Classic Track of Day – The Doobie Brothers

1974 Warner Bros. WS4-2750

HappyParts was happy to see Warner Bros./Reprise continue in its tradition of ushering quality West Coast sounds – having signed Devendra Banhart for his next release. The Warner Bros. family of labels has been behind some amazing California music – radio essentials like  Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Doors, Joni Mitchell and more.  It’s only fitting that Devendra release his most pop accessible recordings to date, on a label that can take him there. Richy’s gonna kill me – but HappyParts has always been smitten by this classic  Doobie Brothers’ tune – although inspired by Cajun music, it’s a warm California classic, from an over-exposed, and therefore, hipster-dismissed, California rock band.
