Doin' Something is an album by Soulive
that was released on March 13, 2001. It was produced by Jeff Krasno, Bob Brockman and Yaron Fuchs.
The album is the group's third release since their formation in 1999. With this album, Soulive builds upon the creative momentum established in their previous two albums (Get Down!
and Turn It Out
) while experimenting with new melodic and rhythmic ideas. This album also marks the first time the group recorded with the acclaimed Blue Note
label, having departed with Velour
