Primo Cuts
Doobie's Choice is a great idea that I wish more band's would
follow. Instead of the standard hits compilation, the band selects their
favorite songs and twenty of them appear on the disk. Almost all the songs were
never released as singles and the few that were like "Another Park, Another
Saturday" and "Little Darling" barely squeaked into the Top 40 and are hardly
hits. Most the songs come from the early days of the band and not the late 70's
configuration that has a strong Michael McDonald influence. The band also takes
some songs that are from recent reunions like the album's opener, "Divided
Highway" from their Brotherhood album. Some strong tracks include "Sweet
Maxine", "Chinatown", "South City Midnight Lady" and "Toulouse Street". The band
does get a bit obscure with some tracks like "Cotton Mouth", "Nothin' But A
Heartache" and "don't Stop Watchin' The Wheels", but the overall approach is
superb.
