REVIEW

What could the Doobie Brothers possibly do to follow-up the excellent The Captain and Me?

Plenty

They started by inviting the Memphis Horns to inject more soul into their trademark, Southern-styled boogie rock

Next, they secured the services of Steely Dan virtuoso Jeff “Skunk” Baxter to supply guitar and pedal-steel parts

And for extra spice, the band recruited Arlo Guthrie to play autoharp

The results?

What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, the group’s most diverse album to date

It’s just one reason Mobile Fidelity is proud to include the 1974 effort in its phenomenal Doobie Brothers catalog restoration series

Of course, no record is worth its salt without sharp songwriting

Fret not

What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits overflows with one memorable tune after another

It’s a true collective effort, with the material reflecting the musical strengths of each of the members

Picking up where the disbanded Creedence Clearwater Revival had left off, Tom Johnston contributes the rousing “Pursuit on 53rd Street” and “Down in the Track”

Patrick Simmons’ “Black Water” advances swamp rock, and gave the band its first Number One hit
