With the band for the most part back to their early lineup, the record opens with the blistering track “The Doctor,” where aside from the equally infectious number “Take Me To The Highway,” doesn’t really hold up as well as one might have hoped. Nevertheless, the album is filled with that classic uninhibited good time rock n’ roll that so many had been waiting for. Sadly, by the time this high spirited record hit the shelves, it seems to have arrived about twenty years too late and out of step, where the reality of the dream could not hold, as fans had moved on, styles had changed and there just didn’t seem to be a atmosphere for the revitalization of the early 1970’s.

I’m not saying that Cycles didn’t live up to the hype, of which there was far too much, the record sincerely felt like a beat hadn’t been missed, that the Doobies were right there again, though in all honesty, the album didn’t need to be referred to as a reunion, better to have let it be as the Eagles had, saying with a smile something to the effect of, “We all went on holiday twenty years ago and forgot to come back.” Then there were those pesky critics, those masters of hyperbolic manifestations who claimed that Cycles was a power punch chocked full of Doobie trademark harmonies, that the record was jam packed with chunky rhythm guitars and an all out honky tonk piano, making this the best record the Doobie’s had ever delivered. And really, what band could live up to that hype?

Then there were the critics who went on and on about their new material sounding so much like their older material, yet perhaps that’s just what the world needed at that point in time, a fresh stance on an old take that sounded both familiar and new in the same breath … it’s what everyone had been praying for for years, an updated rehash of those very relatable infectious bluesy boogie numbers.

Not to be hard on Mr. McDonald, but he should have gone and formed his own band rather than using his tasteless influence to transform the Doobie Brothers into a popish group laced with white blue-eyed soul and none of the heart of the original concept; which is back here in abundance.

In short, Cycles conveys a depth that the early Doobies lacked, an album that will slap a mile wide smile across your face. The whole problematic issue with nostalgia is that the experience seems ready-made, pre-ordained, that real honest excitement comes from watching a band whether they’re old or new, where the audience still has the capacity and willingness to allow themselves to be surprised by a band willing to go the extra mile. There is no one walking the planet who can in any manner accuse the Doobies of playing by rote. You’ll find no elevator or grocery store muzak here.

*** The Fun Facts: Tiran Porter was responsible on the album’s title which was taken from his unused song. Tiran later recorded the track for his solo album Playing To An Empty House, back in 1995.
