Synopsis

Album Description

This collection contains many of Gates' most poignant songwriting moments, including some of his hit songs with Bread, much of his released solo material, and several newer recordings. With poetic string arrangements, distinctive and effortlessly mercurial vocals and trademark soppiness aplenty, Gates ensures his songs have an evergreen romantic quality. Indefatigable sentimentalists will weep with joy at this collection, but there are some golden moments here that everyone should hear. Warner Brothers. 2002.

CD Reviews

Great Music from the Master Of Soft Rock

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well, I am, I believe, David Gates # 1 Fan - but I know there are thousands more like me out there, even now. The previous reviewers have very nicely discussed the 5 new recordings here - the best being I Can't Play The Songs, although Find Me was the single. So, to get the new songs out there, we get a compilation of 10 key Bread tracks and a measly 5 DG solo classics. There are more new songs available too, like "Love And Bide" that David has done in concert over the last 10 years. It's a wonderful collection, but as others have already said, why can't we get some David Gates solo hits like Clouds and Took the Last Train and Where Does The Lovin Go ? Make it a DAVID GATES album - the Bread tracks (perfect as they are) have been on CD 10 different ways already.

2008 Update - Bread's album LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE and David Gates' 4 ELEKTRA SOLO ALBUMS have all been issued on CD by Wounded Bird Records !

They have also re-issued Bread's first 3 albums on CD, which Rhino inexcusably let go out-of-print.

P.S. - I was greatly amused by the punk who complained that we Bread fans were the same ones who later listened to Barry Manilow, Little River Band, etc. - Damn Right ! and proud of it... I also listen to Led Zeppelin, Charlie Parker, Bob Marley, Bonnie Raitt, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Beach Boys.......GOOD MUSIC."
