The Doobie Brothers hit their stride on The Captain and Me, the 1973 album presented here as a limited-edition 180-gram double LP.

Their third album paired Tom Johnston's rocking drive and Pat Simmons' rootsy picking with producer Ted Templeman, who helped turn their bar-band muscle into radio gold. Recorded at Warner Bros. Studios in North Hollywood, it became one of the signature records of 1970s California rock.

"Long Train Runnin'" grew out of a live jam, with Templeman nudging Johnston to make it about a train, and its chugging groove still sounds unstoppable. "China Grove" follows with one of the great riffs of the decade, a joyous, slightly ragged rocker that has never left the radio.

The deeper cuts reward close listening. "Natural Thing" opens the album with synthesizer programming from Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff, while "South City Midnight Lady" features Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on pedal steel, a year before he officially joined the band. Bill Payne's keyboards and Nick DeCaro's string arrangements add extra polish throughout, and the harmonies between Johnston and Simmons are as warm as ever.

This double-LP edition gives a well-worn favourite room to sound fresh again, right down to that famous cover shot beneath a freeway overpass.
