About this album

Takin' It To The Streets is the album that transformed The Doobie Brothers’ sound and broadened their audience. Released in 1976, it marked Michael McDonald’s arrival as lead vocalist and songwriter, replacing the group’s earlier country-rock lean with a smoother, soul-inflected pop rock style. The title track became one of the band’s defining songs, while the album’s polished arrangements and tight harmonies helped set the template for their later success. A commercial turning point, it showed the group adapting without losing their melodic instinct, and remains one of the most important entries in their catalogue.
