专辑名称：Best Of The Doobies

The Doobie Brothers' career is best be divided into two camps. The band originally started out as a good-time party band, as their name implies, churning out a string of rock hits like 'Jesus Is Just Alright,' 'Take Me in Your Arms,' and 'Black Water.' The guitar intro to 'China Grove' is a rock classic, lending itself to every bar band in the world. There was something infectious about the early hits--strong melodies, great harmonies, and a genre-bending beat lifted the songs above the ordinary. That rollicking, rocking edge was all but abandoned when Michael McDonald joined. McDonald brought an urban, white-funk feel to the band, as best exemplified by 'It Keeps You Runnin'' and 'Takin' It to the Streets.' Best of The Doobies draws more heavily upon the hits before his arrival, which, to many, should make the collection almost perfect. --Steve Gdula
