The Doobie Brothers – 1972 - Toulouse Street (2009 MFSL SACD) [FLAC@88.2khz24bit]  The Doobie Brothers  The Doobie Brothers in 1974 Wikipedia: The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band. The group has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide throughout their career. The band has been active in five decades, with their biggest success occurring in the 1970s. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004. Drummer John Hartman arrived in California in 1969 determined to meet Skip Spence of Moby Grape and join an aborted Grape reunion. Spence introduced Hartman to singer, guitarist, and songwriter Tom Johnston and the two proceeded to form the nucleus of what would become the Doobie Brothers. Johnston and Hartman called their fledgling group "Pud" and experimented with lineups (occasionally including Spence) and styles as they performed in and around San Jose. They were mostly a power trio (along with bassist Greg Murphy) but briefly worked with a horn section.

It was their first album with new bassist Tiran Porter and second drummer Michael Hossack to augment existing drummer John Hartman, so it meant that they now had their trademark twin-drummer sound. Toulouse Street is the name of a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The cover and inside centerfold photos were taken at a former brothel on Toulouse Street. AllMusic Review by Bruce Eder: Toulouse Street was the album by which most of their fans began discovering the Doobie Brothers, and it has retained a lot of its freshness over the decades. Producer Ted Templeman was attuned to the slightly heavier and more Southern style the band wanted to work toward on this, their second album, and the results were not only profitable -- including a platinum record award -- but artistically impeccable. Toulouse Street is actually pretty close in style and sound at various points to what the Eagles were doing during the same period, except that the Doobies threw jazz and R&B into the mix, as well as country, folk, and bluegrass elements, and (surprise!) ended up just about as ubiquitous as the Eagles in peoples' record collections, especially in the wake of the singles "Listen to the Music" and "Jesus Is Just Alright." But those two singles represented only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what this group had to offer, as purchasers of the album discovered even on the singles -- both songs appear here in distinctly longer versions, with more exposition and development, and in keeping with the ambitions that album cuts (even of popular numbers) were supposed to display in those days. Actually, "Listen to the Music" (written by Tom Johnston) offers subtle use of phasing and other studio tricks that make its seemingly earthy, laid-back approach some of the most complex and contrived of the period. Johnston's "Rockin' Down the Highway" shows the band working at a higher wattage and moving into Creedence Clearwater Revival territory, while "Mamaloi" was Patrick Simmons' laid-back Caribbean idyll, and the title tune (also by Simmons) is a hauntingly beautiful ballad. The band then switches gears into swamp rock for "Cotton Mouth" and takes a left turn into the Mississippi Delta for a version of Sonny Boy Williamson II's "Don't Start Me Talkin'" before shifting into a gospel mode with "Jesus Is Just Alright." Johnston's nearly seven-minute "Disciple" was the sort of soaring, bluesy hard rock workout that led to the group's comparison to the Allman Brothers Band, though their interlocking vocals were nearly as prominent as their crunching, surging double lead guitars and paired drummers. And it all still sounds astonishingly bracing decades later; it's still a keeper, and one of the most inviting and alluring albums of its era.  01 – Listen To The Music - 4:44 02 – Rockin’ Down The Highway - 3:18 03 – Mamaloi - 2:28 04 – Toulouse Street - 3:20 05 – Cotton Mouth - 3:44 06 – Don’t Start Me Talkin’ - 2:41 07 – Jesus Is Just Alright - 4:33 08 – White Sun - 2:28 09 – Disciple - 6:42 10 – Snake Man - 1:35 Personnel: The Doobie Brothers: Tom Johnston – guitars, vocals Patrick Simmons – guitars, flute, vocals Tiran Porter – bass, vocals John (Little John) Hartman – drums, percussion Michael Hossack – drums Additional Personnel: Jerry Jumonville – tenor saxophone Joe Lane Davis – baritone saxophone Sherman Marshall Cyr – trumpet Jon Robert Smith – tenor saxophone Bill Payne – piano, organ, keyboards Dave Shogren – bass and guitar on "Toulouse Street"; vocals on "White Sun" Ted Templeman – percussion Note: This is not my rip My thanks to the original uploader    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Related Torrents
