The Doobie Brothers - World Gone Crazy (2010)

Ten years separate World Gone Crazy from Sibling Rivalry, their last studio album, but the bigger news about this 2010 release is that it sees the Doobie Brothers reuniting with Ted Templeman, the producer of their '70s hits. So some credit must go to the old pro Templeman, who certainly knows how to pull out the best from a band, but Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John McFee and Mike Hosack are in fine form, writing solid songs and giving relaxed, lived-in performances, all adding up to a surprising strong album.
