Rock legends The Doobie Brothers released World Gone Crazy on HOR Records yesterday, their first new album in over ten years. Produced by Ted Templeman, their producer throughout the 1970′s, the new album combines vintage Doobie Brothers harmonies with the latest recording technology, keeping the sound both classic and fresh. “It’s the best thing we’ve done musically in forever,” says founding vocalist Tom Johnston in a recent interview with Billboard.
The album features standout tracks like single “Nobody,” a remake of a song from their 1971 debut album (watch the video), ballad “Far From Home,” “Don’t Say Goodbye” with guest vocals from former member Michael McDonald, and “I Know We Won,” a duet with legendary musician Willie Nelson. A special deluxe edition of the CD includes a 30 minute, career-retrospective DVD, featuring interviews with the band members and footage from the band’s nearly 40 year career. Both editions are available now in stores and online, with a special deluxe bundle that includes a tour t-shirt available at www.DoobieBrothers.net.
On Mon., Sep. 27 The Doobie Brothers, working with AT&T, Cisco and Marriott, broadcasted the World Gone Crazy album release event utilizing Virtual Meetings by Marriott with AT&T and Cisco TelePresence, the most advanced interactive video conferencing technology available in select Marriott properties worldwide.

I have been a loyal Doobie fan since 1972. My first concert at 17 was at Market Square Arean in Indianapolis IN. They opened with Jesus Is Just Alright! Incredible show! I have not missed very many concerts since! Even after Tommy had to take a little time, then I even got his solo album! Love the Doobies! Really want to add this to my collection! Please pick me as the winner.
I would love to see the Doobie Brothers in concert….one of my all time favorite bands. Couldn’t afford any concerts when they toured in my younger days when I was raising 2 kids. Thanks!

My very first concert was the Doobie Brothers. Buffalo, 1975. Have been a fan since before then. Have lots of favorite Doobie songs.
Your music can take me to a place that was fun with no responsibilities. I once again find myself in a similar place and a new cd by Doobie Brothers to make memories to. Thanks
I have loved the Doobie Brothers since the mid 70′s. I saw them in concert, which was my first concert EVER (!) in Virginia Beach, VA., they were great then and still are!
I have always been a loyal “Doobies” fan, boy a free cd REALLY????? I didnt think anything was for FREE!!!! But I am Game!
“What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits” changed my life. “Black Water” showed me the path to four part harmonies. I need this new record to help me the current political environment. I would also like to meet the Doobies.
I love the Doobies – see them every chance I can since 1976. I loved every show. They ALWAYS performed with heart and soul. Since all shows I attended were with my family and friends the Doobies are and always will be a major strand in my life’s weird fabric. I don’t need to win the album – just wanted to share this. Rock on! PS – Great new music too – love it.
Saw the Doobies in concert for the 12th time this August. Great memories and great music!
I’m a Doobie, he’s a Doobie, she’s a Doobie, we’re all Doobies……wouldn’t you like to be a Doobie too? Keep on rockin’ down the highway brothers!
I have been a Doobie Brothers fan since the 70′s. “Black Water” was a song the love of my life and I would sing back in 1975. Unfortunately, the love my life passed away this past July 26, 2010. It would be a honor to have the new CD and would certainly help with the healing.
I deserve this CD because I like “Doobies” plus i posted this link
