Livin' On The Fault Line
The Doobie Brothers
Michael McDonald exerts significant influence here, steering the group toward a smoother vocal style. The tracks trade grit for arrangements suited to the high-fidelity AOR radio format of the period.
The production focuses on tight pop sensibilities and funk-driven grooves. This work captures the California studio aesthetic as it transitioned into the later years of the decade.
