Review
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.
