Product Description

Amazon.ca

The Doobie Brothers' career is best be divided into two camps. The band originally started out as a good-time party band, as their name implies, churning out a string of rock hits like "Jesus Is Just Alright," "Take Me in Your Arms," and "Black Water." The guitar intro to "China Grove" is a rock classic, lending itself to every bar band in the world. There was something infectious about the early hits--strong melodies, great harmonies, and a genre-bending beat lifted the songs above the ordinary. That rollicking, rocking edge was all but abandoned when Michael McDonald joined. McDonald brought an urban, white-funk feel to the band, as best exemplified by "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "Takin' It to the Streets." Best of The Doobies draws more heavily upon the hits before his arrival, which, to many, should make the collection almost perfect. --Steve Gdula

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Sound Quality April 6 2012
By Dr. SA
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this item and was VERY disappointed with the sound quality. First of all it arrived with a broken jewel case. I looked over the CD itself and found no damage, so I can live with a broken CD case, stuff does happen tho' it is the first time.Upon playing the CD I found the sound to be low even on an "ear splitting" volume setting.
I was upset because I do like the Doobie Bros. I would say in closing whoever mixed this knew nothing about sound..
I will continue to purchase from Amazon, as this is the only bad CD I have gotten. I just wanted to get this off my chest..

5.0 out of 5 stars Doobie Brothers Still Rock! April 23 2010
By Gatena
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
What can I say -- I LOVE the Doobie Brothers, and this is a great compilation of some of their earlier songs... these songs remind me of my life in the early 70's -- lots of fond memories. Terrific "dancercise" music; if you're as old as I am, you probably need a workout too. Favorite tracks: "Listen to the Music", and "Black Water" -- with those funky R&B riffs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Doobies Are Just Alright Jun 27 2004
By M. Jackson
Format:Audio CD
Awesome collection! Amazing Jams! The Doobies Are Just Alright With Me. Here's your song-by-song review

1. China Grove - [5 star] - The first time I heard this song, I had no idea it was a town. I thought the China Grove was a bunch of Chinese people that grouped together in one town...or maybe some kind of plant...

2. Long Train Runnin' - [5 star] - Awesome acoustic riff. I call this song SKIPPY because on my CD it skips...over and over....But nonetheless, it's a great track

3. Takin' It To The Streets - [5 star] - My favorite Michael McDonald song EVER. A must here for blue-eyed soul fans!

4. Listen To The Music - [5 star] - My favorite Doobies track. Probably the first chorus I ever heard, which EVERYBODY knows.

5. Black Water - [5 star] - The first Doobies song I knew. I remember hearing the older members of my family play it in my grandparent's living room.

6. Rockin' Down The Highway - [5 star] - Awesome road song. Another chorus that EVERYBODY knows

7. Jesus Is Just Alright - [5 star] - Yes, he is. The guitar on this sounds a LOT like Hendrix.

8. It Keeps You Runnin' - [3 and 1/2] - Alright track. I think the chorus is definitely the best part.

9. South City Midlight Lady - [5 star] - The music reminds me a lot of where I live. I can definitely relate to it. You probably would, too, if you grew up in a small southern town. More than likely their most famous singer-songwriter song

10. Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me) - [5 star] - Smooth rock & roller with a jumpy, bouncy beat

11. Without You - [5 star] - Probably their most popular vocal part with the young people

Considering this album was made in 1976, it's definitely got the better bit of their best up until that year. I advise everyone of the free world to buy this album. One of my highest recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly The Best Of The Doobies
This collection truly is what it's title says it is. It includes the group's best country-boogie numbers, but it also touches on their later pop-soul sound without wallowing in it. Read more
