The great Larry Carlton on guitar.
My favorite of their studio guitarists 😎
Absolutely
Are you familiar with the duo Eye To Eye? Deborah Berg's voice is wonderful. They are known for their top forty hit "Nice Girls" (1982). They have a song called "Falling For A Funny One" Larry does a nice guitar solo and overall guitar work on their song. Eye To Eye were also produced by Gary Katz and many musicians who played with Steely Dan also help them with their songs even Donald himself. Give them a listen if your not familiar. They were not Steely Dan but very influenced by them.
One of the best opening guitar solos ever!
- The - best, I would say.
True
That and Kid Charlemagne.
The truth is whatever Steely Dan song you're hearing will be your favorite!
"Cousin Dupree"? 🙃
I am guilty of that!
So true. I love Steely Dan and I love Donald Fagen’s albums too
That is SO TRUE!!!
it is more difficult to find the Dan song you don't like:)
Literally one of my favorite Dan tunes!!!
Maybe the best guitar intro ever!! Larry Carlton is a beast!!
Steely Dan is my "stranded on a desert island with only one group's music" band. Endless perfection.
I'll take the Beatles or the Doors 🚪
I would probably go with Mozart....but I know what you mean...
Larry Carlton on guitar.
Deacon Blues by Steely Dan, that's the one you need to hear next!
agree
@@rulebs green earrings fm glamour profession
Yes, “Deacon Blues”! Another great noir story, but this time about someone who is willing to bet it all on playing the saxophone.
@LSorr3 FM was going to be my next suggestion. Some people list a bunch of songs. I think they notice it more when you just list one song at a time.
@@magneto7930 Nothing but (Deacon) blues and Elvis and somebody else's favorite song!
Steely Dan is brilliance on all levels.JMO.
Yes. They are to jazz what Zep is to the blues.
Yup, The Royal Scam album had some real gems. Check out Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne." A very famous artist took a sample from it. Great music! 💯🔥🌟
YES!!!!!!!!!PLZ!!!!!!!!
Amber & Jay, here are some other good Steely Dan songs to react to: "Only a Fool Would Say That", "Doctor Wu", "Kid Charlemagne", "Black Cow", and "Hey Nineteen".
Black Cow has the funkiest bassline!
Hey Nineteen...LOVE it!😊
I want them to do Haitian Divorce
Love Black Cow
What he said…
Steely Dan has nothing but good music.
Them sweet 70s 4 Sure
Up to Gaucho. Went downhill after that.
@@Coowallsky I didn't know that. I just started listening to Donald Fagen after awhile.
Jay & Amber, you'll absolutely LOVE their "Aja", "Deacon Blues" and "FM" !!!!!
Also… Babylon Sisters & Bodhisattva & more. There are so many AMAZING SD songs. 🎶💙
Steely Dan = Epic!
I listened to this album back to back, over and over and over…♥️🙌
That is one hell of an album
Larry Carlton on the guitar.. amazing!
"It's Steely Dan. That's how you make music." Best quote ever!
My mom had this album,Haitian Divorce is another banner from The Royal Scam album
OOOHH! That guitar solo at the end, how can one not crank that up!
I will put in a vote for Haitian Divorce too.
Love how the song opens with the guitar solo...dark lyrics for sure, love you two!
One of their best songs. Great album too. Check out "The Royal Scam"...the song.
Outstanding album. Outstanding group. RIP Walter.
Amber nailed the meaning.
Steely Dan has a HUGE selection of great tunes....keep going.
Larry Carlton playing his 335 guitar into a cranked Fender Deluxe tweed amp. Maybe my favorite lead guitar tone ever recorded.
Between 1972 and 1980, Steely Dan made seven perfect albums. They were taskmasters and produced a technically superior product every time. Some songs are better than others, but you can't go wrong with any song from any of them.
Steely Dan is always a treat you guys, lots more to discover as well. And the great thing is that listening to their music is like investing in your future. The value never goes down.
That's a good way of putting it. I'm currently on my Steely Dan journey at age 38. Going through each album chronologically, solo albums too. Currently on Walter Becker's 11 Tracks of Wack. I've discovered so many cool songs I'll keep in rotation forever.
@@derekd1997 That's awesome Derek. I like how you're going through the albums in a logical way. For me it was in 1999 when I bought a best of Steely Dan CD. The only titles I recognized were ''Ricky Don't Lose That Number'' and ''Hey Nineteen''. Didn't realize they had done other familiar songs like '' Do It Again'', ''Peg'', ''FM'' and the rest just blew me away. Cheers brother!
It’s often been said that Steely Dan is your favorite band’s favorite band. ❤️🎸✌🏼😎🇺🇸
The entire album is genius! Please do the whole album!!!!!!
Top 5 all time favorite songs. Glad you got to hear this for the first time!
Only Steely Dan can write about a guy who is in a standoff with the police and make it sound catchy.
Or a song about a drug dealer (Kid Charlemaign), porn star probably (Peg), collrge professor relationship with 19 year old student(Hey 19), desired incestuous relationship that (thankfully) doesn't materialize (Cousin dupree), child m--lester (Everyone's gone to the movies) etc... Virtually every Steely Dan song has very dark lyrics on top of a jazz/pop/rock fusion feel good sound. You've got to love the combination
My first apartment life I had a neighbor who played “Peg” on repeat back in 1978. He must have had a broken relationship with Peg.
intro chord and solo with no blues notes whatsoever... just brilliant
G7#9
FM....
The Royal Scam....
Both are incredible!
This was their mid-level time period. I was living in Oregon when the Royal Scam came out (1976) and a local FM station would do an entire album review, and I heard it there first - Loved this track. Try KID CHARLEMAGNE from this next.
That's a must!!
There are those who love Steely Dan and those who are wrong.🖖🏼
One of my four favorite Steely Dan tunes, the other three being "Kid Charlemagne," "Haitian Divorce," and "Dirty Work." I think y'all have hit them all now. Good job.
Your favorite band's favorite band.
Keep the Dan coming
That succulent lead guitar throughout this song is played by Larry Carlton. He has recorded with many others including Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Bobby Bland, Sammy Davis, Jr., Paulinho Da Costa, Charly García, the Fifth Dimension, Herb Alpert, Christopher Cross, Dolly Parton, Andy Williams, and the Partridge Family.
Same album, Kid Charlemagne. Larry Carlton's solo is epic. Lyrics as always take you deeper into the story - this time about Owsley Stanley, the top LSD producer in the Bay area.
This is so overwhelming after all these years. It brings tears to my eyes.
Great song. It is about a real life event.
A guy named David Fine was one of four men that bombed Sterling Hall, a building on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus that housed the Army Mathematics Research Center in 1970 as a Vietnam War protest. One researcher was killed, 3 others were injured. He was finally found by the FBI in 1976 in California holed up in a room.
Thanks for that info. Their lyrics really make us listen, and try to figure out wtf they mean! ❤😂
Good to know, thanks!
Indeed!
Wow, thanks for the info.
I had never heard that this was about the Sterling Hall bombing. There were actually four men involved. Karelton and David Armstrong, David Fine and Leo Burt. The first three were eventually captured but Leo Burt, now almost 54 years later, has never been found.
I have most of their music but Royal Scam and Aja are my favorite Steely Dan albums.
Same here!
Even by the standards of a Steely Dan album, Aja is nothing but wall-to-wall bangers.
This IS how you make music. Truer words were never spoken.
Saw them at Gorge at George, WA, where Donald Fagen introduced the song apologizing that they NOW know how to pronounce Oregon correctly. The Pacific Northwest crowd knowingly went wild with appreciation. (It’s pronounced Ore-eh-gun, not Ore-ah-gone). Thanks for pronouncing it correctly, Jay!!!!
Perfection as always from the Dan
Am so happy the gist of the lyrics were understood. Steely Dan will always have top notch musicians. Even their worst song musically (can’t think of one) is better than any other band. The fact that their lyrics always made the fans (like myself) try to ascertain what the plot was. The combination musical excellence, with lyrically cryptic, is what separates them, and puts them in the top tier.
Love you two, not only are you both nice, the music you pick is amazing and makes me feel great, keep leading on.
"FM" is another great song ( with a Horn solo), "Black Friday", & Kid Charlemagne, "Hey 19" are also good
I am so excited you finally listened to this one. This is my favorite Steely Dan and one of my top ten of all time. Wrote a screenplay from the lyrics when I was very young.
I love this song!!! FM is definitely up your alley!!!
Please please do FM No Static at All
Old man here, been watching and loving you kids for quite some time now its really cool to grow with you on this fun musical adventure. Love your vibe. Always make someone smile if I can. BEST FAMILY...the Squad,lol. So, I would love to share with everyone "The Wings" perhaps. Paul McCartney after the Beatles . Great vibes just like you J & Amber... always liked "Silly Love Songs"...."My Love"...or perhaps please try " Band on the Run"?!.. so many more. Love you kids .
One great song that most people don't know/play unless they are Steely Dan followers is "SHOW BIZ KIDS"" from their secong album 1973 Countdown to Ectasy. Rickie Lee Jones does an amazing slower version of the song in 2000 as well for you Steely Dan fans who I haven't heard. it.
Love that song!
You've finally found it! The best pop music guitar intro of all time. A masterpiece. Larry Carlton is a virtuoso. (BTW, it's "bookkeeper's" son.) Thank you!
Genius opening guitar solo by Larry Carlton!!!
I really like this song. I'd never heard it until I bought their greatest hits CD 12 years ago. I've loved this band since "Hey Nineteen" came out when I was 16.
You're missing out! You need to hear more Steely Dan ;) I love their rock/jazz/pop songs!
Steely Dan popped off from the 1970s, that's when all the jam bands started appearing. Like the Doobie Brothers.
There's such a great revival in this kind of music right now, from the likes of Young Gun Silver Fox, State Cows, Super DB, Page 99 and more. Great to see new artists emulating this and even putting a fresh take on it.
The thing is, Steely Dan songs stand alone, as part of an album, as part of their experiments, as part of an enormous body of work.
That is why they are geniuses.
My first album, Countdown to Ecstasy, is my favourite, not because it is the best, but because it is the one I played to death.
The best songs from that album are Razor Boy, King of the World, Boston Rag and Your Gold Teeth. But like every song, they are all so very good.
Thanks!!! My favorite band!!! So many amazing songs!! Next: Dr. Woo!! 🙏
Dr. Wu. 😀
He's a book-keeper's son, not a wood-maker's...
They are clueless
I use to think it was "bull-keeper's son. "
I’d assumed pool keepers until I recently heard otherwise.
@@kevinmcpartland7639 His father worked for the mob doing their books, he stole money from him and went on the run. Now he's holed up in a building with hostages and doesn't want to be taken alive because his father and the mob are after him.
@@kevinmcpartland7639 I thought if they sung, " I'm a pool hall hustlers son " that would be a great lyric.
And yes, he's saying he "crossed" his old man. Next you should listen to "Kid Charlemagne" from them, and "East of Eden" by Maria McKee and Lone Lustice this Female Friday! You'll love her!!!❤❤❤❤
My favorite Steely Dan song
One of their best. This CD is excellent for road trips!
My favorite Dan song. Thank you!
The entire Royal Scam album is excellent!
One of their Best Albums.. Royal Scam and Kid Charmelon along with Big Black Cow!
Kid Charlemagne.
@@dggydddy59 They got the idea I think...
I just watched a video of Steely Dan doing "do it again" live. So damn good. Then UA-cam had the next song teed up for me. Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon" live. Stevie Nicks goes to another dimension! It's one of my favorite videos ever.
Fagen called Carlton back to improve the intro to the song. After several versions, Fagen said 'just give me a crazy-ass chord'... which is what we hear.
Favorite tracks from this album are "The Caves of Altimira" and the title track "The Royal Scam". The entire album is exquisite, however.
My favourite tracks too.
@robsquadreactions
Not only do I truly enjoy watching you two..
I can now say I actually yelled YES! When I saw this one..
This is my all time favorite SD song since I was a child! 🎼🎶
Mad RESPECT to you guys for even having this one on your radar!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
My favorite Dan song!!!! Great solo at the start.
Yes!
And background vocals in the refrain, was Tim B. Schmitt of the Eagles. I loved this album, a lot of great songs.
When people ask what song do you turn up as soon as it comes on the radio, it's this for me. By the time they've played through that first arpeggio, I've got the volume up.
Larry Carlton's guitar work here is legendary in the guitar playing community. It's the Holy Grail!
The Royal Scam is a great tune as well.
I crossed my old man Back in Oregon! Please listen to" Peg" by Steely Dan !!!!!!
I think they did already
@@LSorr3 oh ok!
Steely Dan is so good at painting a picture of one moment within a larger story. They don’t tell the whole story, just one scene.
All we know is the man telling the story crossed his dad, who is a bookkeeper. And for that, he has holed up somewhere with a case of dynamite, willing to end it all. But he would prefer not to hurt anyone else.
Just a small slice of an interesting story.
What a fantastic song especially the instrumentals!
Best guitar intro in rock 🎸 big up's to Larry Carlton
Saw the Dan in Boca Raton Florida at an outdoor amphitheater a few years ago (before Walter Becker left us) and they were fantastic. I'll never forget Water playing that opening guitar note to "Hey Nineteen". That would be A great song for you all to cover from them Jay and Amber...
'The Royal Scam' was the jazz/funk-oriented breakout album for SD that set the stage for 'Aja.' Another *hot* (and funky) track from Royal Scam is "Green Earrings"; it was funky enough to have been sampled by several rap/hip hop artists.
Another banger song from Steely Dan that you would love is "King of the World"
Steely Dan is great. Kind of jazzy. kind of pop. Very groovy.
Way to go you two this is one of my favorite Steely Dan tunes. Next from them you should do Here At The Western World. 👌🏼🙏🏼
This is also one of my favorites! He is a bookkeeper’s son.
A couple of popular ones you haven’t done yet are Deacon Blues and FM. Deacon Blues was a huge radio hit. There are so many cool ones like this but you may want to start with either Black Cow, Bad Sneakers, Kid Charlemagne, Royal Scam or Caves of Altamira. I can list 50 more easily because all of their songs are fantastic.
One of my all time faves, by anyone....
steely dan's "King of the World" is a peppy little number about the end of the world and last man standing.
My favorite intro guitar solo, Larry Carlton just kills it!
I'm a bookkeepers son, I don't want to shoot no one
Nice reaction guys. Thing about the Dan is, whatever song you're listening to, ends up being your favorite. Here's a challenge, try to figure out which one of their session artists is your favorite. Larry Carlton, who is playing the guitar on this track, is a good choice. Great jazz guitarist! His guitar on " Kid Charlemagne ", with Bernard Purdy on the drums, is pure magic! Keep up the good work guys. RIP Mr. Becker!
I've heard the lead guitar player was Larry Carlton, an ace player on several Steely Dan cuts. On the Aja LP he arranged Becker and Fagen's songs for the band. Listen to "Deacon Blues" from that LP.
The Royal Scam was met with faint praise from the critics when it came out. I think it's been underrated over the years. But "Kid Charlemagne" "Green Earring" and "Sign In Stranger" are great cuts.
Try "King of the World" Steely Dan...great song
Steely Dan has such a wide panarama of music styles. I could recommend dozens to listen to. A great tune that dosent get enough play ---"Pearl of the Quarter" from Countdown to Ecstasy.
Steely Dan is my 4:40 favorite band, and at 74, I've seen/heard everyone. For some really great 70s music, try Mr Mister, then drift back to the late 60s for some Blood, Sweat, and Tears. You'll be amazed.
Incredible, Incredible band. The talent of Steely Dan will never be equaled. I cannot live without their music!! ❤❤❤❤
This is considered one of the greatest intros in pop/rock music. If you search UA-cam, you will see a lot of videos on just the intro.
Love Steely Dan
Finally! My favorite song by them. ❤❤❤
