Chet Baker
Blood, Chet And Tears (Verve By Request)
verve
Somewhat of an oddity in Chet Baker’s catalogue, 'Blood, Chet & 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.
