The Doobie Brothers - The Doobie Brothers (1971)

This is The Doobie Brothers' first album when they were still a four-men band. The strumming and the R&B beats here set the blueprint for their later works. Though some tracks display the embryonic tune of "Listen to the Music", the best tracks here are the rhythmic "The Beehive State" and the bluesy "Closer Every Day" and "Chicago". C
