Minute by Minute

The Doobie Brothers

The definitive blue-eyed soul record. Polished electric pianos, syncopated grooves, and Michael McDonald’s unmistakable baritone define this California classic.

Find on Amazon

The smoothest soul-rock hybrid ever cut to tape, featuring the ultimate '70s keyboard hook.

Sophisticated, soulful, and meticulously polished with an underlying autumnal melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic bouncing electric piano riff that opens What a Fool Believes, instantly locking into a syncopated groove.
The sudden shift to a high-speed bluegrass banjo showcase on the instrumental Steamer Lane Breakdown.
The weary, soulful vocal delivery on the title track that perfectly captures the tension of a relationship on the brink.
