スピード注意!
ずっと続く直線道路、真っ青な空と澄んだ空気を感じながら雄大な光景を視界に入れ緩やかなコーナリングにハンドルを切る、車密度の少なさも心地良い・・・、北海道のハイウェイ・・・。
半年閉ざされた北海道(もちろん冬季も運転できるけれど)、今年もいよいよドライブの季節がやって来た。
北海道のハイウェイには、ドゥービー・ブラザーズがよく似合う。
この2010年の再活動盤の素晴らしさ!
ファースト・シングルのリメイク録音「NOBODY」を筆頭に、テッド・テンプルマンが共同プロデュースし豪華なサウンド・プロダクションを持つこの『World Gone Crazy』、マイケル・マクドナルドやウィリー・ネルソン、ビル・ペイン等々も参加している充実作だ。
豪快さ(「CHATEAU」、「YOUNG MAN'S GAME」、「MY BABY」)、琴線に触れる繊細さ(「FAR FROM HOME」、「I KNOW WE WON」)、テックスメックス・テイストの楽しさ(「WORLD GONE CRAZY」、「OLD JUAREZ」)・・・、ドゥービーの様々な音楽スタイルが豊なメロディーとコンテンポラリーな音で奏でられる、これ以上何を望むというのだろう?
トム・ジョンストン絶好調!発売当時は『スタンピード』の現代版と思ったが、今はそういう比較は無しにこの『World Gone Crazy』を楽しんでいる。
すぐに新作が出ると思っていたが、なかなか出ないのは様々な事情があるのであろうか・・・。
また、結局タイラン・ポーター在籍時の全盛期ライブ音源は未だに未発表だが、セットであるDVD(視聴OK)の約31分のバンドの歴史を振り返る映像を見れば、絶対音源無い訳はないと思ってしまう・・・、聴きたい!
ちりばめられた、過去のライブ・オフ・ステージ・プライベート・おふざけ・・、『World Gone Crazy』の録音風景、「NOBODY」のMV等々を収録したDVDも大変充実したものだ。
おすすめ!おっと、アクセル踏み込みすぎちゃいけねえ・・・。

10年発表の14作目。前作より10年振りとなった作品だが、大御所ウィリー・ネルソン、そして約28年振りにマイケル・マクドナルドがゲストながら1曲ずつヴォーカルを担当した話題作。内容も充実しており、全13曲すべてがトムとパットが中心となったオリジナル曲。そしてプロデュースもドゥービーズにとってもお馴染みのテッド・テンプルマン(楽曲もメンバーと共作している)が担当とかつてのファンなら聞く前から涙ものの作品ということになろう。メンバーはトム、パット、ジョン・マクフィー、マイケル・ホザックの4人になってしまったが、前作でゲスト扱いながら曲作り/キーボード/ヴォーカルと大活躍していたガイ・アリスンは本作でも全面的に参加。他にもビル・ペイン(k)、ボブ・グラウブ(b)、キム・バラード(p) ら他多数のゲストが迎えられている。
1.はステイール・ドラムの入ったトロピカルなソウル・チューン。ワールド・ミュージック風なバック・コーラスなどを加えて新味を出しているが、何よりも突き抜けるような爽やかさとポップなメロディ、そして衰えを知らないトムのヴォーカルが素晴しい。2.はヘヴィなギターと軽快なピアノを導入したいかにもドゥービーズなハード・ロッキン・ナンバー。これは往年のファンでも唸るだろう。カッコ良い。3.はドブロやバンジョーを中心にしたメロウなイントロダクションには前作からの流れも感じさせるが、ヴォーカルが入ると全盛期を思わせるマイナー調のカントリー・ロックとなる。中期のアルバムに入っていても全く違和感のない仕上がりにはむしろ驚くほどである。13.は露骨にドナルド・フェイゲンなソウル・レゲエ。
前作はややソフティケイトされたメロウな作品だったが、本作ではそのカラーを払拭しあえて全盛期のサウンドを狙った印象を受ける。したがって極めて安定したドゥービーズらしい親しみやすい作品となっており、ロック色の強い若々しい演奏は聞いていても清々しい。再結成作としては『CYCLES』に匹敵する佳作。

曲良し、バンドのブルーヴ良好、ボーカルハーモニー最高。
フィドルやオルガン、ホーン、ウーリッツゥアー等々華やかなサウンドに歯切れのよいエレキギター、疾走感のあるロックンロールが絶妙だ。
やはりDoobie Brothersは非常にアメリカ的な娯楽音楽。
ウェストコーストの醍醐味を味わえる良質のバンドだ。
こういった単なる娯楽のひとつロックに異常なまでの完成度と大衆性、良い意味でのコマーシャルさを追及してしまうアメリカの音楽にいつも唸らされてしまう。
しかも自分達の中に流れるトラディショナルルーツをここまで昇華させているのだから本物は違う。
特に一時期のウェストコーストロックがそうであったように、彼らの音楽はとことん一流のアメリカンロックだ。
単純に聴いていて満足し得るロック。

10年ぶりの新作ということで期待と不安で届いたCDを再生。1曲目ではちょいモータウンぽさを感じ、2曲目でややロックしてきたなと... そして3曲目のイントロのスライドを聴いた瞬間にこれはクルぞとワクワクしていたら、見事に期待を裏切らない王道のDoobie Brothers的サウンドで大満足。その後は盛り上がりにやや欠けるなと感じながらも心地よく聴けるアルバムなので買って損はないと思います。3曲目のNobodyがあまりにも素晴らしいのでこの一曲だけでも価値はあると思います。 ボーナスDVDにはNobodyのPVが収録されていて70年代のツアーからの8mm映像が曲の背景になっているのが感動的です。やっぱりDoobie Brothersはいいバンドだったなあとしみじみ感じながら昔のアルバムを取り出して聴く今日この頃です。Nobodyが良かったのはファーストアルバムに収録されていた曲を今の楽器や録音技術で完璧にしたからなのですね。今現在このような音作りができるのであれば、アルバムの残りの曲も同じように突っ走ってほしかったなあというのが心残りです。ところで全然関係ないけど20年ぶりのBachman & Turnerの新作はかなり良いと思います。

表題作はチャイナグローブに匹敵する名曲!しかし歌詞が貧困層のやるせなさを綴り続けるだけのもの。売る気あるのか?ドゥービー!ジョンストンのコブシの効いたボーカルも健在だし、ドライビングに最高な爽快なsound。でもTOEIC600超えの洋楽ファンなら、歌詞で不快に!勿体ないことこの上ない。

Young Man's Game? I don't think so
2011年2月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Fantastic album. Any Doobies fan has to have it! In what sounds sort of like a sequel to "Listen to the Music," Tom Johnston declares that "now they say that it's [rock and roll] a young man's game, and that's who is burnin' the flame, but they seem to forget who shot the rocket out of the hole." And, "I'll tell ya what don't work for me, the crazy ideology that says playin' that rock and roll is just a young man's game." And the Doobies blast that myth with this album, bringing back one of their original hits for an incredible update. Back awhile ago, when the Eagles got back together, they were amazed that they could get back so quickly, that they were better singers and players than back when they were young. It is the same with the Doobies. That they can make great rock and roll is a given. I remember seeing the band in concert many years ago: they just got up and played, and they were an incredibly tight live act. Well, they sure haven't lost anything. In fact, Tom Johnston's voice is better than ever -- he is a bit more restrained without losing the power and punch. Pat Simmons voice has definitely changed, sounding maybe a bit lower in pitch with more vibrato, but it is every bit as good as ever, just maybe a bit different. These guys prove that they can still write, play, and sing and sound to me like they are at the top of their game. They are smart guys, too. Every band needs a John McFee, a guy who can play anything with strings and can add background, drive solos, or anything in between without getting into Pat's or Tom's way when they play lead. And those two guys can still play great guitar. They have pulled in some great musicians, especially Billy Payne with some incredible keyboards and piano.
"Nobody" was one of their first hits, and for this album, John McFee and Pat Simmons wrote a long intro for resonator/slide and acoustic guitar, but it remains a Tom Johnston song. This version is so rich with extra sound and fantastic playing that it is even better than the original. I think that an objective and honest critic, even one who did not especially like the music, would have to say that this band has exceptional playing and singing talent. The return of Ted Templemann as producer seems to have been a great reunion.
There are two versions of the album. The Deluxe version has two additional tracks (both of the same quality as the rest of the songs) and a DVD with a way-too-short video of 30 some years of footage and a video of "Nobody." I agree with an earlier reviewer that this version, even without the DVD is worthwhile for the two bonus tracks. And the DVD is fun, but it leaves you wanting more footage. Get this album, folks!

Fantastic - Simply Fantastic

The latest Doobie Brothers entry, "World Gone Crazy" is simply that - Fantastic. The writing of Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons is classic Doobies all the way. The voices are there, the harmonies are there, the musicianship is there. What you hear is a superb seasoned band playing tighter than ever.
Appearing on various tracks along with long-time Doobies Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John McFee and the late Michael Hossack are guest musicians including former Doobie Michael McDonald, Country legend Willie Nelson, Mark Russo (Yellow Jackets) and Mic Gillette (Tower of Power) on horns, and Greg Bissonette on
drums.
The tracks all have the classic Doobie Brothers sound and cover a wide range of styles.
The Reggae influenced "A Brighter Day" and rocker "Chateau" lead off followed by a true Doobie Brother classic, "Nobody" from their very first album, here getting an updated and energetic treatment. The title track, "World Gone Crazy" follows with Tom Johnston's strong lead vocals.
"Far from home" and "Little Prayer" are softer, acoustic oriented tracks with fine writing and lead singing by Pat Simmons.
Young Man's Game" is a straight rocker with a Bob Seeger - "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" feel but given a full Doobie Brothers treatment.
"Don't Say Goodbye" features the vocals of Pat Simmons and former Doobie Michael MacDonald. It has a smoother, soft jazz feel to it like something from "Living on the Fault Line".
"My Baby" is a straight ahead blues a'la Doobies.
The Latin-tinged Tex-Mex track "Old Juarez" there are bits of Santana, Malo and El Chicano flavoring another great Tom Johnston track.
On "I Know We Won" Pat Simmons shares the writing credit and vocals with Willie Nelson.
Nice slide guitar work from John McFee on "Law Dogs" gives the track a kind of backwoods bayou feel.
"New York Dream" features the horns of Mark Russo and Mic Gillette with a funkier track reminiscent of Tower of Power.
The accompianying DVD contains a 30 minute documentary covering the career of the Doobie Brothers as well as an insight into the making of this album, "World Gone Crazy". It also contains the complete music video for "Nobody". IMHO the expanded edition of this CD is well worth the price of admisson.
There is not a bad (or even mediocre) track to be found on this CD and there is literally something for everyone. This is easily my favorite Doobie Brothers album since "Stampede" from their classic stuff of the 70s. The vocals are full and harmonic while the musicianship is tight, mature, energetic and inspired.
Fantastic, indeed.

Ten years on from their last album, the Doobie Brothers turn full circle and reunite with their original producer Ted Templeman who was at the helm for all their famous hits in the 1970s and early eighties. It's an inspired move.
Sounding unmistakeably like the Doobies of old but at the same time notably flexing their muscles in fresh musical directions, "World Gone Crazy" is the work of a band showing few discernible signs of ageing despite a career spanning a remarkable forty years.
"Nobody" is a muscular reworking of the band's first ever single; this time you can hear the rhythm section. "Old Juarez" sounds like something Carlos Santana might have dashed off back in the days before he became satisfied with simply being a guest on his own albums, while Willie Nelson duets on "I Know We Won", one of several touching Pat Simmons ballads on offer. Tom Johnston delves deep into the blues for "Law Dogs" and "New York Dream" and, heavens, were those really Caribbean rhythms on the gospel-flavoured "A Brighter Day"?
The band's most successful period coincided with the arrival of Michael McDonald in the mid-seventies, leading to a succession of outstanding albums spawning some of their biggest hits, commencing with 1976's "Takin' It To The Streets" and continuing through 1980's "One Step Closer". McDonald's rollicking piano style and unmistakeably soulful vocals took the band in an altogether jazzier, R&B, direction, away from its country rock origins. And although, following an extended and enforced absence through illness, the returning Johnston led the reformed Doobies back whence they came, there are distinct traces of the McDonald era in evidence here, such as the rousing piano flourishes on the title track. And then, what do you know, the great man himself turns up to add vocals on Simmons' jazzy but understated "Don't Say Goodbye", one of the strongest cuts on this new record.
With the songwriting burden now resting squarely on Simmons' and Johnston's shoulders, despite the overall strength of the material I did still find myself missing the extra variety provided by the occasional contributions of other band members, most recently the sadly-deceased Keith Knudsen. But it's not a major flaw and on the whole Templeman helps ensure that, as always, the band's quality-control threshold remains high.
The Doobies back on top form, and a bonus DVD too. Who could ask for more?

Review Gone Crazy
2017年3月17日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Is it me, or is there less good music being made in recent years? I find it more and more difficult to discover good new stuff. Often I shall delve into old bands that I've loved from the past, to find they have "developed" into technically correct, soulless pastiches of their former selves making instantly forgettable new music.
Not so here! Tom Johnston has not only successfully taken care of his hair and impressive moustache, but more importantly, his voice. He sounds as strong and subtle as 40 years ago! His guitar work similarly stands up well too. Patrick Simmons still looks like you want to buy him a pie or two, but his guitar work, as always, greatly compliments Johnston's. The multi-instrumentalist John McFee blends in perfectly and still looks the baby of the group (which I suppose he is). Michael Hossack is the centre of everything on his drums, which the other players hang their tunes from. He passed away in 2012, a couple of years after this album was finished I understand. RIP.
But the music here is the thing. Very reminiscent of their early '70's sound, we are treated to some brilliant songs, weaving rock, country, harmonies and real tunes together, creating a style and sound at the same time still novel and fresh. There's nobody here trying to eke out another payday from their past. They have taken that past and moved on with it. There's a nod to that past with a re-working of "Nobody" from their first album but all the other tracks are new.
If you liked the Doobies of old, well here's a great helping of it. But it's new! Hits the spot for me.
