Blood, Chet And Tears (New LP)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Somewhat of an oddity in Chet Baker’s catalog, Blood, Chet & Tears is a record of his efforts to adapt to the changing musical landscape around him in 1970. Baker leans into light and easy-listening territory. His renditions of the Beatles’ “”Something”” and the Archies’ “”Sugar, Sugar”” gives some indication as to who he was intending to appeal to. On a different note, Baker’s rendition of “”Come Saturday Morning,”” a song that received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, is moving and highlights his unique vocal approach. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
