Bread's GUITAR MAN was not one of its most commercially successful albums--the album's only chart single was the title track--but it's a finely-crafted, well-constructed soft rock album which shows the group at its best. Bandleader David Gates first made his name as a session producer and songwriter in mid-'60s L.A.; the Monkees' hard-pop "Saturday's Child" is one of his best and best-known efforts.

He clearly learned at the feet of such icons as Brian Wilson and Phil Spector, as even the weaker songs here are sublimely arranged, with crystalline production. The best songs, such as "Welcome to the Music" or "I Didn't Even Know Her Name," are comparable to the best of the Carpenters' singles being released at the same time.

Bread Baby I'm-A Want You CD  (1972)

Bread's fourth album, 1972's BABY I'M-A WANT YOU, is the band's commercial high point and one of its finest albums. Besides the title track, inescapable on AM radio that year and which has taken up permanent residence on the playlists of soft rock radio stations in the decades ever since, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU contains two other ...

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 fans should seek and find this record. There's plenty of filler, but a couple of the Gates ballads stand out: "Hooked on You" and "Belonging" are trademark honey sweet singer/songwriter pop. James Griffin co-wrote three cuts with original Bread member Robb Royer, and their work, like "She's the Only One," has ...

Bread CD  (1969) Reissued

Guitar Man music CDs
CD $9.69  Top 500
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 endless string of hit singles. BREAD is reminiscent of the chamber-folk sound Elektra Records pioneered in the '60s--think of Judy Collins' Joshua Rifkin period--mixed with a tinge of Buffalo Springfield-style country-pop. Flute, violin, viola, and recorder are integral to the band's arrangements, and songs such as "Dismal Day" and "You Can't Measure ...

Bread's second album was its commercial breakthrough, and for good reason. The Los Angeles foursome created its signature commercially accessible sound with this album and refined it over its next several releases. Starting with ON THE WATERS, Bread became Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young without the rough edges. The commercial brilliance of this subtle shift is obvious; Bread was ...

Bread Manna CD  (1971)

Guitar Man album
CD $10.79  Top 500
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 ...

David Gates Never Let Her Go CD  (1975)

Guitar Man CD music
CD $9.69  4.6 stars Top 500
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 Pass album on "Greener Days," even lifting ...
