Rediscovering Cold Blood

Big Cold Blood fan here although I wouldn't compare Lydia Pense to Janis Joplin. I never thought Janis (bless her heart) had such a great voice whereas Lydia....

Rummaging thru a used CD store a few yrs ago I came across a NEW (2005) Cold Blood recording called 'Transfusion'. Amazingly enough, Lydia STILL sounds great! As does the band. If you dig the sound of LP & Cold Blood I strongly recommend:

Sons of Champlin - 'Hip Li'l Dreams' Found this at the same shop! Also recorded in 2005 by a band that I hadn't heard since the '70's. Featuring founder Bill Champlin, one of the last great (IMO)blue-eyed soul-brothers.

Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns - 'When The Curtain Goes Up'. Great music by one of the best kept secrets in music!!

If ya can't get your goove thang goin' with these records it's 'cause you ain't got a groove thang!!;)

Thx for the head's up, I'll be on the lookout!

They are a smokin' unit, ain't they!? Their prior record is 'Live' and is killa also, allowing more room for soloing. The story behind this band is that they're made up primarily of pro musicians playing the strip in Vegas. They've 'held court' at a club on Monday nights for yrs(very much in the tradition of certain Monday night Big Bands in NYC). The shows are a very hot ticket with guests sitting in frequently. Haven't been to Vegas in a while BUT when I get there, I know I'll be checking 'em out!
