About this album

B, S & T 4 finds Blood, Sweat And Tears tightening their brass-led rock into a leaner, tougher form. Issued in 1971, the album followed the group’s breakthrough success and showed how well they could balance rock muscle, soul inflection and jazz-leaning arrangement without losing commercial bite. Lead single Go Down Gamblin’ set the tone with its punchy rhythm and horn lines, while songs such as Take Me in Your Arms and For My Lady underline the band’s knack for combining polished songwriting with a distinctive big-band attack. It is a strong statement from a group that helped define the jazz-rock crossover of the era.
