Mike Botts became their permanent drummer when he joined in the summer of 1969, and Larry Knechtel replaced Royer in 1971, playing keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, and harmonica.

It began with a B, like the Beatles and the Bee Gees. Bread also had a kind of universal appeal. It could be taken a number of ways. Of course, for the entire first year people called us the Breads.

A SIGOPS Compilation Sugar Ray is an American rock band formed in Newport Beach, California, in 1986. Originally playing heavier funk metal and nu metal style music, the band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single "Fly". The song's success led the band to shift its style dramatically to the more radio-friendly pop sound with their subsequent releases. Their best-selling album, 14:59, was released in 1999, and featured popular singles "Every Morning", "Someday", followed by a self-titled album in 2001 featuring the single "When It's Over". The band would release two further albums, In the Pursuit of Leisure and Music for Cougars, though the albums and respective singles generally sold far less. The band continued to tour into the 2010s. In 2019, ten years after the band's last album, they announced their seventh studio album, Little Yachty, in June 2019. The lead single, "Make It Easy", was released the same month. Tracks: 01 Fly 02 Every Morning 03 Answer The Phone 04 Someday 05 When It's over

Bare Trees is the sixth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1972. It was their last album to feature Danny Kirwan, who was fired during the album's supporting tour. In the wake of the band's success in the mid-1970s, Bare Trees peaked at number 70 on US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1988. Mick Fleetwood was particularly impressed with Kirwan's contributions to the album. "Danny had the chops with layering techniques, and the ability to know what's right and wrong in the studio," he said.

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix is a compilation album of songs by American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, released in 1997 by Legacy Recordings. The single compact disc collects 20 songs spanning his career, from his first recordings with the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966 to his last with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell in 1970. Experience Hendrix is the first comprehensive collection of Hendrix's songs overseen by Experience Hendrix, a family company that took over management of his recording legacy in 1997. Fifteen songs with the Experience band are included, as well as five with Hendrix's later backing musicians. No songs from the Band of Gypsys lineup with Buddy Miles are included. Experience Hendrix replaces the best-selling 1992 compilation The Ultimate Experience, which features a similar track list but contains fewer songs from posthumous releases.

Some would argue that a single-disc collection doesn't do Free much justice, and that even a single-disc collection merits more than 11 songs (though this CD really isn't that short, adding up to 46 minutes). Still, for those who want a heavy dose of Free, there's more than one multi-disc set available. This is a pretty good sample of their 1968-1973 output, focusing understandably most heavily on Fire and Water (the 1970 album with "All Right Now") but including at least a track from all of the LPs they put out during the period. Those familiar primarily with the single "All Right Now" might be surprised at how moody, sometimes even downbeat, much of this blues-rock is. While Free lacked the oomph of Led Zeppelin, they were at the same time more concise and seriously emotional than many such bands of the era, at least on the songs selected for this disc. The curious omission of the two British hit singles "My Brother Jake" and "A Little Bit of Love," however, prevents this from being the most representative and concise best-of it could have been, though the hit "Wishing Well" is onboard. 1 I'm a Mover 2:55 2 Walk in My Shadow 3:30 3 I'll Be Creepin' 3:27 4 Fire and Water 3:57 5 All Right Now 5:32 6 Heavy Load 5:19 7 The Stealer 3:14 8 Mr. Big [Live] 6:10 9 Catch a Train 3:26 10 Wishing Well 3:40 11 Come Together in the Morning 4:38

They come from all around Nobody checks a thing Men walk mysteriously Then the ladies follow in Take the quietest giant steps For a cruise in the morning hours Stop and stare like they're all possessed Their inhibitions get devoured Everybody is on a quest And the rest of the world can wait My lips are longing for the taste Underneath Tahitian skies Danger is divine Knowing every lover lies And I don't mind They live in secrecy At no fixed address Before the heat is on Everyone escape to rest There's a hustler beside the bar As a wind with an evil eye Heaven knows what he does in the day What he turns into at night Every dame is surrounding him But his eyes tell them it's too late My lips are longing for a taste Underneath Tahitian skies Danger is divine Knowing every lover lies And I don't mind
