| | Bread Manna CD Bread Discography of CDs
Bread's third album, 1971's MANNA, is in many ways similar to its predecessor, ON THE WATERS. Same production team, same Crosby Stills Nash and Young-meet-the Association musical style, even a similar bread-related pun for the title; in other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
David Gates, James Griffin, Robb Royer and Mike Botts had, by this point in their career, come up with a brilliant amalgam of folk-rock, Carpenters-style soft pop and glossy production that is a textbook example of the sort of soft rock which ruled the charts on the early-to-mid-'70s. MANNA's biggest hit, Gates' "If," is a classic of the style and one of the group's trademark songs. The rest of this solidly engaging record is equally enticing for those into this sort of thing, especially the opening "Let Your Love Go" and Griffiths' wistful "She Was My Lady."

This was the end of the line for Bread. David Gates reunited one last time with James Griffin after a four-year hiatus spawned by a power dispute between the two lead songwriters. The band returned to form pretty well intact, with the Gates power ballad "Lost Without Your Love" cracking the Top Ten. It would be their last hit single. By 1977, the Bread formula was starting to sound dated, but despite the unevenness, completists and heartier Bread ...

Bread's self-titled 1969 debut is somewhat atypical, compared to its later albums. Beginning with 1970's ON THE WATERS, David Gates, Robb Royer and James Griffin (with new addition Mike Botts, who doesn't appear on this album) created a smoothly commercial blend of harmonies, folk-rock gentility, and slick studio arrangements that resulted in a seemingly ...

No musicians are credited except for the associate producer title given to keyboard player Larry Knechtel and retaining Bread photographer, Frank Bez, as well as engineer Bruce Morgan, who played an important part in David Gates' First from 1973 (and who would engineer Bread's 1977 comeback, Lost Without Your Love ). The lead singer of the '70s very recognizable soft rock hit machine delivers his second solo disc, part of something a retailer once referred to as "breadcrumbs," the result of Bread's breakup. Certainly the solo recordings by James Griffin, Larry Knechtel, and Gates were nowhere as entertaining as the full band, but each time, that comes down to the material. This album sounds so much like another Bread album that there is no doubt who the main force was. Where First worked better the more Gates got away from the trademark music, his second solo album embraces the Bread formula wholeheartedly, "Playin' on My Guitar" could have been the B-side of any of the group's singles. "Greener Days" is up-tempo, not as hard as "Let Your Love Go," but singsongy and with hit potential. Emulating sentiment and style from George Harrison's All Things Must ...

Includes an untitled hidden track following "Zig Zaggity Woop Woop Part Two".
For fifth studio album SAVE MY SOUL, retro-swingers Big Bad Voodoo Daddy take a detour through the Big Easy for a 10-pack of songs that wouldn't sound out of place being played in some seedy corner of the French Quarter. From the first note played, BBVD's horn section effectively becomes a Crescent City marching band on the raucous "Zig Zaggity Woop Woop," whose two parts bookend ...
