Clayton-Thomas revisits the music of his youth on Blue Plate Special, his first all-blues effort; in addition to a pallid remake of the Blood, Sweat and Tears hit "Lucretia MacEvil," he also tackles songs by Willie Dixon, Freddie King and Albert Collins.
David Clayton-Thomas fronted Blood, Sweat & Tears during their popular peak, singing the hits "You've Made Me So Very Happy," "And When I Die," "Hi-De-Ho," and his composition "Spinning Wheel." The latter suggested the musical ambitions he harbored and after the group's hot streak cooled in 1972, he set out on a solo career that he quickly put on ice so he could return to the group in 1975…

Clayton-Thomas’ new album, Mobius is an ambitious work that sees the former Blood, Sweet &Tears' frontman wearing a variety of musical hats. Co-produced with his long-time compadre and musical director George Koller, Mobius takes the listener on a stylistic journey, with Clayton-Thomas’ iconic voice serving as the star around which the songs revolve. Mobius is a stunning collection of songs, with Clayton-Thomas collaborating on writing with each of his four band members. With a lineup that includes drummer Larnell Lewis, keyboardist Lou Pomanti, guitarist Eric St-Laurent, and Koller on bass, the songs are well served by the incredible talent of these musicians.
