The Doobie Brothers - The Doobie Brothers

180-gram vinyl

Known for their ability of churning out hit songs, top charting albums and sell-out shows across the globe, The Doobie Brothers began their amazing four decade plus career in 1971 with the self-titled masterwork The Doobie Brothers. Initially a quartet featuring current founding members Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons, their debut showed early on how they had the skills to be in the forefront of making excellent sounding recordings.

For The Doobie Brothers LP, they took their Bay Area soul and rock driven sounds to a devoted audience with their first chart hit singles like "Nobody" and "Feelin' Down Farther." Produced by Ted Templeman, this album would go on to become one of the most important debut rock releases of the early '70s.

Fronted by the dual lead guitar force of Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, the late Dave Shogren on bass, and the stellar drum expertise of John Hartman, The Doobie Brothers started their trek to the music charts as the LP went even deeper on album radio with even more powerful fare such as Tom Johnston's delivery on the hypnotic "Travelin' Man" and "Greenwood Creek," plus the gospel rock feel of Patrick Simmons' "Growin' A Little Each Day."

Impeccably mastered by Joe Reagoso (Doobie Brothers/Michael McDonald/Boz Scaggs) from the original Warner Bros. tapes at Friday Music Studios and at Capitol Mastering, The Doobie Brothers sounds incredibly earthy and rockin' as you remember it. As an added anniversary bonus, Friday Music is presenting the audiophile limited edition album in the original cover, with artwork elements not seen in years in the LP format, further enhancing your Doobie Brothers listening experience.
