The Doobie Brothers are stepping forward with their first new album in a decade, with famed producer Ted Templeman at the helm. Templeman worked on the very first efforts from the group nearly 40 years ago, and a reunion of sorts has taken place for the release of “World Gone Crazy” on September 28.
Singer-guitarist Tom Johnston told Billboard.com that the group and Templeman, who produced the group’s first 10 albums, including “Toulouse Street” and “Takin’ It to the Streets“, have been working on the disc for the past three years “off and on, between touring and everything.”
Its first single, a re-recorded version of 1971′s “Nobody”, is now available for streaming at the band’s official website. The Brothers will play live this year at the 70th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on the Legendary Buffalo Chip stage – Melodic Rock Concerts will once again be presenting coverage of this unique event.
Hopefully the release will be on vinyl as well. If you’ve never seen them live, the Doobie Bros are a must see band.
