@rexvisitor44 4 года назад

Except they aren’t southern or country. They are Northern California more in common with the Dead or Jefferson Airplane in terms of roots. Southern is Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, etc. A different animal. You could compare them to The Band, which is another northern band that has a bluesy kind of vibe and could be mistaken for southern.

It’s New Orleans distilled in audio form.

@kamtheman106 3 года назад

Doug Kirk “Simmons would complete "Black Water" during a subsequent Doobie Brothers' sojourn in New Orleans; a lifelong aficionado of Delta blues, Simmons had first visited New Orleans for a 1971 Doobie Brothers gig: "When I got down there it was everything I had hoped it would be...The way of life and vibe really connected with me and the roots of my music." Simmons cites the song's opening section - see Quote Box to the right - as "my childhood imaginings of the South from reading Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer" while the lyrics subsequent to the first chorus draw on his actual experience of New Orleans: "going down to the French Quarter as often as possible and going into the clubs and listening to Dixieland":[3] the lyric Well if it rains, I don't care/ Don't make no difference to me/ Just take that street car that's goin' uptown was jotted down by Simmons while riding through the University District on the St. Charles Streetcar Line en route to the Garden District in Uptown New Orleans to do laundry: "the sun was shining while it was pouring rain the way it does down there sometimes. And the lyrics just came to me there [on the streetcar]."

@dimedraweriv258 4 года назад

The Doobies are straight Rock and Roll to me. That's not to say there isn't some country influence ,but you can say that for half the rock in history because the two genres both came from blues and folk. I'd also add that I so prefer this version of the Doobies over the Michael McDonald era although I'm aware that version sold tons of records.

There is something strangely satisfying about watching you both digging a song that we have listened to for many years. The interesting thing about this song is that it was originally a B-side song. It was never intended to be released as a single but eventually ended up going #1. I've suggested this before but seeing your reaction to Black Water makes me want to see you react to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "The Ballad Of Curtis Loew". This is another really cool swampy blues tune. Has a great slide guitar part in it as well.

I remember when Blackwater first aired. It defined the whole summer. Sure there were other huge hits: Born To Run, Bohemian Rhapsody, Wish Your Were Here, to name a few, but, this song counter-balanced everything, and it aired A LOT. Didn't matter what came on before or after, this song set the mood. What an incredible vibe.

67-77 I was 8-18 during that time. Started off with my first 45 at the age of 8 (The Beatles Eight Days a Week) and ended up with The Eagles, Hotel California. Mix in my brother's collection of the Stones, Cream, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, etc. and my mother's love of Motown and I got quite the musical education. Didn't realize until much later just how lucky I was to come of age in the golden era of real music.

"Who else sings catfish in a rock song?" Well, Jimi Hendrix did Catfish Blues. Not sure you'd call it a "rock song" because it's definitely blues. Then again, it IS Hendrix, so... yeah...

Those harmonies will melt the whisky glass in your hand.

So here's the thing with the Doobies, their great songs and production. The man that basically discovered the Doobies and produced the vast majority of their albums is the legendary producer Ted Templeman. I just read his incredible autobiography titled: Ted Templeman: a Platinum Producer's Life in Music. Guys and everyone else, if you love the Doobies, this is an absolute f-in read! Trust me, I couldn't put it down. He talks about the formation of the band, how he recorded them in the studio, along with his legendary engineer partner, Donn Landee. These guys also recorded most of the Van Halen albums as well as the legendary Montrose debut album. That's one reason why the Doobie songs sound so good. What a great band, some of the best tunes ever.....college outdoor parties by the lake with kegs, smoke, girls, frisbees and the Doobies...yeah! 😎 🍺
