gerry Goffin song) and Laura Nyro's "And When I Die" working their turf perfectly, and the horns on "Lucretia Mac Evil" having the punch of electric guitars. Even though some of the songs are the single edits (missing the carousel breakdown at the end of "Spinning Wheel" is disappointing), these are still landmark songs, and a style that would soon become omnipresent from every from The Best Of Chicago to Brian Setzer.
