🎹 Background of the Song & Artist

“Listen to the Music” is a classic track by American rock band The Doobie Brothers, released on their second album Toulouse Street (1972). Written by Tom Johnston, it was the band’s first major hit, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song features both a banjo and a prominent flanging effect from the bridge to the fadeout.

Johnston described the song as a utopian call for world peace, imagining a world where leaders could just sit on a grassy hill, “listen to the music,” and forget about conflicts. Its mellow, shuffling rhythm and feel-good vibe quickly made it a classic rock staple, regularly used as an encore in live shows.

Critics have lauded the track: Michael Gallucci of Ultimate Classic Rock rated it the Doobie Brothers’ fourth-greatest song, praising its soft groove and Johnston’s vocals, while Billboard called it “one of rock n’ roll’s feel-good hits” guaranteed to get your foot tapping. In June 2020, the band released an acoustic version as a benefit performance for Feeding America, highlighting the song’s enduring charm and adaptability.
