DOOBIE BROTHERS - What Were Once Vices, Are Now Habits


What Were Once Vices, Are Now Habits is certainly the weirdest title of a Doobie Brothers album, but it is also one of their most entertaining. The album contains their first number one hit, "Black Water". The song is beautifully structured and, as the song suggests, has the easy feel of a boat floating down the river. "Pursuit On 53rd St." is the exact opposite of "Black Water", an aggressive, rocking tune. "Spirit" could be the best song on the album and is a forgotten album track that deserves to be heard. The rest of the album is solid with "Another Park, Another Saturday" (a top 40 hit sliding in at #32), "Eyes Of Silver" and "Road Angel" standing out. - Thomas Magnum
