ell you knew it had to happen. Friday Music is now
in the VINYL age, and what a fantastic way to kick things off, as we proudly presents the 1980 four-time Grammy Award winning
Doobie Brothers classic “Minute By Minute”.
Friday Music Vinyl has carefully and painstakingly gone to serious lengths of quality control, studio expertise and sonic resonance to deliver
what we feel is the ultimate listening experience of this legendary Bay Area rock band. Known for their knack of churning out hit songs and
albums, The Doobie Brothers were also in the forefront of making excellent sounding albums. Originally produced by Ted Templeman, this
album has stood the test of time, as it has become their biggest selling album of their still continuing career.
Michael McDonald’s vocals truly graced a good portion of this amazing album, and his songs have gone on to become standards in the classic
rock and pop history books. Most notable “What A Fool Believes” written by Michael and his good friend Kenny Loggins, this masterpiece was
a cornerstone of this album, and kind of set the tone for the band, as well as his long and successful solo career.
Patrick Simmons also filled the album with some very incredible tunes like “Don’t Stop To Watch The Wheels” and the hit single “Depending
On
You” as well as “Sweet Feelin.”
The band obviously knew how to cook up the hits, but the driving force was built on a multitude of factors beginning with the nucleus of each
talented player. Michael McDonald on keys and one of a kind vocals, Patrick Simmons with his stunning lead vocals, dual lead guitars, plus
Jeff “Skunk” Baxter truly outdoes himself on some of the lead breaks throughout this l.p. The dual drumming of John Hartman and the late
great Keith Knudsen added the backbeat to this smash event, with Tiran Porter filling out the project with his heavy bass and background
vocals.
Along with the great stunning 180 Gram vinyl master, you also get the original artwork elements and packaging that you have come to expect
from your friends at Friday Music.
Things have a way of going full circle, and we feel that our Friday Music Vinyl will be your first choice for great recordings both classic and new,
and The Doobie Brothers smash Minute by Minute is just a taste of things to come! Shipping March 2008..Pre-order now being accepted.
