3.0 out of 5 stars Doobie Debut, April 16, 2002

This review is from: Doobie Brothers (Audio CD)

The Doobie Brothers got their start playing biker bars in Northern California. Their self-titled debut has a loose, hit the open road feeling. The band was just a quartet at the time and they hadn't yet developed that classic Doobie sound. The album's best cuts are "Nobody", "Slippery St. Paul", "Travelin' Man" and "Beehive State". A solid debut, but hardly their best.

2.0 out of 5 stars A must for hard-core Doobie fans that love the originals., August 30, 1998

This CD is classic old style Doobies. It is not well known, but folks who are re-discovering the Doobies or discovering a little "Doobage" for the first time will do well to have this classic CD, the Doobie Brothers' first album in your collection. It has been said that to bring them to this place, they paid their "Doobie doos." Famous as they are for popularizing certain geographic locations, such as "China Grove" (a small community outside of San Antonio TX), "Ukiah," a remote town north of San Francisco, or "South City" ("South City Midnight Lady") denoting a seedy section of San Francisco, (classic cuts from "The Captain and Me"), this first release of the Doobies contains cuts on Chicago and Utah. Especially desirable is the tune "Travelin' Man," which so aptly unites their classic acoustic style with a wanderlust theme that is just so right. A must have for any Doobie officianado.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the REAL beginning!, September 2, 2005

Everyone remembers Toulouse Street and The Captain and Me...both solid efforts that built the Doobies a huge fan base...but to find out where it really began, this album was their major label debut in 1971. "Nobody" has that classic Johnston-Simmons chemistry that built the foundation for their style that would be a major force in the 70s. "Feelin' Down Farther" and "Travelin' Man" are also standouts...really, it's ALL good. Check out this little heard gem of an album...then after you've enjoyed this one...do yourself a favor and pick up "Cycles", their comeback disc from 1989...the return of the classic Doobies lineup with great tunes like "The Doctor", "Take Me to the Highway", "One Chain Don't Make No Prison" and "Need a Little Taste of Love". Pure joy to listen to...but THIS is the album that'll show you where it all began for these guys. Not to be missed!
