1973 song recorded by the Doobie Brothers
"Long Train Runnin' " (or "Long Train Running ") is a song recorded by American rock band the Doobie Brothers and written by band member Tom Johnston . It was included on the band's third album, The Captain and Me Warner Bros. , becoming a hit and peaking at No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100[6]
It was covered by the Italian band Traks in 1982, and then by the British girl group Bananarama in 1991. In 1993, the Doobie Brothers' version was remixed and charted again in several countries, including reaching No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart .
The tune evolved from an untitled and mostly ad-libbed jam that the Doobies developed onstage years before it was finally recorded.[7] Teddy [Templeman], on the other hand, thought it had some." Templeman convinced Johnston to write words to the song.
Johnston performed the lead vocal and the rhythmic guitar strumming that propels the song and also performs the harmonica solo.
Reception [ edit ]

Ultimate Classic Rock critic Michael Gallucci rated "Long Train Runnin' " the Doobie Brothers' second-greatest song, especially praising the guitar riff .[7] Billboard polyrhythms " in the bass and drums.[11]

Larry Flick from Billboard Bananarama offers a pop /house version of the Doobie Brothers' classic rocker "Long Train Running". Produced by Youth , this first single from the forthcoming Pop Life Gipsy Kings , which provides a tough, rustic edge to an otherwise light and campy track. A fun one that could cross into radio territory."[43] Chuck Eddy from Entertainment Weekly techno -flamenco gods" help engineer the song "into a scary locomotive blues."[44] Everett True from Melody Maker [45]
