28 сентября 2010 г. ожидается выход на CD, виниле и DVD очередного студийного альбома (тринадцатого по счету) группы Doobie Brothers, что само по себе весьма для всех нас приятное событие. Группа относится к числу наших старых кумиров и в последние годы мы с большим удовольствием приобретали и смотрели их прекрасные DVD. Теперь настал черед и для новых песен. Основу нынешнего коллектива составляют старейшие участники Doobie Brothers, гитаристы и вокалисты Том Джонстон и Патрик Симмонс (по моему глубокому убеждению, неизменно лучший в составе), ударник Майкл Хоссак (присоединившийся к группе в 1971 г.) и гитарист Джон МакФи (включенный в состав в 1979 г.). В записи альбома приняли участие Майкл Макдональд и Вилли Нельсон. Продюсировал альбом Тэд Темплмен, уже опекавший группу в 70-х годах.

Doobie Brothers have reunited with 70s producer Ted Templeman for their first new album in a decade, "World Gone Crazy," which is due out on Sept. 28.
Singer-guitarist Tom Johnston tells Billboard.com that the group and Templeman -- who helmed the group's first 10 albums, including "Toulouse Street," "The Captain and Me," "Takin' It to the Streets" and "Minute By Minute" -- have been working on the disc for the past three years "off and on, between touring and everything. We were going in the studio and then we'd be on the road, get back in the studio and then be on the road again. It was kind of like the old days, only not as hectic because we...don't play as many shows as we used to." The set will be released by the new House of Rock label.
Johnston describes the album as "more musically diverse than anything we've done in the past. We cover a kind of large area." The title track, in fact, was inspired by New Orleans post-Katrina and incorporates Crescent City rhythms and horn charts. "I've got another one that's sort of a funk shuffle type of thing," Johnston says, "and then I've got, for lack of a better word, an English kind of rock 'n' roll tune that's kind of like what I always think of when I think of a pub, that old body rock 'n' roll feel." Band mate Patrick Simmons, according to Johnston, contributed "some pickin' stuff" including "We Won," which features a guest appearance by Willie Nelson.
