In the vast ecosystem of classic rock, few bands have been as unjustly maligned yet as quietly influential as Bread. Formed in Los Angeles in 1968, David Gates, Jimmy Griffin, and Robb Royer (later replaced by Mike Botts and Larry Knechtel) perfected a sound that critics quickly labeled “soft rock”—a term that, for decades, carried the sting of a backhanded compliment. But listen closely to the production of their 1972 opus, Guitar Man , and you’ll hear something far more complex than mere “easy listening.” Bread - Guitar Man -1972 - Pop- -Flac 24-192-
Guitar Man in standard definition is a photograph of a memory. Guitar Man in 24/192 is the memory itself—warts, hiss, warmth, and all. It respects the fact that in 1972, Armin Steiner wasn't just making a pop record; he was capturing air pressure changes in a room where David Gates poured his heart out over a broken musician.
