Michael McDonald on Reuniting with the Doobie Brothers, Yacht Rock and Songwriting

Michael McDonald’s back with the Doobie Brothers, because one reunion tour wasn’t enough. Their new album Walk This Road marks his first studio outing with them since 1980, and they’re even throwing in a little accordion action just to keep us on our toes. Turns out, it’s not easy to pick up a new instrument at 70—who knew? Michael joins Kyle Meredith to dive into the magic of getting the band back together, writing with Tom Johnson and Patrick Simmons, and why the Yacht Rock label just won’t die (even if half the band wishes it would).
