This is how they group began after session work including Gate's work with Captain Beefheart (really!) They form their own group to make some Bread or maybe see a bread truck while trying to find a name to put them in the stores close to the Beatles and Cream...Dismal, Day, the opening track, is strong, but didn't make a big splash - those of us who love to sing along with Bread still don't know how they hit that opening line! Listen to the lyrics and autotune yourself or you may do some damage. London Bridge, a lament to things changing, though not for the better is from a bygone era when the real London Bridge was being moved to the American Southwest. There are the classic tracks like It Don't Matter To Me (and we can always forgive Gate's Okie Grammerisms) and some tracks you may never have heard! Family Doctor is a silly throwaway, but endearing somehow.Jim Gordon's drum on the studio album ties the group together well. He's replaced by Mike Botts when Gates, Griffin, and Robb Royer toured and produced their next two albums.They put on a great pop show and this is where it began. Hear this album as a unit, played from end to end rather than the hit snippit albums - it's well produced and varied and well-connected!
