Doobie Brothers - Taking it to the Streets (Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD)
Doobie Brothers Album Features Ex-Steely Dan Members Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Michael McDonald:Ā Takin' It to the StreetsĀ Pulses with Soulful Melodies and Latin-Inspired Rhythms
Sourced from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Features Stellar Airiness, Openness, and Balances
Takinā It to the StreetsĀ marks a high point in the Doobie Brothersā career. Benefitting from the breakup of Steely Danās core band, the California groupās mellowed-out 1976 album is heavily influenced by the key contributions of former Dan members Jeff Baxter and Michael McDonald. The latter are responsible for an increase in soulful melodies and Latin-fused rhythms, which help makeĀ Takinā It to the StreetsĀ among the most enjoyably chill recordings of the era.
Sourced from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelityās numbered-edition hybrid SACD captures the nuances of the splendid interplay between Baxter and McDonald, brassiness of the Memphis Horns section, and opens up a dynamic gateway to the high frequencies. And yes, MoFi engineers made certain this SACD tops the prior MoFi edition cut back in 1988.Ā
Sonic charms are everywhere, particularly on the joyous title cut, an example of the bandās conscious embrace of R&BĀ elements and gospel accents. Defined by gorgeous chorus and fine harmonies, the song epitomizes the albumās spirit and feel. This is music designed for celebrating, relaxing, and romancing. A welcome contrast to the fast pace and mechanical sounds of the modern world,Ā Takinā It to the StreetsĀ soothes and satisfies.
Warm organs and fluid guitars reinforce the overall mood, reflected by the laidback album-cover art. Akin to enjoying a cold beer or a day in the park, the Doobies are all about simple pleasures, and 70s rock doesnāt come any sweeter than this. Devoid of grand gestures and political statements, the earnest appeal ofĀ Takinā It to the StreetsĀ remains intact.
Wondering what happened to good olā rock and roll? It lives on, right here.
