The Doobie Brothers weren’t brothers, nor were they called Doobie. The band started life as Pud in 1969 in Chateau Liberté, a club in the mountains of California. The group took on the slang name for marihuana cigarettes (doobie) one year later. The Doobies’ music, however, never sounded like that of befuddled, half-stoned junkies. Heavy metal hard rock was their thing which made their record company Warner target the bikers of the rocker scene. The idea backfired, though, because the band had far more to offer than explosive hard rock. The album "The Captain And Me" is considered to be the group’s most concentrated and versatile production since it contrasts aggressive, hard numbers with gentle ones full of melodiousness. The very first number, "Natural Thing", shows how winsome vocal folk music and electric guitar riffs can be amalgamated into rock music. Amongst these titles, decidedly angry numbers such as "Without You" and "Evil Woman" became real trailblazers. Now and then, an extensive harp solo or nonchalant licks from the acoustic guitar remind one of the pungent bluegrass style emanating from the South. That even the sweet wailing of the steel guitar ("South City Midnight Lady") finds room for expression seems quite logical in this well-thought-out musical concept. This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under

Die Doobie-Brothers waren keine Brüder und hießen auch nicht Doobie. Das Gespann startete 1969 unter dem Bandnamen Pud im Chateau Liberté, einem in den kalifornischen Bergen gelegenen Club, und taufte sich ein Jahr später nach dem Slangwort für Marihuana-Zigaretten (Doobie) um. Nach Sinne umnebelnder Kiffermusik klang der Sound der Doobies jedoch nie. Eiserner Rock war angesagt, der die Warner-Gesellschaft dazu verleitete, die Stahlross reitende Rocker-Szene als Zielgruppe anzupeilen. Ein Fehlschuss, wie sich herausstellte, denn die Band hatte weit mehr zu bieten als puren Hammer-Rock. Das Album "The Captain And Me" gilt als das konzentrierteste und vielseitigste Produkt der Gruppe, das Gegensätzliches hart und zart in melodiöse Formen gießt. Schon das erste Stück "Natural Thing" zeigt, wie gefälliger Vokal-Folk und elektrische Gitarrenriffs zu ehrlichem Rock verschmelzen. Deutlich zorniger, aber in immer klar strukturierten Schüben, brechen sich Nummern wie "Without You" und "Evil Woman" ihre Bahn. Hin und wieder erinnern ein ausgedehntes Harp-Solo und lässige Licks von der Akustik-Gitarre an den duftigen Bluegrass-Style des Südens. Dass sogar das süßliche Wimmern der Steel-Guitar ("South City Midnight Lady") noch seinen Platz findet, erscheint als logische Konsequenz eines bis ins letzte Detail durchdachten musikalischen Konzeptes. Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter
