The Doobie Brothers FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 15, 2010 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT & BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENT THE DOOBIE BROTHERS FRIDAY, AUGUST 20 – RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE SATURDAY, AUGUST 21 – RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE The Doobie Brothers are one of the few American music groups that have been able to achieve a phenomenal level of success and sustain it for over four decades. The band was formed in 1969 by lead singer-guitarist- songwriter, Tom Johnston and drummer, John Hartman who teamed up with bass player, Dave Shogren and singer-guitarist-songwriter, Patrick Simmons. In 1971, they released their self-titled album and although the album failed to chart, the lead song “Nobody” became their first single. The band’s second album, Toulouse Street was one of their most successful albums and featured such hits as “Listen To The Music” and “Jesus Is Just Alright.” Michael McDonald then joined the band in 1975 when three years later, he partnered with musician Kenny Loggins and co-wrote the song “What A Fool Believes” for their eighth studio album, Minute By Minute. The song became the group’s second #1 single and was so popular that it earned the writing duo a Grammy Award for Record of The Year while the album spent five weeks at the top of the music charts. In total, the band has sold over 22 million records from the 1970’s to present day. Over the years, The Doobie Brothers’ music has evolved from a country/blues base into a sound emphasizing everything from R&B and jazz elements to guitar fueled rockers like “China Grove” and “Long Train Running” and the folky chart topper, “Black Water.” They have continually defied categorization while maintaining their signature sound … The Doobie Brothers is one band who will continue to rock well into the future.

    These labels are designed to print on the NEATO 180955 pre-perforated cd labels & card stock! They include appoximately 1/4 inch extra “bleed” around the perforations, in order to account for small differences in printers and software issues. If you print these labels on PLAIN PAPER, you will need to trim the extra bleed area away or they will not fit. Additionally, you should print these with Adobe Acrobat 7 (older versions may not produce the correct results), and you MUST make sure that the PAGE SCALING option is set to “NONE”. If you have PAGE SCALING set to “Fit To Printer Margins” or “Reduce to Printer Margins”, the graphics will not print at the correct size for the standard jewel case.

    MODERN DRUMMER VOL. 4 NO. 4 FEATURES: KEITH KNUDSEN and CHET MCCRACKEN Keith Knudsen and Chet McCracken, drummers for the pop- ular Doobie Brothers, relate how the advantages outweigh the difficulties working in a two drummer situation. The pair also evaluate their own performance styles and preferences within the musical context of the band. 12 JOE COCUZZO Having worked professionally since the age of 19, Joe Co- cuzzo has an abundance of musical knowledge. His respect for and understanding of the drummer's position within the music has prepared him for affiliations with Buddy DeFranco, Gary McFarland, Don Ellis, Woody Herman and Tony Bennett. 20 ED GREENE Ed Greene has the distinction of being one of Los Angeles' hottest studio drummers. Greene explains what it's like to work in the studios while trying to keep your personal musical goals alive, and what the responsibilities of a studio musician entail. He also speaks on the methods used in a recording studio and how the drums are appropriately adjusted for each session. 29 THE GREAT JAZZ DRUMMERS, INSIDE STAR INSTRUMENTS 26 PART II 16 MORRIS LANG: N.Y.

  • BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BOBBY CHARLES LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Bobby Charles was born Robert Charles Guidry on 21st February 1938 in Abbeville, Louisiana. A native Cajun himself, he recalled that his life “changed for ever” when he re-tuned his parents’ radio set from a local Cajun station to one playing records by Fats Domino. Most successful as a songwriter, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of swamp pop. His own vocal style was laidback and drawling. His biggest successes were songs other artists covered, such as ‘See You Later Alligator’ by Bill Haley & His Comets; ‘Walking To New Orleans’ by Fats Domino - with whom he recorded a duet of the same song in the 1990s - and ‘(I Don’t Know Why) But I Do’ by Clarence “Frogman” Henry. It allowed him to live off the song-writing royalties for the rest of his life! No albums were by him released in this period. Two other well-known compositions are ‘The Jealous Kind’, recorded by Joe Cocker, and ‘Tennessee Blues’ by Kris. Disenchanted with the music business, Bobby disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1960s but returned in 1972 with a self-titled album on the Bearsville label on which he was accompanied by Rick Danko and several other members of the Band and Dr John. Bobby later made a rare live appearance as a guest singer on stage at The Last Waltz, the 1976 farewell concert of the Band, although his contribution was cut from Martin Scorsese’s film of the event. Bobby Charles returned to the studio in later years, recording a European-only album called Clean Water in 1987.
