The Doobie Brothers-Minute By Minute (1978)

A twist and a change in musical philosophy, compared to albums like the monumental The Captain And Me, would be like saying that this is a different band.
And it is that with this work, the group leaves behind its musical and sound style to start a new stage.
Here the importance of keyboards takes center stage and McDonald's voice is so fundamental that it overshadows the predominant guitars in what has been done until then.
As much Baxter as Simmons, the guitarists of the band almost happen to be pure companions, more than soloists as they had been in all the previous albums.
The result was a record of tremendous success with singles like the fantastic What A fool Believes that would reach the top of the sales charts in many countries around the world.
However, the essence of the past era is present in the instrumental Steamer Lane Breakdown.
An album that offers a whole arsenal of songs to enjoy with a band that knew how to reinvent itself intelligently.
