World Gone Crazy ReviewA terrific album from the Doobies, "World Gone Crazy" finds both Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons turning in some of their finest songs in this reunion with long time producer Ted Templeman. Johnston has some of his finest songs here in quite some time and the deluxe edition bonus track "New York Dream" with its R&B horn arrangement is essential for Doobies fans. The band's remake of "Nobody" (from their very first album) also sparkles with a new guitar intro that Simmons and John McFee came up with for the song. Johnston's voice has deepened a bit with time and the arrangement/performance here along with Johnston's vocal improve on the original version.
Former Doobie Michael McDonald provides harmony and background vocals on Pat Simmons' "Don't Say Goodbye" while Willie Nelson co-writes and sings with Pat on "I Know We Won". Both are terrific songs from Simmons and this is probably the best album with both Johnston and Simmons in the line up since "Stampede". Having Ted Templeman in the chair as producer makes all the difference since he instinctively plays to the band's strengths (as he always has). The mastering for this disc is pretty good avoiding the harsh compression of many contemporary releases.
The DVD includes a short documentary on the band co-directed by Pat Simmons. While it includes some terrific vintage footage and interviews with Simmons, Johnston, McFee and McDonald (as well as brief snippets of the band when they appeared on the TV show "What's Happening!", "The Dinah Shore Show" as guests, appearences on "The Tonight Show" and other TV appearances) these are too brief and hopefully there will be an expanded version of this documentary as its clear that Simmons has access to some terrific home movie and video footage and the 31 minutes alloted for the documentary only scratches the surface of the band's history. Missing in the documentary are former band members Tiran Porter, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, John Hartman all of whom were around during pivotal times during the band's career. Let's hope there will be a full video release of this as Simmons could have made this an hour and STILL not touch on the band's long history/issues/sucesses.
While this deluxe edition isn't essential for the dvd, it is for the two bonus songs. You could also buy the regular edition and can buy the two bonus tracks separately at amazon.com if you don't mind digital downloads.Recommended.World Gone Crazy Overview
