I'm walkin' in shadows, I cannot see
Faces, they smile when I fall or flee
Doors without windows all shuttered tight again

I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way
I just might pass this way again

The night she is hot, Creole girls they sing
My heart, it is pounding, my ears they ring
The spell has been cast down in New Orleans again

I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way
I just might pass this way again

Locked in a room down in New Orleans
My blood is a flowin' fast
Locked in a room down in New Orleans
My blood is a flowin' fast

The night she is hot, Creole girls they sing
My heart, it is pounding, my ears they ring
The spell has been cast down in New Orleans
My blood is a flowin' fast

Never could get into the Doobie Brothers…blame it on the regular beating of AM/FM radio waves that played only two songs of from their expanse. This song, thanks to RP, is precisely why I tune in…liking the boys here. Nicely done!

first I was recognizing an american music scene at all was 71, as I was listening AFN with Wolfman Jack.

Not mine. I have never liked his vocals. I think he ruined the Doobies when he joined. I didn't think they needed another vocalist. I couldn't stand Taking it to the Streets. I had a chance to see them live late summer last year. I asked if he was involved and when I found out he was, I passed.  I also found that Johnston was healing after some injury or surgery, so that was a double no!

Hello Goldensmiths,
taking your friendly advice switching over from "rockmix" to "mellowmix" I have to say "Thanks a lot"! It's worth it, every single note.
Your's sincerely, Peter J.

I was based in the Frankfurt area, Germany, at this time, always listening to Wolfman Jack at AFN, and I felt much more grown up than my school peers, who still listened Beatles and "such softy sound". This was my first time getting in touch with them, and what I learned was there is much more music on this planet.

I went to the same concert...caught a guitar pick thrown out to me by Patrick Simmons.  I was sixteen and felt touched by God.  I was also living on Salt Spring Island in the summers with my best friend and our horses.  Her family owned a resort at Beaver Point.  Still do I believe, and yes...clothing optional, long lazy summer days playing crib in wooden lounge chairs, rowing along the shore, drifting into coves watching undersea life nibble at my trailing hand, sun-warmed beefsteak tomato sandwiches, Gran's fresh apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese melting on top, aimless rides through undeveloped sheep pasture and old forests, Valdy playing  impromptu evenings at Fulford Hall.  Life was sweet in a way I understand only now.

I really got into the Doobies a little later on... Late 70's/early 80's. But, hearing this earlier album.... Wow! Thanks for putting this into play, B & R!

This is a great example of the beautiful vocals the Doobies produced in so many songs prior to the Michael McDonald era.  I just couldn't keep the faith after they transitioned to Mr. McDonald. I realize he has a large fan base, but for me the beauty of the music was gone.

I used to live next door to these guys when I went to San Jose State University they would practice all day long driving everybody crazy and then go up to the Chateau liberte in the Santa Cruz mountains to play. Lost my girlfriend Olga to TJ. Well worth it for all the wonderful music they've given us. Talk about unrecognized diversity listen to Wynken Blinken and Nog then compare that to the handful of songs you only get to hear on the usual Airways

I got this for xmess 1972 from my mom. I was 12. She obviously just asked a Sam the Record Man saleskid what was popular and had zero idea what it was. For all the big radio hits action of Listen to the Music and Rockin Down the Highway, this song remains one of my favourite tracks. They had such a different feel before Michal MacDonald took the reins.

Got to see the Doobie Brothers perform this album and "The Captain and Me" in their entirety in track order at the Beacon Theater in NYC couple of weeks ago.

Virtuoso musicians. Great song writers. Get beyond their admittedly overplayed hits from the 70's and 80's and there a lot of gems like this in their catalog. Try "Clear As The Driven Snow" from "Captain".

Isn't it?  I've been a DB fan since, well since before my first "real" concert when they opened for Steve Miller Band (although my bud and I missed most of the DB Show b/c he didn't know who they were and didn't tell me there was an opening act) back in 1995.

I did just go 8→9 on this today, after a great listening of it over Memorial Day weekend. I had to go back and forth to my bro-in-law's house, a path I've been driving since 1998, and the lyrics seemed to be describing my movements well

"I just might pass this way, I just might pass this way again "

Long Live RP!!

The DBs had such a different sound before Michael MacDonald, kind of like Fleetwood Mack before Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks became their driving force, although they both did end up selling a lot more records with new sound.

In 1972, the French Quarter stretch would have been full of head shops (they sprung up like, um...mushrooms after Easy Rider came out) and crash pads, so that's my guess.

Mike McDonald was the downfall of the Doobies and every Steely Dan track his moaning voice appears on.

Yes, the vocals do sound a little like the Moody Blues.

Not that fond of The Doobie Brothers—probably due to excessive air play of some songs—but this one is quite likeable.

Oh, I agree, Kurt!  There are many good songs on the album. It's just it came out during my senior year of high school and I had a long drive with only an AM radio to keep me company. The Doobie's Top-40 hits were played incessantly. If I hear China Grove one more time before I die it will be too many.

I used to blast this album out the window of my dorm room at OSU (Oregon) back in the day. I wanted to share it w/everyone! They did put out some good music...and I knew "Miss Perkins" from "China Grove". Laurie is the older sister of a friend of mine. She lived next door to them, and she would walk by their window every day on the way to the bus for work. True story.

Flashback ... elementary school student riding the bus to school in the morning, listening tol the "cool" high school kids in the chorus harmonizing to this song.  I was so in awe of them.  Come to think of it, they were really good! {#Sunny}

Oh yeah, forgot all about the naked ladies liner photo.  Gave my mom fits, as I recall. "Oh, why did they have to put THAT photo in there?" was her inquiry!  :-)

Love this tune.  I see Cheat The Hangman in the library, too —- another classic.

The Doobies' Rockin Down The Highway DVD is one of the best concert videos you'll see by anybody.

Haven't heard this in forever!  Love it.  It was a staple on my mix/car tapes for years.

One of my faves from the 70's.  Such a great and under-rated album.  Nice, Bill!  :-)

Probably my absolutely favourite DB's song.  Haunting...
