Sibling Rivalry is the twelfth studio album by American rock band The Doobie Brothers.[4][5] The album was released on October 3, 2000, by Pyramid Records and Rhino Entertainment.
The album was the band's first studio recording since Brotherhood, in 1991. It was also the only Doobie Brothers studio album to feature a lead vocal by multi-instrumentalist John McFee and full lead vocals by drummer Keith Knudsen, both of whom had rejoined the group in 1993 after an eleven-year absence.
The group photograph in the inner booklet featured touring sidesmen Guy Allison (keyboards, backing vocals), Marc Russo (saxophone) and Skylark (bass, backing vocals). Allison and Russo also featured on the album, the former co-writing three tracks while occasional touring bassist John Cowan also featured and contributed the song Can't Stand to Lose written with Poco's Rusty Young.

Critical reception
The New Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that the band were "struggling vainly to put their formula to work again ... [Michael] McDonald wisely stayed far away."[3] The Vancouver Sun deemed the album "vintage soft rock, but not an entirely painful experience."[6]
