The Doobie Brothers, who continue to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a tour that is heading into its third year, have announced new music!
Co-founders Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston have confirmed that the band’s next album will feature Michael McDonald, marking a reunion of the original Doobie Brothers!
Singer/keyboardist McDonald was with the band from 1975-1982 and has been involved again since the anniversary tour was first announced in 2019.
Produced by John Shanks – who also handled 2021’s Liberte, the band’s first set of new material in 11 years – it will be the Doobies’ first album with McDonald since One Step Closer in 1980 and the first Doobies album to include McDonald, guitarists Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston since Takin’ It to the Streets in 1975. McDonald also sang backing vocals on the Doobies’ 2014 album Southbound.
Looking forward to this one!
