"And I ain't got no worries/'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all." The capstone to the chorus of the Doobie Brothers' No. 1 hit "Black Water" sums up the feel-good emotions and Southern-styled charm of What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits. As the group's most diverse and ambitious effort upon its release in 1974, the album finds the sextet expanding its stylistic parameters while holding firm on its signature blend of rock, country, and R&B. More than five decades later, it stands along with the band's other early and mid-70s records as an indispensable staple of a Hall of Fame career.
