...uncluttered, unaffected sound. But as the group started to change, its producer changed with it, and if he did not initiate these changes and new directions, he certainly encouraged them. The Doobies, who over the years have probably had more recruits than the all-volunteer Army, picked up Guitarist Jeff Baxter from Steely Dan, and that group's inverted rhythms, strange melodic breaks and jazzy riffs began, in homogenized form, to seep into the Doobies' music. Johnston dropped out of the group in 1975-accumulated years of hard touring and hard partying had given him an acute case...
...City, made for $500,000 by Mark Reichert, 32, has been called the first punk-rock film noir. At first glance, the phrase fits.

Most of the rest are gentle, inoffensive love-melodies that would bring smiles to grandma as she makes Minuteman Lemonade for granddad on the porch, and tears from heart-struck pre-pubescents. These are girl songs--from...
...reasons like this, some Eaters fans may be getting indigestion, chewing on their first release to find some unexpected ingredients. Are the Eaters going mass market? Can disco be far? Cataldo--who is backed by rhythm guitarist Jonathan Paley, drummer Jeff Wilkinson and bassist Robb Skeen--said in a recent interview that the smorgasbord quality of Nervous Eaters came from the inclusion of songs the group put together before it gained a following for reliable hard-rock...
