Cold Blood - Thriller!

Thriller!, El cuarto album de Cold Blood, es una continuación de sus chidos metales funky con un buen de R&B de los anteriores discos. Pero en contraste no hay mucho material original. Una de las mas grandes diferencias entre Cold Blood y sus contemporáneos de la bahía, como Tower of Power, era la vocalista Lydia Pense (muy original), que había desarrollado un estilo no solo el del simple cantar del blues a la Janis, sino desarrolló un estilo hasta convertirse en una interprete singular por meritos propios. Un ejemplo es la facilidad con la que cubre el cover de Stevie Wonder 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life', que también tiene una de las partes de metales mas finas. También se puede decir lo mismo de la rola 'Sleeping', dejandola con el mismo carisma de la canción original. Cold Blood contrastó esas rolas tranquilas con algunas fuertes y bien funkys, como 'Baby I Love You', y 'Kissing My Love', que nos hacen sentir como si estuvieramos escuchando su primer album. Otra cosa notable es el órgano Hammond de Raul Matute en el blues clásico 'Feel So Bad', muy similar al original de Ray Charles.

Thriller!, Cold Blood's fourth LP, is a continuation on the brass-intensive funky R&B that drove their previous efforts. In contrast to those discs, however, there is very little in the way of original material here. One of the primary distinctions between Cold Blood and their Bay Area contemporaries the Tower of Power is lead vocalist Lydia Pense. She has developed from simply belting out the blues, à la Janis Joplin, to becoming an increasingly sensitive lyrical interpreter without diminishing her prowess or guttural growl. One prime example is her ease and agility on the cover of Stevie Wonder's 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life', which likewise includes some of the finest and most tasteful contributions from the horn section. The same can also be said of their cover of the Band's 'Sleeping', retaining much of the same charm as the original. Cold Blood contrasts the mellow with a few loud funkified fusion numbers, such as the lead track, 'Baby I Love You', and 'Kissing My Love', which hearkens directly back to the double-jointed rhythms found in the band's eponymously titled debut album. Another highlight is Raul Matute's Hammond-organ on the classic blues 'Feel So Bad', which is similar to Ray Charles' original reading.
Enjoy it!
