Minute by Minute Reviews:
Greatest guitar solo? 
2009-01-02 - McDonald is very much in focus here so you have to like him to like this album. But take a closer "look" at the last track "How do the fools survive". After 3 minutes of McDonald vocals, old-time Doobie, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, takes over and treats us with an amazing 2 minutes guitar solo, said to be improvised during the take. To me this is as close to guitar heaven as you can get....
Strictly Michael McDonald 
2008-12-18 - I wouldn't recommend this. I bought this to get "some" Michael McDonald Doobies stuff but was disappointed when I realized this is 100% McDonald. Although he did some good things with the Doobies, I was a big fan of the original Doobs and absolutely can't stand so much of Michael McDonalds syrupy vocals in one sitting.
Emasculated Doobies 
2007-11-24 - Here, Michael McDonald continues the emasculation of the Doobie Brothers. Apart from What a Fool Believes (and possibly the instrumental Steamer Lane Breakdown, which sounds like the Marshall Tucker Band), there's precious little here. Hard to believe this is the same group that recorded Toulouse Street, The Captain and Me, and What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits.
It's So Smooth! 
2006-11-21 - Months ago, I wouldn't be caught dead listening to the Michael McDonald-era Doobies. I had a certain apprehension for their brand of music. It was so smooth; how could I ever reconcile it with my rock and roll ways?
Then, Yacht Rock showed me the way. By brilliantly explaining how the gem was produced by the same man who gaves us Van Halen's debut, I could see how the production might yet give us a great piece of music. Also, by watching the first episode, I learned about how the McDonald and Loggins partnership was what gave us the beautiful and oh-so-smooth "What A Fool Believes."
Listening to this entire album was a treat. "You Never Change" was a pleasant surprise, since it was briefly used in the first Yacht Rock episode as well. The rest of the tracks share an insanely smooth production that serves as a testament to Ted Templeman's abilities. The band is in top notch shape and manages to deliver some fantastic ditties.
Anyone who can appreciate the breezy sound of smooth music should invest in this album.
GREAT ALBUM, BUT YOU'RE BUYING THE WRONG VERSION!
2006-07-16 -
The Japanese imports of the Doobie catalog are remastered.
Warner Brothers here in the U.S. is still selling the old LP-EQ'd, terrible-sounding masters they released on CD in 1990.
If you love these albums, get a set of the Japanese editions. They cost more, but they're worth it.
Here is the link to the Japanese remaster of Minute By Minute.
