What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits

The Doobie Brothers

Sun-drenched California rock meeting swampy bayou folk. A warm, analog collection of radio staples and soulful deep cuts defined by dual-drummer grooves.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate 70s road trip record that accidentally invented a new kind of soulful folk-rock.

A sun-soaked blend of soulful optimism and gentle, acoustic melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the acoustic fingerpicking of Black Water into the lush, layered a cappella vocal breakdown.
The swirling, psychedelic texture of the guitars on Another Park, Another Sunday achieved through Leslie speakers.
The driving, syncopated horn section punch that elevates the soulful groove of Song to See You Through.
