The difference between Blood, Sweat & Tears and the group's preceding long-player, Child Is Father to the Man, is the difference between a monumental seller and a record that was "merely" a huge critical success. Arguably, the Blood, Sweat & Tears that made this self-titled second album consisting of five of the eight original members and four newcomers, including singer David Clayton Thomas was really a different group from the one that made Child Is Father to the Man, which was done largely under the direction of singer / songwriter / keyboard player / arranger Al Kooper.
