Why Dontcha is the first studio album by power trio West, Bruce and Laing.

The album features "The Doctor", which received heavy FM radio airplay upon the album's release and became a signature song in live performance for the band. Other noteworthy tracks include "Out into the Fields", which Jack Bruce continued to perform in concert following West, Bruce and Laing's breakup (and which he re-recorded for his 2001 album Shadows in the Air), and "Love is Worth the Blues", a song loosely based on the chords and structure of The Rolling Stones' "Play with Fire".

Why Dontcha was West, Bruce and Laing's most successful album, reaching No. 26 on the Billboard U.S. album chart.
