EXTD=AMG EXPERT REVIEW: There have been plenty of single-disc Doobie B
EXTD=rothers collections released over the years. There have been two-
EXTD=part vinyl Best of the Doobies, there have been budget-line colle
EXTD=ctions, and there have been OK overviews as well as excellent gen
EXTD=erous discs with all the big hits. There's even been a comprehens
EXTD=ive four-disc box, but what there hasn't been is a double-disc se
EXTD=t -- something that falls between the conciseness of 2001's terri
EXTD=fic Greatest Hits (the first CD to contain all the big hits on on
EXTD=e CD) and 1999's four-disc Long Train Runnin' 1970-2000. That's w
EXTD=hat 2007's The Very Best of the Doobie Brothers is, a double-disc
EXTD= helping of the Doobies' biggest songs from "Listen to the Music"
EXTD= to "The Doctor." Actually, this Very Best stretches a little fur
EXTD=ther than "The Doctor," which arrives five songs from the end, il
EXTD=lustrating the point that for the average listener, this may be j
EXTD=ust a little too generous at 33 tracks. That's a long running tim
EXTD=e, providing room for all the hits plus a bunch of album tracks t
EXTD=hat weren't necessarily on album rock radio, so this may be too m
EXTD=uch for listeners who just want the hits; they should stick to th
EXTD=at 2001 Greatest Hits. But for fans who want a lot of the Doobies
EXTD=' best without investing in either the original albums or the box
EXTD=, this Very Best is welcome.  -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAMAZO

EXTD=rch 18, 2007\nReviewer: randysrodeo.com (Austin, Texas)\nWithout 
EXTD=saying so, what this 2-CD set includes is every Billboard chart s
EXTD=ingle the Doobie Brothers ever notched - something no other album
EXTD= (except their boxed set) can boast. That means that 'Very Best O
EXTD=f' collects songs like 'Eyes Of Silver' (#52, 1974), 'I Cheat The
EXTD= Hangman' (#60, 1975), and 'Wheels Of Fortune' (#87, 1976) that w
EXTD=ere never included on similar previous collections. It even picks
EXTD= up 'Wynken Blynken and Nod' (#76, 1981) from the Sesame Street L
EXTD=P 'In Harmony.' And, two key non-hits ('Rockin' Down The Highway'
EXTD= and 'South City Midnight Lady') get tossed in, plus some stuff f
EXTD=rom the group's latter day albums. \n\nWhat you don't get are eno
EXTD=ugh of the Doobies' great album tracks like 'Spirit' (1974) or 'N
EXTD=othin' But A Heartache' (1977). For those, you'll need to upgrade
EXTD= to the boxed set - which nevertheless omits 'Without You,' a per
EXTD=ennial favorite previously included on 'Best Of The Doobies' and 
EXTD='Greatest Hits.' Go figure....\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nL
EXTD=isten to all of the music, March 18, 2007\nReviewer: Tim Brough "
EXTD=author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States)     \nThe 
EXTD=Doobie Brothers started out life as a greasy California biker ban
EXTD=d and took their name after a fondness for getting high. That eth
EXTD=ic led to big riff rockers like "China Grove" and "Long Train Run
EXTD=nin'," but was lacking in the eventual slick sophistication of Mi
EXTD=chael McDonald's urbane soul. The original 1976 "Best Of The Doob
EXTD=ies" included songs up to "Taking It To The Street," which meant 
EXTD=that the number one "What A Fool Believes" was after the cut off 
EXTD=date. This time The Doobie Brothers recognize the debut album a y
EXTD=ear before "Toulouse Street" by including one song, the acoustica
EXTD=lly flavored "Nobody." \n\nOnce McDonald joined, the band entered
EXTD= a second era and began to move more towards urban soul and Steel
EXTD=y Dan jazz. Tom Johnston split after "Living On The Faultline" ov
EXTD=er the Doobies' new direction with Jeff Baxter and McDonald, and 
EXTD=the resulting "Minute By Minute" bore little resemblance to the m
EXTD=ellow hippy-vibes of "Rocking Down The Highway." \n\nWhat this CD
EXTD= does is successfully chronicle both Johnston's biker bar band an
EXTD=d McDonald's more soul dominated period. When the Doobies broke u
EXTD=p after "One Step Closer," it put the band on ice until a 1989 Do
EXTD=obie Brothers reunion that yielded "Cycles" and a hit in "The Doc
EXTD=tor." The band soldiered on minus McDonald, which meant that John
EXTD=ston and Patrick Simmons were able to regain the steering wheel a
EXTD=nd make bar-band riff-rock once more. (Even if - IMHO - "Cycles" 
EXTD=was pedestrian and "Brotherhood" worse, but "Sibling Rivalry" is 
EXTD=OK.) \n\nFor my money, this double CD rates a full star over the 
EXTD=1976 set by virtue of the extra songs post "Taking It To The Stre
EXTD=ets" and remastered sound. But then again, I totally lost interes
EXTD=t in the band when they started churning out factory made classic
EXTD= rock like "The Doctor." You will also get a few essential songs 
EXTD=dropped from both single disc sets, like "Eyes Of Silver" and "An
EXTD=other Park Another Sunday" (the original A-Side of "Black Water")
EXTD=, and the two-disc set recognizes once again that "South City Mid
EXTD=night Lady" is one of the band's best. Short of the Rhino box-set
EXTD=, this is a solid representation of the Doobies.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM

EXTD=fect, February 16, 2007\nReviewer: Galley (Greenville, South Caro

EXTD=e compilation we have been waiting for. Rhino finally gives The D
EXTD=oobie Brothers the 2-disc compilation they deserve. My only compl
EXTD=aint is that it is missing "Without You" from "The Best of The Do
EXTD=obies" and "One By One" from "The Best Of The Doobies Vol. II". A
EXTD=s one can expect from a Rhino release, the sound quality is top-n
