Info for Baby I'm-A Want You (Remastered)
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 big chart hits, 'Diary' and the oft-covered 'Everything I Own,' which may well be Bread's best single ever.
Besides those three David Gates-penned gems, the album includes nine other soft rock favorites, including James Griffin's atypically humorous 'That Isn't What the Governmeant' and the unusually straightforward 'I Don't Love You' alongside more standard Bread fare such as 'Daughter' and the lovely, crystalline 'Dream Lady.' For the Bread neophyte, „Baby I'm-a Want You“ is probably the best starting point of their original studio albums .
'...BABY I'M-A WANT YOU is a full-bodied album, exuding health and vigor even in the thicks of its most exaggerated sentimentality...' (Rolling Stone)
'...Impeccable soft rock with a peppering of heart-melting ballads. This...is th ewinnign formula in excelsis.' (Q-Magazine)
„Baby I'm-A Want You is Bread's best album, showcasing its soft and hard sides (yes, Bread had a hard side) at their respective peaks. 'Mother Freedom,' with its crunchy James Griffin guitar solo, and the superb soft rocker 'Baby I'm-A Want You' made a brilliant opening which the rest of the album had a hard time matching. The songs range from wistful sentimentality ('Diary') to spirited protest ('This Isn't What the Government,' a poor man's 'Taxman' with an anti-war slant). The high points outnumber the flat spots, and the playing is very polished (with unexpected hard rock flourishes on 'Dream Lady'), but this is still a '70s period piece. Reissued in 1996.“ (Bruce Eder, AMG)
