The Doobie Brothers- Livin On The Fault Line-LP

Livin On The Fault Line marks a distinct turn in The Doobie Brothers’ sound, blending jazz influences with their signature R&B grooves. This 1977 album includes the introspective "You Belong To Me," co-written by Michael McDonald and Carly Simon, who later made it her own hit, and a lush remake of Marvin Gaye’s "Little Darling (I Need You)" featuring string and horn arrangements by David Paich. The title track and songs like "Chinatown" showcase the band’s willingness to explore softer, more textured musical landscapes, setting this album apart within their catalog. This pressing from 1977 presents the album on vinyl in very good plus condition, with clean grooves and only the faintest surface imperfections that won’t distract from listening. It’s the kind of copy that invites repeated plays without the need to hunt for a quieter version—an ideal choice for someone who appreciates the band’s evolution without fuss. If your collection has room for a record that straddles rock and jazz with a little R&B flair, this one fits neatly, even if "Larry The Logger Two-Step" might make you wonder about the story behind that title.
