My new favorite old song.

And notice how the bass is the most-forward instrument!

I've been a fan of the Doobies* since I can remember. Even after their heyday, they made a lasting impression on me when they gave a concert that simply killed for two solid hours. Full on professionals, to be sure.

By chance, I re-discovered Takin' It To The Streets on shitty Phoenix radio recently, and am listening with a brand new ear. Bassists will should love it. No, it's not the most complex part, but it is the most important part of the song, paring perfectly with each other part and evolving to sheer awesomeness as the tune progresses.

Put on your headphones. Close your eyes. And listen again, perhaps for the first time.

* Take that as you will...
