The Doobie Brothers

The live recording featuring The Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton performing “Let It Rain” showcases the band in a fascinating period of their career. Released in 1974, prior to this recording, The Doobie Brothers had achieved significant success with their album "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits," which included hits like "Black Water" and demonstrated their smooth blend of rock and R&B. This performance not only highlights their impressive musicianship but also their willingness to collaborate with prominent artists such as Frampton, who was riding high on the success of his own work. Notably, this cover of Eric Clapton’s song illustrates the band’s ability to reinterpret and make fresh sounds from iconic tracks, further solidifying their versatility and appeal in the evolving rock landscape of the 1970s.
