At a recent BS&T concert,
I asked David Clayton-Thomas about this record, and he told me that it
was a fraud. Apparently about the time that BS&T was becoming
popular, after the second album was released, a producer scoured Canada
for unreleased Clayton-Thomas tracks and dubbed over them with a horn section,
thus making them sound like Blood, Sweat, and Tears. I still like
the album, checkered past and all, but that's an interesting tidbit of
information.

I found this on 8-track and
vinyl, and I love it. DCT's vocals are strong and rich, and the songs
are a selection of some of the coolest blues songs out there. His
takes on "Tobacco Road," and John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" are incredible.
He's backed by a ripping horn section as well...excellent album.
