Catalog Number: 6568952 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 0602465689525 Somewhat of an oddity in Chet Baker's catalogue, Blood, Chet and Tears is a record of Chet's 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.
