Best Of The Doobies, Vols 1 & 2 Review

07/13/2005 7:27 AM, AMG


Featuring 11 of the group's best-known songs from its first five albums (from 1971's The Doobie Brothers to 1976's Takin' It to the Streets), The Best of the Doobies contains the boogie rock band's very best songs, including the big hits "Listen to the Music," "Jesus Is Just Alright," "Long Train Runnin'," "China Grove," "Black Water," and "Takin' It to the Streets." For most casual fans, this collection is the perfect summation of the Doobie Brothers' early career, before they turned into a slick and jazzy blue-eyed soul band in the late '70s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
