In the same league during the 1970s as the Eagles, Allman Brothers, and Little Feat, the Doobie Brothers became a torchbearer of the classic California rock sound that helped music fans make a smooth transition out of the rocky late '60s and into a mellower, laissez-faire era defined not by peacenik politics but alluring tunes. Best of The Doobies is the first greatest hits collection from the band originally issued by Warner Bros. Records at the height of their powers in November 1976. Gathering hits from 1972's Toulouse Street through to 1976's Takin' It to the Streets, the diamond certified 10-song set showcases such timeless smashes as "China Grove," "Takin' It to the Streets," "Listen To The Music," "Black Water" and "Jesus Is Just Alright."
