Free Music Notes for Livin' on the Fault Line
Free Music Review: Finally a worthy edition of this milestone record. You should have this!
Hit: 5 Stars
The best West Coast sound ever, if you ask me.
I think I know about every note on this album. I went through three lp copies before cd's came out. Then I bought the first Warner cd. Flat!
But now it is here, the cover beautifully reproduced, just as it came out (well, smaller..), the embossed cover sleeve, the color photography inside, it's all there.
But what of course hit me most: the music. Fabulously remastered like it should have been done right from the start. Snares cutting, bass humming and popping, guitars sliding and picking, vocals soothing and yearning, keys oooh
The band? Needs no explaining I think.
But here we go anyhow. The Doobie Brothers were a great band from the start, their West Coast Rock and Roll sound unique in its own way. Their biggest hit Listen to the Music is probably in everybody's mind.
But with the addition of Michael McDonald on keys on their previous album Takin' it to the Streets the group got jazzier, and the r&b influences got stronger.
Here, again produced by Ted Templeman, the band grows into perfection. The Doobie Brothers had created their own special blend: genious!
The playing is so tight (with two drummers), the song writing top notch, with every single member hitting his peak. Michael's voice fits perfectly to the new sound. But of course Pat Simmons is fantastic too, as are the others. Guitars? Check out 'Skunk' Baxter!

As you probably know they went to super stardom with their next album Minute by Minute which had What a Fool Believes. It is of course a marvel in its own right. But if you ask me, I'll stick to this one as a first choice (after which you should get them all...). Its marvelous blend of Jazz, R&B, Rock and Roll and more never shone brighter under the Californian sun.
One more thing: take a look at the great cover photography and the marvelous idea behind creating a different image through the music
