The Doobie Brothers have announced that their new studio album, Walk This Road, will be released on June 6 via Rhino Records.

The 10-track studio album will see former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald rejoin the band alongside Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston and John McFee both in the recording studio, writers room and on an upcoming global tour.

The band also recently released two new tracks from the album: “Walk This Road” and “Call Me.” The songs are in addition to the previously released “Lahaina.” Pre-order the album at https://doobies.lnk.to/WTRS

Walk This Road was recorded in the winter of 2024 with producer John Shanks and showcases the band’s unique songwriting process and diverse stylistic perspectives. The album is comprised of and reliant on the songwriting contributions and individual musical styles of all three principal songwriters.

Recurring themes on the album include recovery, enlightenment – “waking up to see the important things you’ve been missing,” says founding member Simmons. The title track, featuring Mavis Staples, embodies a sense of hope and togetherness, in terms of searching for the right path forward.

The band is looking forward to embarking on their 2025 tour to perform their new tracks as well as much-loved, fan-favorite hits.

The announcement of the upcoming album coincided with the news that the Grammy award-winning, Platinum-selling icons will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons would be inducted in the Performing Songwriters category at the organization’s 2025 Induction and Awards ceremony to be held in New York in June.
