Why didn't Ted Templeman produce A Different Kind of Truth?

[IceCreamBlondie]

New band, new era, new approach.

Agreed.....The Templeman era was like a "golden era" that is best left to be cherished. Its like a classic movie that should never be remade.

[Nickdfresh]

because Templeman is almost a hundred years old and his ears are probably shot.




after a few listens to ADOKT, i was thinking the same thing. someone mighta lost their job over that decision.

Especially when the album debuts either at number one or two...

He produced The Doobies' last album that was released a little over a year ago. He did a damn good job, so I don't think it had anything to do with his hearing.

Well, if you were to rebuild a classic car (say, a Shelby Cobra), would you use the exact same parts from the heydays?
Most likely not, if your goal is to update it to the point of giving Porsches etc. a run for their money...
