About Rockin' Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert

Rockin’ Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert is the second double live album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music). The concerts were performed to benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society, hence the album's title. The album marked the first appearance on a Doobie Brothers album of guitarist John McFee and drummer Keith Knudsen since rejoining the group in 1993 after an eleven-year absence. Two other former members also appeared - keyboardist/singer/songwriter Michael McDonald performed on three tracks he had written and sung during his time with the group while saxophonist/keyboardist Cornelius Bumpus, who had been a member in the early 1980s, featured as a sidesman. Two tracks had not previously appeared on the group's albums. Slow Burn was a new track while Wild Ride had been on Patrick Simmons' solo album Take Me to the Highway released the same year. more »
