 The Doobie Brothers - Biography - AOL Music
Keith Knudsen replaced Hossack as the group's second drummer for 1974's What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, which launched their first number one single, "Black Water," and featured heavy contributions from former Steely Dan member Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.
Prior to the album's spring release, Johnston was hospitalized with a stomach ailment and was replaced for the supporting tour by keyboardist/vocalist Michael McDonald, who had also worked with Steely Dan.
Although it peaked at number four, Stampede wasn't as commercially successful as its three predecessors, and the group decided to let McDonald and Baxter, who were now official Doobies, revamp the band's light country-rock and boogie.

MARKET FACTORS: When Tommy Johnston, CEO of popular California group the Doobie Brothers, suffers a mysterious stomach ailment and is unable to tour, Creem magazine reports McDonald as the band's new figurehead, causing a rise in the street value of both MMcD and DOOB.
Now in charge of the Doobies, McDonald reforms their business strategy in sectors of roughneck California country in favor of the shimmering strut of blue-eyed RandB, and their first commercial enterprise, "Takin' It to the Streets," assists in the rapid disappearance of white lines from glass coffee tables over the next two years.

And when I fired up Rhapsody to hear the new Bryan Adams album "Room Service" two nights ago, I heard such a song.
And now I can’t get "Open Road" out of my head.  When I’m hiking in the mountains, when I lie awake at night, when I get up in the morning, "life is an open road to me" goes through my brain.
Oh, Bryan’s almost gushing.  Like a high school boy showing up at your doorstep wearing a shiteating grin begging you to come along, to ride shotgun with his LIFE!
