The Doobie Brothers' 15th album was produced and cowritten by John Shanks, who has previously worked with Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow and Miley Cyrus. "Hes a great producer, and we wrote together and that was fun and something different," Simmons told UCR. "Hes a great player, too, so we could stand toe to toe and work on things together, and see where we were going at any given time. Hes got his own approach and is super high energy, but not in a way that feels manic oranything."

The Doobie Brothers' 50th-anniversary tour kicks off Aug. 22 in Des Moines.
