The Captain and Me
  • elayblooze
    "While not exactly the hardest rockers, nor the mellowest, the Doobies sailed along through the world like older, wiser Easy Riders who figured that all roads led back to the comforts of home, where one could have a peaceful, easygoing party with good friends and jams. Their own street smart tunes were upbeat messages about the importance of keepin' the good times rollin' and the home fires burnin' for as long as one wanted."
