    This is the first Steely Dan cover that I have truly enjoyed. The original work's production is so definitive that only rarely can a group manage to add anything of value....but these guys have managed it, from every single player. The contrasting guitar voicings work together in a way that I would not have expected. Outstanding job by everyone in the room!
