Bread - Guitar Man -1972 - Pop- -flac 24-192- ^new^ Guide

The specific keyword tag "-Flac 24-192-" refers to the 2015 digital reissue of the album by Rhino/Elektra, distributed by platforms like ProStudioMasters and Highresaudio. For a song recorded in 1972 on analog tape, the FLAC format is the digital medium that best approximates the master tape.

Released in July 1972, "The Guitar Man" was the title track and lead single from Bread's fifth studio album. Written and produced by the band's mastermind David Gates, the song is a mixture of soft rock's gentle strings and acoustic guitar, juxtaposed with the raw, expressive sound of a wah-wah electric guitar. This unique blend of gentleness and grit is the perfect musical metaphor for the song's subject: a wandering musician whose existence is a series of dimly lit stages and transient crowds.
