The Doobie Brothers
Doobie Brothers Official Website
The band formed in 1969, in San Jose California. The original line up consisted of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, Dave Shogren, and John Harrtment. They were originally named "Pud". Thankfully their notorious, consistent love for "doobies" was pointed out to them, and they changed their name accordingly.
They have southern influences, tex-mex influences, country, and R&B influences all mixed in with their sound. They have always been known for an exceptional horns section as well. They went through a good number of line up changes; one included the guitarist(and multi-instrumentalist) Jeff "Skunk" Baxter(known for his work with Steely Dan at that time). The other major line up change, the addition of singer and pianist Micheal McDonald, had a great effect on the sound of the Doobies. They eventually did return to their original sound.
They released 13 albums since their first, S/T, album from 1971 to 2010, when they released World Gone Crazy. They are still rocking hard, and strong today
