A Doobie Must-Have

"If you enjoy the Doobie Brothers as much as I do, this CD is a MUST for your collection. CYCLES, in my opinion, is placed in the same category as "The Capitan and Me" and "What Were Vices . . " It's songs are upbeat as well as soul-searching with that familiar voice of Tom Johnson. It is one that I listen to over and over because ALL the songs are good, not just a few. I already had CYCLES on cassette when it first came out, but from so much use it is getting very worn/damaged. I am ordering it on CD just to ensure I have this in my collection. Try it - I don't think you will be disappointed."
You will not be able to stop playing "Cycles"

"I bought "Cycles" in 1989 after hearing "The Doctor," on the radio,and everyone talking about the original band back together again,without Michael McDonald.This single was the last top 10 hit for the group,but the entire album is fantastic.The second cut,"One Chain" has some wonderfull harmony,with a great break,with just the Doobies singing,then the music starts up again to a hell of a ending."Time is Here and Gone," is the masterpiece.The vocals,the great guitar solo,everything about this number will make you want to keep playing it over and over again.There's one Michael McDonald song,"Tonight I'm Coming Through (The Border),"that I also enjoyed,along with "I Can Read your Mind,and the one cut that sounds alot like "Listen to the Music,"Need alittle taste."Every number on this CD is different from the next one.I swear your going to love this record."
