The Very Best Of Doobie Brothers Rar Plus A Bunch Thats what 2007s The Very Best of the Doobie Brothers is, a double-disc helping of the Doobies biggest songs from Listen to the Music to The Doctor.Īctually, this Very Best stretches a little further than The Doctor, which arrives five songs from the end, illustrating the point that for the average listener, this may be just a little too generous at 33 tracks. Theres even been a comprehensive four-disc box, but what there hasnt been is a double-disc set - something that falls between the conciseness of 2001s terrific Greatest Hits (the first CD to contain all the big hits on one CD) and 1999s four-disc Long Train Runnin 1970-2000. There have been two-part vinyl Best of the Doobies, there have been budget-line collections, and there have been OK overviews as well as excellent generous discs with all the big hits.

Radio, Sundays at 22:00 GMT, repeated on Mondays and Fridays), when he invites listeners to ‘Assume The Position’. Two for one set that should be in anyone’s collection of southern rock/AOR. The band still tour, with Michael McDonald having re-joined the band in 2019. There are some great songs on here including the sassy ‘Dangerous’, the two Peterik co-writes, ‘Divided Highway’ and ‘Under The Spell’, which unsurprisingly sound like Survivor, and ‘This Train Is Right On Time’, a real hark back to their 70s sound and their glorious harmony vocals. Perhaps the timing was not great as grunge was in the ascendancy, although the band certainly continued to enjoy great success on the road. Not sure why this didn’t continue the success they enjoyed with ‘Cycles’ as it is more AOR focussed, especially with Jim Peterik (ex-Survivor) involved in helping pen two songs.

If you like say Toto late 80’s output you’ll enjoy both of these albums.ġ991’s Brotherhood was the band’s last for their then label Capitol, who dropped them after the poor sales performance of this album. Plenty of easy on the ear, made for a lazy afternoon listening tunes including the Isley Brother cover ‘Need A Little Taste Of Love’, the aforementioned ‘Tonight I’m Coming Through’ and ‘Time Is Here And Gone’. Elsewhere the album saw the band carry on with their successful blend of southern rock and pop/soul, although with more focus on the guitar and rock, and less of the more soulful side of the band when Michael McDonald was involved (although his co-write ‘Tonight I’m Coming Through’ features on this album). A lovely piece of mainstream rock with a huge chorus. Opening with a natural successor to the band’s 70’s classic ‘China Grove’, ‘The Doctor’ was a US Top Ten hit and rightly so.

Joining them were Tiran Porter (bass, vocals), John Hartman (drums, vocals), Michael Hossack (drums, percussion) and Bobby LaKind (percussion, vocals), who left the band after the ‘Cycles’ album due to illness. The band featured founder members Tom Johnston (guitars, vocals) and Patrick Simmons (guitars, vocals) – the only band member to appear on every album released by the band. The Doobie Brothers officially split in 1982 but re-formed in 1987, with Cycles being their first post-reunion release. Two albums for Capitol by The Doobie Brothers, first released in 1989 (‘Cycles’) and 1991 (‘Brotherhood’), get a re-issue and digital remaster from BGO Records.
