DOOBIE BROTHERS - DARK EYED CAJUN WOMAN | REACTION

[@dlewis5631]

Finally you went to their best album, before Michael Mcdonald. Every song on this album is great!

[@danhartman8582]

Next try - South City Midnight Lady , would a fellow Raider fan stear you wrong . The whole album was fantastic .

[@ScottDeBerg]

South City Midnight Lady, to me, is the best track on the album.

[@angier5775]

I LOVE the Doobs!! Especially their early tunes! South City Midnight Woman Jesus is Just Alright Toulouse Street Another Park Another Sunday are other great deep cuts 🎵🎶

[@ramsin99]

This is only ONE example of why the Doobies were much greater before Tom Johnston left the band and McDonald joined. Completely different sound and vibe. These are the REAL DOOBIE BROS. Sweet Maxine from Stampede is pretty awesome. Song to See You Through from Vices and Habits album is a gem. Keep up the great reactions. You are becoming my favorite!

[@maryannc6313]

Early Doobies are the best Doobies. Time for Black Water and South City Midnight Lady.

[@Gashouse69]

I agree. I like them with M. McDonald, but the pre-McDonald years were their best.

[@cesarnarro6013]

I didn't like them after M. McDonald took over

[@czofthesoil1]

Dark Eyed Cajun Woman is one of the songs that stands out on one of the Doobie Brothers' best albums of all time. You can hear the B.B. King influence throughout this song.

[@sandymiller3577]

Love the Doobie Brothers! Another great song from them "Another Park Another Sunday" is my favorite, you should give it a listen. Keep up the good work and opening people up to music they otherwise wouldn't listen to! 😘

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

wow, forgot about that one, but in re-listening they almost sound like Chicago not the rockin' doobies. But that's a good thing !

[@joemoe765]

Do the whole album, you will love it!

[@michaellombard894]

The blues, Doobie Brothers style. Thanks to all the black blues pioneers. Blessings.

[@johnhoerl7326]

There’s so much more to the Doobies than their greatest hits. Gotta listen to Clear as the Driven Snow next. Pat Simmons has written some amazing tunes.

[@papawinthewoods]

There is absolutely nothing the Doobie Brothers couldn't do. They played every style, incorporated almost any instrument know, had their incredible harmonies, laid it all down on Tiran Porters unbelievable bass lines and a two drummer set, sometimes with bongos and congas! And it never sounded crowded. Anyone only listening to their radio hits are missing out on great songs like this. I've loved "Dark Eyed Cajun Woman" since 1973. There are so many others too. Respond to "Toulouse Street" for a very different Doobies sound and some more of the New Orleans groove. Hard to believe they're a California band.

[@brianm6530]

This album was their third outing and not a mediocre song to be heard. Hope you plan to hear more from it in the future.....take your pick!

[@Malibu1515]

Not a mediocre song in their catalog with Tommy Johnson. They were HUGE before that lounge singer took over.

[@aaronstandingbear]

@@Malibu1515 they shine, both of them no matter what fussy left brainers got to say in their critisizms of two greats. Cant they both be great for God's sake?

[@Malibu1515]

@@aaronstandingbear to you...go for it.

[@robertwalker1803]

This album and Boston’s debut album were the best two albums of all time in my opinion.Third is “ Escape” by Journey. The Doobie Brothers had two great drummers so tight you cannot tell there are two…RIP, Keith Knudsen and Michael Hossack. This song has it all, and the song off this album called “ South City Midnight Lady” is similar and great also.If you listen to this album from start to finish,you will not believe it….Every song a winner.

[@talltulip]

My favorite early Doobies album is "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits." It includes Black Water which is a must listen. But also good are: Eyes of Silver, Another Park Another Sunday, Daughters of the Sea/Flying Cloud, Spirit, and Tell Me What You Want. Honestly, ANY song you choose will be a winner!

[@stevehazlewood2960]

Just a killer song, Tommy is singing with so much soul for a real blues song..

[@robertwalker1803]

Two drummers in sync so well….hitting those cymbals perfectly…harmony,strings,etc. perfectly.

[@aaronstandingbear]

When I first heard this back in 72 it was my favourite song of all time and still does it to me. Brilliant.

[@mikeloomis687]

Those "bluesy" songs gets to you Chod. Jeff Beck, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Led Zep. Can't go wrong.

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

One of their best, known mostly to their fans, as it never got a lot of airplay....

[@jacksaintjack2844]

Just absolutely love the lead singer's voice !!!!!!!!!

[@ToddSauve]

Clearly you are a blues man at heart. This is my favourite Doobies song from my favourite Doobies album. This album is almost 50 years old and sounds as masterly today as it did way back in 1973 when I first heard it. It is Tom Johnston's tribute to BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone." Unreal blues guitar. So tasteful! And such great lyrics. From a time when real rock and blues was played. 🎸🎸🎸💘💘💘😎😎😎

[@alejandromoreno3243]

Before or after...I enjoy all of the Doobies music! Because the musicians showed their musical talent from beginning to end...apples and oranges they're all great!

[@heidie2081]

Really hoping you give South City Midnight Lady from this album a listen. Have a glass of wine on hand when you do!

[@violetflame23]

Tommy Johnston - such a grossly underrated singer and guitarist. Nobody tighter than the Doobs. And yet it took until 2020 for them to be inducted into the Rock Hall.

[@bigjay123]

Im from Louisiana, Been listening to Doobie Brothers for 40+ yrs. Idt I've ever heard this song.😲

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Could never figure out why this song never got air time. It is a top notch song.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

The other hidden gem 💎 on this album, that got no airplay but deserved it, is Clear As the Driven Snow. Fantastic through and through!

[@thomasklempin542]

Saw Doobies almost every summer in late 70s, early 80s at Alpine Valley. Good Times.

[@toshibautoob]

Love it! The Doobie Brothers toured almost constantly in the 1970s and I caught them every time they came to town. What a terrific live band. NOW, I'd like to try to capture your attention with the name of a new artist, and that would Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band with their song Big Eyed Beans from Venus. How about it brother?

[@simplecarnivore]

This song will bring you to tears it's so.good.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

NOW THIS is The Doobie Brothers .... Captain and Me ,10 * album ********

[@davidward3122]

Melissa Ward here. Great song. So many years ago for me. I still have this old lp. Just beautiful. So much to take in on this son. I still have this lp.

[@skydogfan4671]

This is probably my favorite Doobie Brothers song too. The album this is from - Captain and Me is a great album. I really like their Stampede album. It includes Sweet Maxine, Neal’s Fandango, Music Man, Take Me In Your Arms, I Cheat The Hangman, Double Dealin’ Four Flusher and I Been Working On You. If you liked Dark Eyed Cajun Woman, you’ll like the last song.

[@historyguy5942]

Such a great song from early Doobies. Best album pre-Michael McDonald era ("Takin’ it to the Streets" is fantastic!). Also try "South City Midnight Lady.” Love your reactions!

[@crsounddoctor4937]

What a funky & bluesy vibe!!! Love it!!! Thanks for the reaction Chod!!!

[@BLJKPLR]

The lyrics in this song are amazing, one of my absolute all time favorite songs.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Tom Johnston as he said paying tribute to BB King 🎸🎸 you can definitely hear the licks of almost A thrill is gone vibe going on there.

[@joelliebler5690]

Never heard this one before . Great song and this is when The Doobies were at their best!👍🏻❤️☮️🎤🎼🎸

[@donr9861]

This song is on the Captain and Me album, the entire album is worth listening to . Not one bad song on it . One of my favorites

[@ericbloom7289]

The Doobie Brothers are such a top notch band, especially the earlier albums with Tom Johnston singing. Glad to see you digging them so much, I recommend "Sweet Maxine", "Mamaloi", "Ukiah/The Captain and Me", & "Spirit".

[@WMalven]

FINALLY getting to some pre-Michael MacDonald Doobies. They were a far edgier, less vapid band before MM took control. Tom Johnson was the driving force and a much better vocalist. Check out "Taking It to the Streets," "Listen to the Music," "Another Park, Another Sunday."

[@eddiebrooks8388]

The BEST Doobie tune of all time. Sorry Mike, no offense but you tried to step into Tom Johnston's shoes only to find them far too large for you.

[@johnlillis1161]

oh yea Grand Funk Railroad Mean Mistreater or Heart Breaker Live

[@patbreak6513]

The "deep tracks" on their early albums, like this one, are amazing.

[@CajunGemini]

woooo - my favorite Doobies song.

[@tommarin3468]

Being a drummer--you may know The Doobies are another 2 drummer band. "The Captain and Me" is just one of those albums that is great from cover to cover. Always been a favorite.

[@lindalee1712]

We slipped in their hotel n NC around 1979...got all their autographs on the back of my boyfriend's check...lol...South City Midnight Lady Chod!!! Album version...u wont be disappointed 💖😊

[@BenS-eu4es]

I love this song, might be my favourite from that record.

[@Michael-xj6qt]

Great reaction, MY FIRST DOOBIE ALBUM BEFORE CD'S ,AWESOME GREAT SONS ,LOVE EM,🎸🎸🎵🎵🎸🎹🎷🎺🎶🎹🎙🎶🎹🎵😊

[@tcanfield]

So fortunate to see the Bros back in 75’. It was a t an all day festival with 7 big name acts and if it was a “Battle of the Bands”they would have won hands down. They really knew how to bring it !

[@dinoamf5866]

This whole album brings back memories of sitting by a campfire drinking beer in the 70s. Man time flies but the music brings you right back to a point in time. South City Midnight Lady is along these lines.

[@garya7893]

They have many song that are great that did not get the radio play South City Midnight Lady and my fav Song to see you Through

[@rickboltz5059]

Clear as the Driven Snow another song of theirs that didn’t get a lot of playing time but is pure Doobie Bros. ✌️

[@franklassek3132]

This album is terrific, every song, and this is one of the best on the album. Without You is my favorite, along with South City Midnight Lady.

[@steve99gt]

Tom Johnston wrote that as a tribute to BB King

[@dlewis5631]

Listen to the entire album!

[@talltulip]

The Doobie Brothers were originally from San Jose CA (where I grew up). That's the location of the unfinished freeway overpass which appears on the album cover. It remained in that unfinished condition for many years -- not sure how long, but maybe 7 or 8 yrs? During that time, someone would anonymously erect a lighted Christmas tree up there every December. In a way, it was kinda sad when the gov't finally got the necessary funding to complete that interchange of I-280, I-680, and US Hwy 101 in south San Jose.

[@stratcat3216]

Ah yes.. my Favorite Doobie Brothers song.. bar none.

[@rickgarcia8481]

The whole album is fantastic

[@tmr626]

You'll also find two great live versions of their song "Another Park Another Sunday" each posted by: Moon doggy or Tony Hill).

[@arnoldriendeau3072]

Chod, you should do a video on your musical journey on listening to classic rock that opened your eyes that our generation grew up with.

[@davidfinnell1660]

WOW I've never heard this! PLAYLIST! THANKS DUDE !

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

well Dave you got to understand this is when it comes to classic Rock greatest Hits just don't cut the mustard that's why a lot of people say the album cuts are just as good as the hits and The Doobie Brothers are a perfect example that run of albums from two loose Street right on into taking it to the streets.

[@MisterWondrous]

I was hoping someone had reacted to this song voila! There you are! I too acknowledge that this is their best song, objectively speaking, having done all the cipherin'. A similarly underrated song, from around the same timeframe, is Gregg Allman's "Multi-Colored Lady". Tis a similarly smooth and lovely love song about new love. I go for those hyphenated songs.

[@marksummers1700]

a GREAT song from one of my favorite albums... another song on the same album that is amazing, "clear as the driven snow..."

[@sjd5750]

When this album came out my friends and I played the heck out of it for weeks..Love the whole album!

[@14skp]

Here's a few great songs from the same Captain and Me album - Clear as the Driven Snow, Without You, South City Midnight Lady.

[@the3rdjay]

Your getting close. Try South City Midnight Lady.

[@andylawson87]

Clear As The Driven Snow on this same album is worth checking out too! South City Midnight Lady and Another Park Another Sunday are also "must hear" songs!

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

This LP is a minor masters and should be in everyone's album collection. The song "Clear As The Driven Snow", from this record, is a musical journey.

[@chidrums1]

This song goes up another level when they add a saxophone solo. Master level musicianship.

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Ukiah from that album rocks...or the Captain and Me

[@gregwillert9061]

South City Midnight Lady is s must!!

[@JasongCLJ]

You have been blessed. Doobie Brothers. Original - BEFORE M. MCDONALD. THIS MAY BE (debatable) THE BEST SONG IN MODERN ROCK HISTORY. *RELISTEN.* Trust me i would know. This is debatably the best song in modern rock history. Im just an old metal drummer but you better listen to me.

[@JasongCLJ]

I know if youre a drummer you have to Love the Doobies.

[@davidgale7384]

Definitely time for Blackwater ..... We were truly blessed to have been the first to hear and Experience this music..... That experience is.... getting lost in the music. You have missed the ultimate experience.... had a friend who was a DJ at weddings.... We were at the family cottage up near Algonquin Park (north of Lake Ontario)... Sun is about to go down, the beer is cold, burgers on the barbaque.... He boots up his small mobile set-up with the bullhorn tweeters and the Bogan bass cabinets, and put on The Captain and Me..... Not too loud, maybe 7, .......... Heaven..... I thought I was in heaven. Sometimes you might just be selfish and take the whole album in all at once.... Many of them where expected to be listed to that way.,. Dark Side of the Moon, the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Jesus Christ Superstar, Tommy, are the easiest, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Genesis, the albums were set up with a flow, like a good compilation "tape". Crosby Stills Nash and Younge..... Déjà Vu..... When you get the time .... Try it... You'll like it....

[@marckusel5602]

The whole album Chod seriously the whole album.

[@mrnobody3161]

Clear as the Driven Snow. Same Album. This song takes it to another level.

[@joelliebler5690]

The Doobie Brothers cleared the way for Walter and Donald to do their thing as Steely Dan!

[@eriktracy8578]

Just checked into KZbin and saw this pop up on your channel. Instant stop and listen. Great reaction and pretty much matches my own - what a great track! Don't stray too long from revisiting their early catalog - so many great songs!

[@musicairplanes4884]

This song feels so much like The Thrill is Gone by BB King.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

you're absolutely correct and your assumption because Tom Johnston even wrote it simply as a homage to BB King.

[@musicairplanes4884]

@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Thanks for that info.

[@davidbentley145]

I used to trip along to this whole album...such sweet sweet sounds here...Ty brother

[@dlewis5631]

OK, next, Atlanta Rythm Section, "Alien" or "Angel", studio versions. Also Three Dog Night's best song, "Out in the Country".

[@chrissiler6075]

Funky Blues

[@ph.ch.6541]

one of my favorite album

1974 i heard on AFN Wolfman Jack Show at Midnight: Eyes of Silver and Road Angel. its the beginning...

Chod, thanks for a great reaction. 😎 ANY SONG YOU PICK FROM THIS BAND, DO LIVE VERSION, they ROCK live. The Doctor, great groovin' tune. South City Midnight Lady, Blackwater, Rocking Down the Highway, Nobody, Take Me In Your Arms. ☮🖤🤘

[@Gashouse69]

Let's see how many old timers we have here. Who gets this reference? "And which Doobie you be?"

Please, please check out South City Midnight Lady. One of my favorite all time songs. You won't be sorry.

[@chidrums1]

Ordinary man. Another excellent song.

[@thomasripley1548]

Great song ,incredible bass, drums ,everything great....if you havent watched the steely dan documentary on the making of AJA you need to ir will blow your mind........

[@freegracetruthembrace7188]

Toulouse Street , This Album , What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits , and Stampede fill out the pre Michael McDonald . Love some with Michael , but these early efforts are a tad more bluesy and raw .

[@garycontreras5288]

You're right on Brother!

[@gwensnyder8313]

Chod, please, please listen to Black Water; Another Park, Another Sunday; and South City Midnight Lady. We will not steer you wrong. I believe you’ll like pre-Michael McDonald Doobies more. You also need to get back to Three Dog Night, Out in the Country would be my first choice, but there are so many good ones. When I was growing up I never noticed that there was so much organ in their songs. You need to get back to Bread, also, Everything I Own or Sweet Surrender.

[@andythrush3341]

Sweet blues rock. For some reason Clapton came to my mind. This song is in his wheel house! Nice choice of none "hit" song.

[@loisr3970]

Ahh the Doobs! great BBQ tunes right there.......

[@joemoe765]

Is it possible you haven't done Blackwater or South City Midnight?

[@ememnicholas565]

Spent a very hot SC summer in 1973 listening to this album. No A/C, so everyone else was listening too 🤘🏻. You need to do Blackwater!!!

[@kwman69r]

I'm finding this really strange........as I've said before, this is the music I grew up with and have been jam'in to since I was 12. You not just liking but loving the same music as I - just blows me away. I wish I still had my drum kit, I bought it from Sam Ash music store for $399 added a Sabian B8 Cymbal pack, used Pearl Single Bass Drum Double kick pedal set up with 20 pairs of 7A sticks. The tag said it was a Jazz Set..... the hardware was so heavy duty it's really why I bought the set. It was compact, Black and Chrome. I gave it to my youngest son, he told me...... Dad ....I wanna do what you do ! I wanna be a Drummer. I said then you should take band in school so you can learn the right way to perfect the craft. When you graduate High School I'll give you my Drum Kit !!! HE did, being a man of my word so did I, I gave him my Drum Kit. I wish'd I'd had his reaction on video ! LOL I would have loved to bring my kit to you and have ourselves a little drum battle

[@daviddragavon7555]

The more rock n roll songs on this album feature dual drummers!

[@randypowell3374]

One of my favorite Doobs song. Try White Sun.

[@thomasklempin542]

Similar title, another great song. Dark Eyed Woman by Spirit. Chod, you will dig it.☺

[@dt1064]

That whole album is very good. Try "WithoutYou " in the morning to wake you up. Banger.
