Title: My favorite from the Michael McDonald era
Product review: Takin' It To The Streets is Michael McDonald's debut with the Doobie Brothers. It is with this album that the band moved away from the party-hard rockin' sound of their previous albums to a more R&B soul type of sound.But as another reviewer pointed out, it is a combination of both styles that is incorporated in this album. Tom Johnston's final effort with the band shows the old style perfectly (Turn It Loose), while the rest of the record tends to lean toward the R&B sound that Michael McDonald brought to the band on tracks like the title track and It Keeps You Runnin'.Other Highlights include Wheels of Fortune, Rio, and Carry me Away. I also dig Tiran Porter's For Someone Special.Bottom Line: A great album to get into.
