About this album

Blood, Sweat & Tears 3 is a confident continuation of the band’s jazz-rock formula, balancing punchy brass arrangements with blues, pop and folk material. Issued in 1970, it followed the group’s breakthrough success and kept their crossover appeal alive with the hit “Hi-De-Ho”, while also revisiting and reshaping songs such as Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” and James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”. The album shows the ensemble’s tight musicianship under producer Roy Halee, with elaborate horn charts and polished studio craft giving the record broad commercial reach. It is one of the key documents of early 1970s fusion-minded rock.
