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.

These tracks highlight the collaborative contrast between Gates and James Griffin.

The transient response—the speed at which a drum hit or horn blast reaches its peak—is incredibly sharp, giving the album a rhythmic punch that soft rock is rarely credited with possessing.
