...come unawares to a new LP called Blood, Sweat & Tears may be as confused as the blind men discovering an elephant in the familiar folk parable. One blind man feels the elephant's leg and says that.the beast is a pillar; another feels the tuft of its tail and declares the elephant to be a broom, and so on.
