 An avalanche race for just over three minutes, without taking prisoners, one of the most rock things I’ve ever heard, practically ultra-punk if it weren’t for the fact that these guys can play.

 "Twin Barrels Burning sounds decidedly foreign... You have to be an expert in the group’s affairs to grasp the few common nuances."

 Laurie Wisefield has a voice... three times more gritty and determined than anyone else who had taken on this challenge in Wishbone Ash before him.

Wishbone Ash's 'Twin Barrels Burning' marks a significant shift from their 1970s melodic rock to a harder, more immediate 1980s hard rock style. Featuring gritty vocals by Laurie Wisefield and a powerful bass presence by Trevor Bolder, this album delivers compact, catchy songs that focus on raw energy over complexity. Though some production choices reflect typical 80s excesses, the album remains appealing for fans seeking straightforward rock. It captures a transitional phase in the band's long career. Listen to 'Twin Barrels Burning' and experience Wishbone Ash's bold 80s hard rock transformation today!

 The album is decent, dignified. Nothing historical, but three or four tracks are worth purchasing.

 The pinnacle of the album, in my opinion, is the semi-ballad "Where In The World," due to the beautiful atmosphere surrounding the verses, supported by acoustic guitars and sung by Moore.

BBM's 1994 album Around The Next Dream features Gary Moore, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker delivering a mature and powerful blues rock experience. Although less psychedelic than Cream, the album offers several standout tracks showcasing expressive vocals and impressive guitar work. Baker's drumming is more subdued, focusing on rhythm support. Highlights include 'Where In The World,' 'Why Does Love Have To Go Wrong?,' and 'Naked Flame.' While not groundbreaking, the album is a respectable work by veteran British blues musicians. Listen to BBM's Around The Next Dream and experience a unique blend of veteran blues rock mastery and powerful guitar performances.

 "Falling In Between should be counted among one of the most substantial and enjoyable works of the fifteen more or less released since 1978 until today."

 Many in reality paid more attention to the dazzling ensemble sound, the impeccable bass/drum groove, and the particular feeling created by the work of the two lead guitars than to the out-of-tune, shadowy, and fascinating rants of the ultra-metropolitan bisexual junkie.

 The sound is round, creamy, rich. Hunter and Dick Wagner’s guitars unleash in proto-punk and pre-glam rock, transforming them into sonorous melodic hard rock.

 McDonald's voice is so distinctive and important that it makes the Doobie Brothers' brand almost unrecognizable.

 For many others... the appreciation goes to both incarnations of the group, but I side with the former: McDonald is a fine composer and a voice that cannot go unnoticed, but my undying love goes to Johnston’s Doobie Brothers.

This review highlights the Doobie Brothers' pivotal transition during the making of their sixth album, caused by Tom Johnston's illness. Michael McDonald's debut introduced a shift toward rhythm & blues and jazz pop, altering the band's classic rock identity. While the album is praised for its melodic richness, the change disappointed some longtime fans. The review values both eras but favors Johnston's original sound over McDonald's influence. Explore the Doobie Brothers' landmark album and hear the unique blend of rock and soul that shaped their legacy!

Stampede, the Doobie Brothers' fifth album from 1975, marks a shift towards a richer and more mature sound. The addition of guitarist Jeff Baxter brings jazzy complexity, while string and horn arrangements add sophistication. Though less raw than earlier work, the album delivers powerful rock, blues, and country influences. Highlights include the energetic cover 'Rock Me in Your Arms' and the acoustic blues gem 'Rainy Day Crossroads Blues.' The album balances commercial appeal with musical ambition. Explore the Doobie Brothers' Stampede for rich guitars, soulful rhythms, and classic 70s rock vibes!
