Anybody heard these? Doobies' effort is called World Gone Crazy and Bachman Turner (NOT Overdrive...) is eponymously titled.

They're both fucking great. Classic sound, no frills, great classic 70s rock. 80s bands need to take note. This is how it's done. If you're a fan of good 70s classic rock (and I know a lot of you have absolutely wretched musical tastes, so just disregard this if you're one of those), pick both of these up.

Does April Wine have a new album? And I gotta admit, I don't really know any Nazareth besides Hair of the Dog. What are some good tracks/albums for Naz?

Love the Doobs and BTO ...or BT now?!?!
The Doobie's have their original vox ...what about BTO?!?

Yep, Fred Turner and Randy share vocal duties on the BT album, just as they always did.

Nah, April Wine's last was '06 and not sure when Nazareth last put something out, but their greatest hits album still gets tons of play. I meant more on....still out there playing live, both have played here in the last couple years. April Wine definitely kicked my ass, GREAT show, they have so many hits!

Doobie Brothers - Nobody - Live - http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--218711640

Bachman & Turner album is fantastic, it literally sounds like it was released in the 70's.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpcE4_VwunA

"That What It Is" sounds like classic BTO.



I haven't picked up the Doobies yet, but it is on my list, I have heard nothing but good things.

That's What It Is rocks too. Love that double tracked acoustic underneath the heavy electric. Get that Doobie Bros album quick - it's just as good as BT

The Doobies didn't ask that cocksucking white haired Diva Michael McDonald back did they? I can't stand that fucker.

April wines last one was not good , but the one before it had some good songs on it

That I'll agree with, wasn't keen on the last one either. But gawd they had some great tunes........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEgOh_RvX5w

And Myles still sounds great live, granted he can't hit some of his super highs from the 70s, but he still sounds damn good.

"if I hear ya mo be there one more time, I'm going to ya mo burn the building to the ground!!"

He does sound very good live

Have the Doobs and enjoying it. Nice mix of songs. Having a Doob (song) with Willie is interesting.

I hated the turn the Doobies took when McDonald joined the band, but it is kind of cool hearing him with them again.

Johnston scares me in concert. Looks like he'll hop down and kick your ass if you're not up having fun and getting into his music.

Why the eye roll, douche? Oh that's right, I made up everything I ever said. Fuck off.

Great deep cut from the BT album: "Traffic Jam"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phyaSudXfPY

Great jazzy groove and guitar playing. The heir apparent to "Looking out for No. 1"

Hair of the dog is a fine album,but you do wanna get the albums from before.
Razamanaz and Loud'N'Proud are great southern US fried British blues sleaze rock.

I really dig this track, there really isn't a dud on the entire album.

I picked up the Doobie's album today, after just one listen I am hooked, may be up for album of the year of my collection.

I also have Steve Lukather's album on it's way, can't wait to hear what Luke has put together.

Agreed. One of my favorite songs of theirs is from Loud N Proud ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_809EZ6bIA

Great pics as always.

I failed to mention the musicianship and vocals are top notch in concert. I've never been disappointed.

Love the song but that video cracks me up. It is sooo 70s, LOL everybody in the audience and for that matter the band, looks baked out of their skulls. LOL kinda reminds me of an old Chicago Soundstage clip of Journey's too.

And for some reason every time I hear this song I ended up getting that line stuck in my head and singing it the rest of the day....... "I'm drinkin' sweet champagne, got the headphones up high, can't drum you out of my mind. They're singin'-"Goodbye baby, baby bye-bye...." :lol:

Another fave of theirs is Holy Roller, love that one.

the new doobies sound classic and refreshing at the same time... I hear some captain and me in this new CD... but start to finish very good...

Wow - Bachman & Turner just rocked the half-time show at the Grey Cup (our Canuck 'version' of the Superbowl, for you Yanks ). I tell you, for a couple of 67 year-olds, they sounded pretty fine. I'll post some video tomorrow if I get a chance. And I love their new album!

Related note - these guys sang the national anthem. I've heard of them but never really listened to their music. Went searching, and I'm really liking their sound too.
