Minute By Minute (Vinyl)

One of the most commercially successful rock/pop bands of the 1970s, the Doobies evolved from a roots-influenced, post-hippie West Coast rock outfit with dazzling guitar work into a pop-conscious, keyboard-dominated ensemble tinged with R&B and fronted by the distinctive, soulful vocals of Michael McDonald. Though they found their greatest chart success with McDonald, the band's early recordings with singer Tom Johnston produced some impressive hits as well ("Long Train Running," "Without Love," "Black Water").

The Doobie's biggest commercial success coincided with Michael McDonald's emergence as the leader of the band. His brilliant brand of sophisticated, keyboard-driven pop soul, as exemplified by the title track and the huge hit "What a Fool Believes," was instantly identifiable and almost impossible to resist. There are tracks here that look back to the Doobie's earlier days as a biker boogie band, in particular "Don't Stop to Watch the Wheels," and "Steamer Lane Breakdown," a country song reminiscent of the Byrds' "Nashville West." But the sound here is mostly McDonald's.
