The album is packed with versions of Bread classics from artists like Josh Rouse, Jon and Ken from The Posies, Paula Frazer, Call and Response, Oranger, Rachel Goswell (Mojave 3) and Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience).

All songs were recorded specifically for this album.

Those of us who grew up with songs of Bread might remember when "The Guitar Man" or "Make It With You" would randomly flow from the speakers of a parent's car. Maybe we weren't really listening, because back then our only real favorite music was whatever the ice cream man's truck was playing.

As we grew more toward adolescence, our parents still listened to the A.M. stations that continued to play songs of Bread. But many of us still weren't really listening because our older brothers, sisters, baby sitters and the older siblings of our best friends were leaving different kinds of records on the floor for us to pick up and put on.

The music of the older kids was full of dramatic love and adventures that we envisioned to be as cool and dangerous as it sounded.

Some of us let the songs of the older kids’ records become the blueprints and maps to our lives. And when we least expected it, sometimes we would turn the corner and run right into a Bread song. But if we stopped to listen, it was admittedly knowing that we listened for nostalgia’s sake or maybe even for petty irony. Some of us might have dismissed Bread as nothing more than a guilty pleasure.

But some of us were stopped in our tracks right then--only to realize that most of the songs of Bread are as beautiful and moving as any other songs that we have spent our lifetimes gathering. And so we learned to let the songs of Bread take us back.

And now that we're back, this album is about letting the songs of Bread take us forward.
