Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as Tom Johnston's final fully integrated effort with the group before illness necessitated Michael McDonald's arrival, 'Stampede' perfectly encapsulates The Doobie Brothers' driving, blues-rock boogie sound. Incorporating prominent Memphis-style horn sections and intricate acoustic picking, the album balances incredibly tight musicianship with massive radio appeal.
