  • Pete Christlieb provided the tenor saxophone solo. Christlieb said in Wall Street Journal ''s Anatony of a Song article: " They told me to play what I felt. Hey, I'm a jazz musician, that's what I do ... so I recorded my first solo ... we listened back and they said it was great. I recorded a second take and that's the one they used. I was gone in a half hour. The next thing I know I'm hearing myself in every airport bathroom in the world."

    Absolutely one of the greatest songs from a great era. Nothing compares. The lyrics are amazing. Pick them out and put them on a t-shirt, you’ll get noticed.

    This has got to be the most beautifully written, most harmonically structured, yet sad and melancholic song by W.B. and D.F….👍👏❤️ F_ _ K!!! I could play this 100x over and over… thanks Steely Dan🙏

    I got a new puppy last month. While trying to come up with a name, this song kept playing in my head. He is now Mr Deacon Blues, or just Deacon for short. Great song.

    At 0:37 Fagan sounds like he has a slight lisp when he sings "ramblers" and "gambers" (sounds like: at rambleths, wild gambleths) but I never noticed a lisp when he speaks. Any thoughts on this?
