    It’s just about jamming and relaxing and dreaming your way down the river. There was time for that kind of song in the middle ’70s. Rent was cheap and a dollar still meant something.

    Lots of great choices in their play list.

    It's about the Mississippi River, how life is slower, laid back, the river she's the tone, and the black water is reference for the name given by locals. It's a slice of life living in the delta.

    Allman Brothers "Soulshine"!
    (This song can be taken at face value. It's literally a song about the peace and serenity of a lazy day on the river.
    Like the mountains, the swamps and bayous have their own time. Things happen when they happen, not on men's schedule.
    I live between the Chattahoochee Ichetucknee and Suwanee Rivers and can completely relate to the song!
    Here in the South, we have what's known as Black Water. Our water isn't polluted, it is extremely tannic from the cypress trees that grow in it. It makes the water very dark looking.
    We have spring fed creeks and lakes but, they're very rare especially where I live as opposed to True black water.)

    Patrick Simmons wrote this and sang lead, he'd had a lick he'd been working on and when he went to New Orleans, the inspiration, from reading about the South in Huck Finn books, the Dixieland sound, going to the laundry mat when it was raining ("if it rains, I don't care, don't make no difference to me...") all of his experience of New Orleans, went into the lyrics and sound. He didn't struggle much writing it, it kinda wrote itself, according to Simmons, from interviews I've seen. One certainly get's the "feel" of the South from his song. I love it, and thank you for a good review.

    This is the first iteration of the big brothers - originally a Northern California biker band with a southern tilt to the music-who changed radically with addition of Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on guitar and Michael McDonald vocals/keyboards and became much more soulful and R&B-based.

    Loved the Reaction just what I was hoping for. Good Ol Relaxation. I've always loved that tune and just imagine rafting down the river fir a day enjoying the Sundays bouncing off the river water. Getting back home at the end of the day and cooking up some shrimp or crayfish, getting that grill started. The tiki lights illuminating the yard, patio and enjoying life with friends and family and music.

    Doobie Brothers was a rock band back as far as I can recall. I was in high school, with the bell bottom pants, platform shoes, and the guys all had long hair or afros. Black Water is my favorite of their songs. Jesus Is Just Alright is another. But if you want to do a request of mine, no one seems to react to Cat Stevens. My favorite song is Father and Son, but there is an awesome piano on Morning has Broken. He is an interesting man as well.
