The Doobie Brothers Takin' It to the Streets: 50th Anniversary Edition

The Doobie Brothers Takin' It to the Streets  50th Anniversary Edition on LP from Friday Music: Mastered by Joe Reagoso from the Warner Records Tapes

1976 was truly a successful and transitional year for the classic rock legends The Doobie Brothers. After recording a handful of high chart rock masterpieces, they returned to the studio for the very first time with a new band line-up consisting of Steely Dan alumni Michael McDonald and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter and recorded the classic rock champion Takin’ It to the Streets.

Along with originals Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, Tiran Porter, Keith Knudsen and John Hartmann, this revitalized chapter of the Doobie franchise became a sensation, as the album’s nine historic tracks prove over 40 years after its original release.

This platinum plus rock classic comes with all of the great tunes you remember like the rockin’ LP opener “Wheels of Fortune”, the dynamic “8th Avenue Shuffle”, and a trifecta of Michael McDonald classics like “It Keeps You Runnin’," the soulful "Losin’ End" and their smash hit single “Takin’ It to the Streets.”

This Friday Music reissue is mastered by Joe Reagoso from the Warner Records tapes and housed in a gatefold jacket.
