5.0 out of 5 stars The Doobies Best Album!, July 28, 2004

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

Released in 1973, The Doobie Brother's third album "The Captain And Me" was a combination of beautiful acoustic guitar based songs and some of the best rockers of the year. "China Grove" and "Long Train Runnin'" received strong FM radio station airplay and later "Without You" became another hit. The album included other gems such as the beautiful "Ukiah", "South City Midnight Lady", "Clear As The Driven Snow", "Natural Thing" and "Evil Woman". There was absolutely no filler on this album it was that good. The band's sophmore effort "Toulouse Street" released a year earlier was good but "The Captain And Me" far surpassed that in terms of songwriting and musicianship. The Doobie Brothers would continue well into the seventies to release albums going thru various personel changes (Michael McDonald's induction into the band certainly changed their sound to a more jazz rock fm radio friendly sound). If there's one Doobie Brothers album you buy this should be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars REMASTERED!, July 16, 2006

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

I purchased a Japanese import of one of the Doobie titles in error. When I received the disc, I decided that returning it would be too much of a hassle.

However, when I played the CD, I got a pleasant surprise: It is remastered and sounds fantastic.

The only title in the domestic Doobie catalog that has any sonic improvement is the Rhino "Long Train Runnin'" box set.

I A/B'd this disc against the set and they sound identical.

I picked up the remainder of the Japanese import Doobie albums, and they're all upgraded.

So, FINALLY, the Doobie catalog has been properly brought into the digital world. Leave it to the Japanese to finally get it right, because there's nobody at Warner Brothers who gives a damn.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Captain and Me, January 5, 2000

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

I owned this album in the "70s and it was one of my favorites. It was on my Christmas wish list this year as a cd . I must say that after 20 plus years I enjoy it as much as I did then.This compliation has something I find lacking in most artists offerings. It doesn't have just one or two songs that have garnered airplay and are popular,with the rest of the album being mediocre renditions. This album represents why the term classic rock was coined.It is solid, not a filler song on it.I am of the conviction it was produced before greedy music execs realized they could get your money with not just a" hook" in the song but then use that song as a hook to sell an album!Maybe I'm a cynic but I long for the days before Frampton when music was a little more artist oriented and not completely money driven.However, if you have never heard this album you've missed a classic. It is a rare example of a "rock" solid piece of music.
