Southbound is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band the Doobie Brothers featuring collaborations with various artists in remakes of various hits by the band. It was the group's only album that featured Tony Pia since he joined the band in 2010 (because of Hossack's retirement due to cancer and his death in 2012), before leaving the group in August 2016. It is also the band's last studio album to feature keyboardist/vocalist Guy Allison before his departure from the group in October 2015.
