Blood, Sweat & Tears - (Bloodlines Box Set) Child Is Father To The Man (2017) 1968





Child Is Father to the Man is keyboard player/singer/arranger Al Kooper’s finest work, an album on which he moves the folk-blues-rock amalgamation of the Blues Project into even wider pastures, taking in classical and jazz elements (including strings and horns), all without losing the pop essence that makes the hybrid work. This is one of the great albums of the eclectic post-Sgt. Pepper era of the late ’60s, a time when you could borrow styles from Greenwich Village contemporary folk to San Francisco acid rock and mix them into what seemed to have the potential to become a new American musical form. It’s Kooper’s bluesy songs, such as “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know” and “I Can’t Quit Her,” and his singing that are the primary focus, but the album is an aural delight; listen to the way the bass guitar interacts with the horns on “My Days Are Numbered” or the charming arrangement and Steve Katz’s vocal on Tim Buckley’s “Morning Glory.” Then Kooper sings Harry Nilsson’s “Without Her” over a delicate, jazzy backing with flügelhorn/alto saxophone interplay by Randy Brecker and Fred Lipsius. This is the sound of a group of virtuosos enjoying itself in the newly open possibilities of pop music. Maybe it couldn’t have lasted; anyway, it didn’t.

Blood, Sweat & Tears - (Bloodlines Box Set) Blood, Sweat & Tears (2017) 1968





Their finest moment and a testimony to the best of the jazz/rock movement. Created by the legendary Al Kooper, the band was one of the major attractions throughout 1969. The album is bold, brassy and adventurous. Interpretations of Eric Satie music are followed by Traffic’s “Smiling Phases.” Hit singles galore were culled from this record–“Spinning Wheel,” “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy,” and “And When I Die,”–not to forget a superb rendition of Billie Holiday’s “God Bless The Child.” Sadly BST and their magnificent early catalogue has fallen from favour. And where is the superb voice of David Clayton-Thomas to be found today?

1. Variations On A Theme By Erik Satie (1st and 2nd Movements – Adapted from ‘Trois Gymnopedies’) 02:34
2. Smiling Phases 05:10

Blood, Sweat & Tears - (Bloodlines Box Set) 3 (2017) 1970





Blood, Sweat & Tears had a hard act to follow in recording their third album. Nevertheless, BS&T constructed a convincing, if not quite as impressive, companion to their previous hit. David Clayton-Thomas remained an enthusiastic blues shouter, and the band still managed to put together lively arrangements, especially on the Top 40 hits “Hi-De-Ho” and “Lucretia Mac Evil.” Elsewhere, they re-created the previous album’s jazzing up of Laura Nyro (“He’s a Runner”) and Traffic (“40,000 Headmen”), although their pretentiousness, on the extended “Symphony/Sympathy for the Devil,” and their tendency to borrow other artists’ better-known material (James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”) rather than generating more of their own, were warning signs for the future. In the meantime, BS&T 3 was another chart-topping gold hit.

1. Hi-De-Ho 04:27
2. The Battle 02:46
3. Lucretia MacEvil 03:04
4. Lucretia’s Reprise 02:36

7. Symphony For the Devil/Sympathy For the Devil 07:53

10. 40,000 Headmen 04:46




Blood, Sweat & Tears - (Bloodlines Box Set) 4 (2017) 1971





Having relied largely on outside songwriting for its last two wildly successful albums, Blood, Sweat & Tears decided (as many groups had before) to bring some of that song publishing income into the family by writing their own material. Singer David Clayton-Thomas contributed the Top 40 hit “Go Down Gamblin’,” and he and keyboard player Dick Halligan collaborated on another chart entry, “Lisa, Listen to Me.” Ex-bandleader Al Kooper even contributed a track, “John the Baptist (Holy John).” But Side two was given over largely to songs by guitarist Steve Katz that were substandard, and the band’s cohesion seemed to be disintegrating. Although the album scraped the Top Ten briefly and went gold, it marked the end of BS&T’s period of wide commercial success on records. By the next outing, Clayton-Thomas had quit and the band’s heyday was behind it.

1. Go Down Gamblin’ 04:17
2. Cowboys And Indians 03:11
