Cold Blood - Vintage Blood (Live! 1973)(USA Funk/R&B)

Kikas envia:
A quien no le gusta los Cold Blood??
Eh?? Eh??
Imposible no gustar de esta voz tan poderosa como es la voz de Lydia Pense.
A este disco, no lo he visto nunca en la red ... para quien gusta de "temazos" bien marchantes y mejor tocados, nada mejor que este grupazo ... funky, soul, r&b, en fin, una gozada.

Pillado de AMG :
Cold Blood was on the verge of a musical breakthrough during the early '70s, but the band's inability to write compelling original material or expand their range beyond high-octane, horn-dominated R&B relegated them to second-tier status.
The band was at their best on-stage, but curiously never released a live album until this release 30 years past their heyday.
Vintage Blood Live! 1973 catches the band at their funkified norm.
Recorded at a studio before a small but appreciative audience, this performance emphasizes the groove.
Cold Blood hits it quickly and stays there for long stretches, submerging beneath Lydia Pense's powerful R&B voice.
Pense, keyboard player Raul Matute, and bassist Rod Ellicott were the only original members remaining in the band.
The three-man horn session was filled with newcomers who acquit themselves well.
The sound quality is outstanding, and the performances are right on the mark, except for one detour into gospel that falls flat.
Cold Blood is stronger when they delve into secular treats such as "Funky on My Back".
Followers of the band will enjoy this material.
Listeners curious about early-'70s hard rhythm & blues will receive an informative, enjoyable lesson here.
Dig Music is a small Sacramento-based label that specializes in releases by Northern California artists of the '60s and '70s, such as the Beau Brummels and Stoneground.
