Core Four Dept. - Th' Doobies

One a year, 72-75. Business as usual back then, unbelievable now.

 

The Warner Bros. label back then was a guarantee of swell entertainment, recording-wise. Quality all down the line - sharp A&R men picking up exciting talent, great bands making great records in beautiful sleeves. I mean, gee whiz! The Doobies were rightly seen as essential investments, albums you'd spend a lot of time with, get a lot out of. I still do, over fifty freaking years later. Although they did some other good stuff, these four are the core. The band was always more concerned with making you feel as good as they did, rather than being cool. They were right.

(I just wanted to see something great at the top of the blog, as I'll be stepping back a little, again, again!)
