Touched By An Angel
Thomas M. O'Hara | East Bay - San Francisco | 01/03/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"An angel noticed me bidding for a used vinyl copy of First Taste of Sin on-line and alerted me to the fact that I could buy the CD here.Thank you! When it arrived, it immediately took it to my car, went for a drive, and put on Valdez In The Country loud! Fantastic! Needless to say, the sound quality far exceeded the 8-track in my '70 El Camino.I've been a ColdBlood fan for 30 years. First Taste of Sin was my favorite album, and I'm thrilled it's available again. This was one of the hardest working bands of the Fillmore era, and deserved far more notice and acclaim than it received. Anyone who enjoys rock and blues with horns should check out ColdBlood - for the big sound, the tight horn arrangements - and most of all frontwoman Lydia Pense.Nine excellent cuts here - but what sold me was the instrumental Valdez - somehow left off the great Best Of ColdBlood compilation. Five stars and well worth the import price tag!"

"These guys are so over the top, outragously great it's unbelievable that they don't (didn't) get more respect. Their first two albums Cold Blood & Sisyphus where even better. As a musician I can testify that the people in Cold Blood are musician's musicians. Buy everything they recorded including vinyl if you have to. They do play in the Bay area & Northwest. I saw them 2 years ago in Portland at one of the outdoor festivals. THEY WERE EXCELLENT!"
One fine band

"I began buying Cold Blood albums as soon as I heard "I'm a Good Woman". Rumor in the early 70's was that lead singer, Lydia Pense, trained her voice with Aretha. Don't know if it's true, but she could wail. The previous reviewer is quite correct, the first and second albums were dynamite."
