#2572 Blood Sweat and Tears - Child is Father to the Man

A sweeping, grasping, emotional, rock album, flecked with funk, packed with big ambitions and big gestures that were way ahead of their time in 1968. Just don't buy the "jazz rock" label, adding horns and syncopating your rhythm section a bit doesn't earn you hybrid status. Rad bass parts though, and dig the complex song structures that trapdoor into more than you were expecting again and again 3.5/5
