The Doobie Brothers – The Captain And Me
LP, Album | Warner Bros. Records | Cat. No. BS 2694 | Canada | 1973
The album that put the Doobie Brothers on the map — The Captain And Me contains two of the most enduring rock radio staples of the '70s: Long Train Runnin' and China Grove, both on Side A. Produced by Ted Templeman and recorded at Warner Bros. Studios, North Hollywood, the album showcases the band's signature twin-guitar interplay between Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons, with Bill Payne on piano and organ, Tiran Porter on bass, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on pedal steel (courtesy of ABC Dunhill Records). ARP synthesizer programmed by Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff. String arrangements by Nick DeCaro. Canadian WEA Music pressing with Shorewood spine litho and Shorepak patent on back cover.
