Manna (album)
''Manna'' is the third studio album by American soft rock band Bread, released in 1971. The title, like that of the preceding album ''On the Waters'', is a Biblical pun on the name Bread, in this case the manna from Heaven which was fed to the Israelites. Although it was not literally bread (the word "manna" simply means "What is it?") it has often been metaphorically described as bread from Heaven. The singles "Let Your Love Go" and "If" were released from this album. ''Record World'' said "Let Your Love Go" has a "heavier sound than usual from hegroup." ''Cash Box'' said that it "brings a new strength to the act's vocal sound, rumpling a bit of the letter-perfect smoothness of their first two hits." Track listing ;Side one #"Let Your Love Go" (David Gates) – 2:25 #"Take Comfort" (James Griffin, Robb Royer) – 3:33 #"Too Much Love" (Griffin, Royer) – 2:46 #" If" (Gates) – 2:36 #"Be Kind to Me" (Griffin, Royer) – 3:04 #"He's a Good Lad" (Gates) – 2:59 ;Side two #"She W ...

Bread (band) Albums
Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour (usually wheat) and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history and around the world, it has been an important part of many cultures' diet. It is one of the oldest human-made foods, having been of significance since the dawn of agriculture, and plays an essential role in both religious rituals and secular culture. Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes (e.g. sourdough), chemicals (e.g. baking soda), industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration, which creates the gas bubbles that fluff up bread. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavor, texture, color, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production. History Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods. Evidence from 30,000 years ago in Europe and Australia revealed starch residue on rocks used for pounding plants. It is possible that during this time, starch extract from the roots of plants, such as ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
