Free Music Notes for CyclesFree Music Review: Underrated Stuff Hit: 5 Stars
I loved this album when it came out and I still do. "Cycles" came out at a time when a lot of older band - "Little Feat" among them - were finding their footing again and people were realizing these bands still had some great music in them. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
Free Music Review: The return of the Doobie Brothers Hit: 4 Stars
This comeback of the Doobie Brothers lacks Michael McDonald,so I'm only giving four stars. The original Doobie Brothers members reformed in 1989,after a seven-year split. McDonald joined the band in 1975 shortly before original frontman Tom Johnston's exit
the following year. The DB's had broken all ties with their original record label,Warner Brothers after the disbanding. This triumphant comeback was originally released on Capitol. The songs on this album are very good,I must admit. McDonald(in '89) was enjoying success as a solo performer. I believe McDonald decided not to rejoin the DB's. The DB's originally formed around 1969 or '70 and one night caught the attention of a WB producer who patronized the bikers' bar the band was playing at at the time. So the DB's got their first contract with WB and on to success they went.
Free Music Review: Made for a great reunion. Hit: 4 Stars
It took the Doobies about a decade to shake off the stigma of Michael McDonald. With "Cycles" they came back with the kind of rock sound that long time fans had been yearning for. The singles, "The Doctor" and "South of the Border" are great and there are several other tracks which make you feel like the boys had never been away, just taking a long break. A worthy addition to any Doobies collection.
