Doobie Brothers - World Gone Crazy

Released in 2010 after a ten year hiatus, I think the album sounds good. Maybe they had needed the break - there are serious songs and some quite emotionally stirring ballads sitting cheek by jowl with good ol' rock n roll. Quite well balanced IMHO and it comes across as though they were having a bit of fun. By this stage, they would know exactly what they were doing, musically speaking - they sit easy together. As an aside, there is a rumour of a new album sometime this year.
Coupla guests making an appearance on a few tracks. These are some stand outs, for me ...
"I Know We Won" with Willie Nelson ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi46aeorR3A
"Old Juarez" - channelling Santana a wee bit, maybe?? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLO_SIHwVhE
"Don't Say Goodbye" - Michael McDonald here ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9GEipcx5Eg
"Far From Home" - get out the tissues ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkYn8nfHhb8
"Chateau" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMhmwQ5z-e4
A remake of "Nobody" - gotta love the video ...
