The second
single from "Stampede", was "Sweet Maxine", released on
July 8, 1975 which was more akin to the Doobie Brothers' earlier hits
style-wise. "Patrick Simmons wrote the music to this and Tom Johnston
wrote the words, "And Billy Payne had a lot to do with the sound of the
song, because of his incredible keyboard playing." Many guest musicians
contributed on the album including Maria Muldaur, Ry Cooder and Curtis
Mayfield.
