1980 was a very good year for the Doobie Brothers as they struck lighting four times winning four Grammy Awards for their classic # 1 album Minute By Minute..... To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of this impeccable release, Friday Music"s Joe Reagoso (Deep Purple, Johnny Winter, David Lee Roth, Paul Rodgers) has carefully and painstakingly gone to serious lengths of quality control, studio expertise and mastering sonic resonance to deliver what we feel is one of the finest listening experiences of this legendary Bay Area rock band......... Known for their knack of churning out hit songs and albums, The Doobie Brothers were also in the forefront of making excellent sounding albums. Originally produced by Ted Templeman, this album has stood the test of time, as it has become their biggest selling album of their still continuing career....... Michael McDonald"s vocals truly graced a good portion of this amazing album, and his songs on this album have gone on to become standards in the classic rock and pop history books. Most notable What A Fool Believes written by Michael and his good friend Kenny Loggins, this masterpiece was a cornerstone of this album........Co-founder and lead vocalist/guitarist Patrick Simmons also filled the album with some very incredible tunes like Don"t Stop To Watch The Wheels and the hit single Depending On You as well as Sweet Feelin".......... The band obviously knew how to cook up the hits, but the driving force was built on a multitude of factors beginning with the nucleus of each talented player. Michael McDonald on keys and one of a kind vocals, Patrick Simmons with his stunning lead vocals, dual lead guitars, plus Jeff Skunk Baxter truly outdoes himself on some of the lead breaks throughout this l.p. The dual drumming of John Hartman and the late great Keith Knudsen added the backbeat to this smash event, with Tiran Porter filling out the project with his heavy bass and background vocals........ Along with the great stunning 180 Gram Audiophile vinyl master, you also get the original artwork elements and packaging that you have come to expect from your friends at Friday Music, as well as a protective poly-lined record sleeve to help keep your album in good shape for years to come.
