The Best of Bread
Description
Here are all their soft rock classics, finally on one CD:
Make It with You; Baby I’m-A Want You; If; Everything I Own; Lost Without Your
Love; It Don’t Matter to Me; The Guitar Man , and 13 more! If they
are to believed, David Gates and the other members of Bread never intended to
become the enduring icons of a subgenre they virtually invented: soft rock.
Indeed, scattered throughout this expanded edition of a perennial bestselling
catalog album are tuneful evidence of their original intent, as one band mate
said, “to make the ’60s last a little longer.” But it’s the familiar, largely
Gates-penned and -sung hit singles that remain the band’s legacy, from “Make
It with You” through the reunited band’s last hurrah, “Lost Without Your
Love.” Though they’ve become oft-mocked clichés, these are singles informed
with a rare, often complex melodic sense, delivered with a deceptively breezy
tone by one of pop’s purest tenors. Gates and Bread clearly colored artists as
diverse as ’80s MOR icon Christopher Cross and nouveau singer-songwriter David
Mead. –Jerry McCulley
