Few bands spoke of the innocent freedom of the 1970s quite like the Doobie Brothers. The San Jose-born group transcended the hippie/free love moment to crest the California-rock promise of open roads, feathered hair, and throwing your heart to the wind. Their original sound was a blend of guitarist Tom Johnston’s driving rock/soul tilt, drummer John Hartman’s post–Moby Grape/Skip Spence polyglot thump, and Patrick Simmons’ folk/country blues picking.
