A Cold Blood egy nagy múltú rock-urban contemporary-blue-eyed soul nagyzenekar, amelyet Larry Field alapított 1968-ban, és eredetileg a San Francisco Bay Area East Bay régiójában működött. A zenekar Lydia Pense and Cold Blood néven is fellépett és felvételeket készített, énekesnőjük, Lydia Pense népszerűsége miatt...
Lydia Pense amerikai rock-soul-jazz énekesnő, aki 1969 óta tagja a Cold Blood zenekarnak. A kritikusok olyan erőteljes énekesekhez hasonlították stílusát, mint Janis Joplin és Aretha Franklin.
