COLD BLOOD
A San Francisco-based R&B band originally formed by guitarist Larry Field as the "New Invaders"
in the wake of the Summer of Love, Cold Blood had the key elements of strong female vocalist, a fine guitarist,
and a powerful horn section. After successful gigs at Golden Gate Park and at the Fillmore,
they were signed by impresario Bill Graham to his new San Francisco Records label,
on which they released their self-titled debut in 1969

RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Their 1969 self-titled debut -- although somewhat contained in comparison to their live
shows -- is a good representation of their soulful, horn-driven funk. One of the major
reasons for the band's success is the unadulterated and otherwise raw vocal style of Lydia Pense.
The album features a mixture of dramatic ballads -- such as the medley of "I'm a Good Woman"
and "Let Me Down Easy" -- as well as full-blown R&B rave-ups on the cover of Sam & Dave's
"You Got Me Hummin'" or their freewheeling version of "I Just Want to Make Love To You."
Keyboardist Raul Matute's contribution, "If You Will," is a perfect vehicle for Pense's
vocals as it glides between licks from lead guitarist Larry Fields and the five-piece brass section.
Inevitable comparisons have been made between Pense, Janis Joplin, and Lynn Hughes --
of another San Fran rock and soul combo, Stoneground. However, there is a smoky
scintillation to Pense's approach -- particularly potent on the gospel-tinged opener,
"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" -- that is downplayed
or altogether lacking from her contemporaries...(AllMusic)
