JOE WHITING \ MARK DOYLE - DOWN IN THE DIRT 2021.
Guitarist Mark Doyle and vocalist Joe Whiting have been performing
together since 1968.
Starting with Free Will / Jukin’ Bone onto The Doyle-Whiting Band
Led by vocalist Joe Whiting and lead guitarist Mark Doyle, the band also featured George Egosarian on second guitar, John DeMaso on bass, and Tom Glaister on drums. This was the line-up that recorded their first album for RCA, ‘Whiskey Woman’. By the time of their second LP, ‘Way Down East,’ Tom Glaister had been replaced by two drummers, Danny Coward and Kevin Shwaryk.
While signed to RCA, the band toured with ZZ Top, Freddie King, The Allman Brothers, The Kinks, John Mayall, and Three Dog Night, among others. They disbanded acrimoniously in 1973, although Doyle and Whiting went on to record several fine albums together on the Blue Wave and Free Will labels, and also achieved individual success in their lengthy careers – Mark as either producer/music director/guitarist for the likes of Meat Loaf, Bryan Adams, Hall & Oates, Mary Fahl, et al and Joe with Bobby Comstock, Savoy Brown, and as tour opener for Van Halen
