Robb Royer departed the group and Larry Knechtel came on board for "Baby I'm A Want You." This was Bread's first album where I didn't think of Bread so much as a collection of David Gates' songs, James Griffin's songs, or Robb Royer's songs thrown together... not that I'm complaining. The members seemed to sound more like a band to me. The tunes seemed to flow together better, the orchestrations developed more depth and flavor, and the members sing more back-up for each other. Although Gates wrote six of the twelve songs (and co-wrote on two), it seems he and Griffin were at their colaborative best on this album. "Down On my Knees," co-written by both Gates and Griffin remains one of Bread's memorable tunes to me. This album spawned four of their top 40 hits and has, I think, Griffin's best work.... "Just Like Yesterday" (my favorite James Griffin song!- a haunting, infectious ballad you can't help but sing along to) and "Dream Lady" and "Games of Magic" that he both co-wrote with Robb Royer. It's an album for the times (1971-1972) with Gates' penned tune "This Isn't What the Government" and a bit against the times with "Daughter," but still one of my favorites- even in 1972! I like this album because of the members singing together and backing each other up more. Overall, this album has a nice balance and more variance between the ballads, rockers, and in-between songs than their prior album, "Manna." It does go out with a punch- "I Don't Love You," which you either like Griffin's "throaty" singing style or you don't! "Baby I'm A Want You" is just a very good, creative, and satisifying collection of tunes.
