Taking off on the commercial success of Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me propelled the Doobie Brothers to superstar status. Having spent an entire year on the charts after its March 1973 release, the band's third record features one classic after another. Not to mention an even-keeled balance between gritty rock fare and mellow balladry that highlights the group's chemistry and songwriting prowess. And a guest turn on pedal steel by Steely Dan alum Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, who’d officially crack the Doobie Brothers’ lineup the following year.
