Definitive Collection

by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Overview

This CD is a bit difficult to evaluate because it is so strange (and, at times, cheesy) in its design. The 72-minute disc is devoted to David Clayton-Thomas' tenure with the group, containing 17 songs covering the best-known tracks from their second album, Blood, Sweat & Tears, right up through their 1976 rendition of "Got to Get You into My Life" and beyond, up as far as "Katie Bell" and "Sweet Sadie the Savior" several membership changes later. A two-disc edition of this set is also available that focuses on the band's first album with Al Kooper at the helm. ~ Bruce Eder & Al Campbell
