For the first time the incredible true story of the legendary band The Doobie Brothers written by the founding members
Only a very few rock bands that have had the longevity success and drama of The Doobie Brothers Born out of late 1960s NoCal they stood alongside their contemporaries The Grateful Dead The Allman Brothers and many others as an iconic American rock band The train was rolling along hits were flowing like wine and arenas were packed with fans who wanted to see them live then Tom Johnston the bands front man and lead guitarist almost died
The Doobies train came to a screeching halt All of a sudden the band started contemplating the end of the road only seven years into their career just as things were taking off
This was actually far from the end A soulsteeped backup singer for Steely Dan named Michael McDonald took a shot at singing some of the Doobies songs on tour and all of a sudden a new chapter in the Doobie Brothers story began The band changed their sound and had numerous number one hits with their new front man Tom recovered from his health issues but the band had moved on When it came time for a reunion concert in the 80s Tom got the call and was back in the mix Theyve been touring ever since and maintain a massive fan base the world over
Never before have they shared their story in their own words In Long Train Runnin theyll change that
