[toddfowler]

Everything will be alright as long as The Doobie Brothers are in our lives‼️📻🎤🎸🎹🎺🎻🥁

I love, love, love Mike's voice but brother, when Tom and Pat are on those smooth bgvs, there's nothing else like it (same goes for when Pat and Mike are backing Tom and when Tom and Mike are backing Pat) ! I'm so glad Michael is once again a Doobie. There's no place like home! Way to go gents and thank you so much for finding the place in your hearts to reunite and make incredible timeless music once again.

This has to be the best news of 2025 the awesome voice of Michael McDonald back with The Dobbie Brothers, and absolutely stunning new track ❤️👍

[EuanElliott]

I never thought id hear Michael sing with the Doobies again in the studio.
This is rock & soul at its very best: gracious of Tom to let him rejoin the band.
They sound awesome.

I am 66 years old and I grew up with many groups in the late seventies and beyond but one of my favorites were the Doobie Bros. I put my earphones on and close my eyes and let their music take me away. Not ashamed to say wind up with tears in my eyes many times. The Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald years make no difference. One of Tom's songs "Another Park Another Sunday" will get the water flowing for me. Reminds me of high school when you break up with a girl and your world seems to end. Not to mention all the fun songs they have produced over the years. Their lineup has changed many times but the music hasn't. They have been at it for 50 years and I hope they will go as far as their health and the music will let them...

Simply magical, as if the Doobie Brother’s have never forgotten their roots. Love this so much at a time when we need it so bad! So glad we can count on you guys!

[chrisard]

Still got that classic Doobie sound. Michael McDonald one of the all-time great male vocalists.

[jamesevans]

[nofoolat]

I love the Life without the Doobies would be a

[ardis_karr]

Ahh yes, like coming home. That's how you do it. Can't wait for the whole album.🥰👍❣

[michaelbarry]

Wow, this song is phenomenal. It seems to be a blend of the Doobie's "You Belong to Me" and Mr. McDonald's solo "I Keep Forgettin'"

[kevinscheuller]

Michael’s voice is still great. A little raspier and more mature, and fantastic!

[mattlehmann]

From the first "oooh" @9 seconds in you know the voice instantly!

[robertfulton]

I love that even though they’re a classic group, and they evolve some (as all musicians do), this still FEELS like the Doobie Brothers, If that makes sense. So, so good :)

[michele]

Great album, the band is still writing great music. Love the harmonies on this song, too. And as always, Michael's voice.
