It looks like we may be getting a new album from The Doobie Brothers in 2025.
In a year-end note posted to Facebook, founding member Patrick Simmons reveals that they’re almost finished with a new record, Walk This Road, sharing it’s a “goal we’ve set for 2025.”
“This train keeps rollin’ down the track and we’re almost ready to release our new album Walk This Road sometime after the first of the year,” reads the post. “We have 10 new songs sung by Tom, Michael, and Pat,” referring to his fellow members Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald.
“The three of us wrote songs and collaborated together. We had a lot of fun recording it and we feel very proud of the results,” the note adds. “We’ll probably debut a song soon after the first of the year and the full album will follow sometime in the Spring/Summer.”
Walk This Road will be the first new release from The Doobie Brothers since 2021’s Liberté, and the first full album of original material with McDonald since 1980’s One Step Closer.
“Once again we want to wish you and your families Happy Holidays and a Peaceful New Year. May 2025 bring you all health and happiness in abundance,” the post concludes. “We look forward to seeing you in your town next year.”
