Doobie Brothers - 2006
The "dictionary definitions" below represent some
of the ways we've heard people try to describe our music, and show some
pretty good reasons why someone once said simply - "listen to the
music." It's hard for us as the Doobie Brothers to define our music,
and as a matter of fact one of the things that has kept the band going
through the years is an approach that isn't self-limited stylistically.
Doobie Brothers n. ['Hind. dub; Sans. durva, a kind of pasture grass;
L. frater; G. bruder, Sans. bhratar; AS. brothor, male sibling']
- Music group known for blues based songs with a rock edge, often
with lush vocal harmonies (see also rock 'n' soul).
- Assemblage of musicians specializing in country based rock featuring
instrumentation such as violin and finger-picked acoustic guitar
combined with electrical instruments and drums.
- Musical entity recognized for incorporating sophisticated jazz
stylings into "popular hit" songs.
- "Rock" band, origins circa 1970, with reputation
for exciting live performances and skillful musicianship.
 We feel fortunate to have had solid support from the listening public
for our efforts with songs ranging in style from the bluesy rock of Long
Train Runnin' to the country tinged Black Water to the gospel/jazz rooted
Takin' It ToThe Streets, and songs that truly defy classification.
Along the way we've also been blessed to have accumulated
multiple Grammy awards, numerous gold, platinum, and multi-platinum
albums (and now a "Diamond" record!!)
and a lot of great times together. Many thanks to all the listeners who've
helped us to keep making music!!
