Nuclear Blues is an album by the bandBlood, Sweat & Tears, released in 1980, as their first release for MCA/LAX Records.Nuclear Blues was produced byJerry Goldstein, who had previously been known for his work with the bandWar. Even though it had only been three years since they released their last albumBrand New Day, the band contained a new line-up withDavid Clayton-Thomas being the only remaining member from that period.
This album failed to make it onto theBillboard charts. This incarnation of Blood, Sweat & Tears disbanded the following year; although various incarnations of the group have existed and toured in the years since, to date this remains their final studio album.
Nuclear Blues was reissued in Germany in 1985 on the Platinum label under the titleLatin Fire.
The Globe and Mail noted that "there are no surprises here, just steady singing from David Clayton-Thomas, and some fairly unimaginative horn lines."[3]
