Livin' on the Fault Line is the seventh studio album by the American rock band The Doobie Brothers. The album was released on August 19, 1977, by Warner Bros. It is one of the few Doobie Brothers albums of the 1970s which did not produce a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 (although "You Belong to Me" was a hit as recorded by co-author Carly Simon). Still, the album received modest critical acclaim. Tom Johnston (guitar, vocals) left the band early in the sessions

Others will imply that this album which spawned no hit singles is the most well developed and considered Doobie Brothers album of all time, though what should one expect with Baxter and McDonald, both late of Steely Dan stepping in at the helm to guide the process. Even so, there’s a haunting sense of sadness, perhaps melancholy drifting around the edges of this record that seemed to have no defining moments or direction.

Underneath us all There's a world that we always forget 'til it moves us Where the moon on the bay dances all alone Ramone, he draw the razor swift, it slice the air No more lovely dreams of those summer nights Down in Santo Domingo They laugh and play in the sleepy harbor town So unaware of the danger that's around.

The album had no hit singles, and one-time leader Tom Johnston kept a markedly low profile (this would be his last record with the group, not including a later reunion). Despite this, Livin' on the Fault Line contains some of the most challenging and well-developed music of the band's career, with Patrick Simmons and Michael McDonald really stepping to the fore. There's a vague mood of melancholia running through the songs, as well as a definite jazz influence

Released in August of 1977, "Livin' On The Fault Line" is the second Doobie Brothers album with Michael McDonald in the band, and like its predecessor "Takin' It To The Streets", it finds the group, from a creative standpoint, sounding rather spent.
