“"Child Is Father to the Man" is a song cycle complete with orchestral overture and tongue in cheek "underture." Kooper was right about adding a brass section. Songs like "I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", "I Can't Quit Her" and "My Days are Numbered" in hindsight are unimaginable without the horn arrangements done by alto sax player Fred Lipsius and Kooper. A lot of the horn arrangements are profoundly influenced by the post-beat era big bands like Maynard Ferguson Big Band and the Mingus Big Band.

The music was a fully realized compendium of a lot of Kooper's ideas with the Blues Project: jazz fusion, contemporary rhythm and blues, urban folk and blues. Katz's tasteful use of a fuzz tone on much of his guitar sounded like some of the psychedelic music coming out of San Francisco in that era.

All of the songs were recorded in one take and Kooper sang the songs with passion he rarely summoned for his vocals with the Blues Project. Critics of Kooper frequently comment on his tendency to overreach both on his vocals and the scope of his musical ambitions, but on his Blood Sweat and Tears sessions Kooper succeeds by restraining himself from overindulgence.

It was uber-producer John Simon's brilliant work on the post session work that made "Child Is the Father to the Man" a rare jewel. Simon added orchestral string arrangements to the scratch tapes from the session and gave the album a unique baroque feel. The result unlike any other popular music recorded in that era.

Unfortunately, shortly after the 1968 release of "Child Is the Father to the Man" guitarist Katz and drummer Bobby Colomby engineered a coup resulting in Al Kooper's departure from Blood Sweat and Tears. Colomby and Katz added vocalist David Clayton Thomas and achieved a phenomenal mainstream breakthrough on their second album. Beneath the sheen of the brassy arrangements the "new" BS&T began to sound like a "by-the-numbers" collection of studio players working from a template.

BS&T floundered for lack of direction, without the passionately opinionated Kooper at the helm. By the early 1970s, BS&T had evolved into just another Middle-Of- Road formula band with Thomas as a front-man. "Child Is the Father to the Man" stands as a stark counterpoint to the post-Kooper, direction of BS&T. One wonders what BS&T could have accomplished, had the band remained under the leadership of Al Kooper's bold, experimental and often eccentric vision.

Bless you! Not only was this an amazing album in its own right but Kooper's vision of where to take Rock 'n Roll rivaled the Beatles.

BS&T with David Clayton-Thomas was just a bad joke.
