5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Doobies, Oct 3 2003

By

Vilbs "vilbs" (Montreal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Captain & Me (Audio CD)

This is an awesome early album from the Doobie Brothers, featuring several big hits, but what really strikes me is how much fun and energy they put into their playing. These guys had a blast making music, and it shines through on "The Captain and Me".

The first three songs are simply classic, with "Natural Thing", "Long Train Runnin'", and "China Grove" all being super Doobies hits (not to mention sounding great being played 1,2,3). The rest of the album, if a little more subtle, is just as good, with songs like "Clear as the Driven Snow", "South City Midnight Lady", the title track, "Ukiah", and "Evil Woman" all maintaining the intensity and songsmanship at an extremely high level.

The Doobie Brothers are the quintessential American band, and this is one of their masterpiece albums. It sounds as good today as when first released, and it makes you wish that modern bands could put out material even half this good. For fans of the Doobies or classic rock in general, "The Captain and Me" is a must have for your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC 70'S THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME!, April 1 2004

By

Bill Appel (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Captain & Me (Audio CD)

With a multiple guitar and double drum musical attack, the Doobie Brothers created the best country-boogie ever on "The Captain & Me". Truely an album for the ages, it contains the great kickin',rockin' classics "China Grove" and Long Train Runnin" as the highlights, however, interwoven throughout are beautiful, melodic tracks such as the moving "Clear As The Driven Snow" and "South City Midnight Lady" mixed in with harder,in your face "Without You" and "Evil Woman", the southern thumping "Dark Eyed Cajun Woman", the smooth "Natural Thing" and ending with the wonderful, dreamy combination of "Ukiah" and the title track. Absolute musical enjoyment throughout especially now on 5.1 DTS DVD audio. A must have.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Captain and Me (Vinyl) (LP Record)

After being disappointed listening to original version because it was a little bright lacking bass I purchased the remastered Friday Music version 2009. This is a Vinyl review only. The minute I put on the new version all of a sudden the old one sounded much better. The new version lost all high end and dynamic range was sucked out. I don't understand why anyone would compress a vinyl version of an old record obviously anyone buying this would be looking for dynamic range not a record that sounds as lifeless as a CD version. Maybe todays record mastering personel don't even realize how to master a record anymore they are used to bad sound.
