Final and title track.

Starting promisingly.

Getting a bit "Listen to teh Music".

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Jun 25, 2022 7:38 pm

Too fancy rhythm.

by Nightjar Sat Jun 25, 2022 7:39 pm

The structure is very Steve Stills.

This is why.

Still haven't heard of the Eisley Brothers though. Colbert

Picking up.

It's a bit overbearing and wall-of-latin-country-rock-with-all-50-string-guitars-and-bongos-and-congas-and-everything...

My Review:

The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me (1973) - Page 7 Ln_80910

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jun 25, 2022 7:42 pm

It is over.

It was pleasant but struggled to hold the attention in its second half.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jun 25, 2022 7:43 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

Synthesizers and strings were brought in to record The Captain and Me.

Synth programmers Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff were brought in to engineer the opening track, "Natural Thing".

Striving for a synthesized sound like that of The Beatles' "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", they would overdub individual notes to create chords for the song's bridge.

A resounding success I'm sure you'll all agree.
