Blood, Chet & Tears is an oddball in Chet Baker's catalog: the album chronicles Chet's efforts to adapt to the changing musical landscape around him in 1970. Baker leans on the easy listening genre, as heard in his renditions of the Beatles' "Something" and the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar." Baker's rendition of "Come Saturday Morning," which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song, reveals a different side of the musician, highlighting his unique vocal approach.
