      How is it possible to have never listened to Steely Dan? I came across "Do It Again" when I was 9 years old..., and, I was hooked then. Maybe because my father and uncle were jazz fans..., Steely Dan musical structures always reminded me of bop/hard bop (Fagen influence) and crispy guitar licks one would hear from blues (Becker influence)...

    That sick bass line is played by one of the greatest session musicians of all time, Chuck Rainey. And the drums are played by one of the greatest drummers of all time, Bernard Purdie. Steely Dan had a reputation for being perfectionists in the studio, so no wonder they recruited perfect session players. Simply amazing.

      Definitely! That more than any other song on The Royal Scam took over my imagination when I'd come home from school and put my dad's records on. Plus on top of the polished studio version on The Royal Scam there's a rough, stripped-down early version on "The Best of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen" that shows how the song developed.
      Another good one for Jamel would be a side trip into a great cover, the Pointer Sisters (love them!) version of Steely Dan's "Dirty Work" off Can't Buy a Thrill.

  • @johnlylemusic
    @johnlylemusic 3 роки тому +2

    There’s a beautiful dissonance to this song. The vocal melody has an edge to it that creates a delicious tension that only gets resolved by the hook of the chorus, but then cranks up again immediately with the next verse.
    This may be my favorite drum track of all Steely Dan‘s work, as the fills and groove that Bernard Purdie provides on this track just hit a whole new level, and blend perfectly with the structure of the song.
    The guitar solo bridge smooths out the edges for about 16 bars and gives it that warm jazzy smoky lounge feel.
    The guitar solo at the end just totally rips, and the SPEED of those licks….. especially as they’re going down the drain are pretty mind blowing, and I’m pretty sure even Eddie Van Halen would be proud of those had he played them!

Sadly, he & Donald had fought over rights, etc. Donald is still touring today as Steely Dan. Michael McDonald tours with them as part of Steely Dan.

    I like how you try to enjoy the song first;then review it after listening!
    The best is sick...and the guitar solo is still considered one of the finest if the past 50 years!
    You have a good ear for the gold!!

    • @gregmaltz1143
      @gregmaltz1143 3 роки тому

      For years I felt that way about Kamakyriad relative to Nightfly but then I started getting into the outro in On the Dunes. From there I started to appreciate the entire tune. Then I moved on to other Kamakiriad tunes like Florida Room. The entire album is great. Even greater is all of Morph the Cat, which thematically ties in to 9/11 and may be Fagen's most advanced songwriting ever. Jamel should react to What I Do and go from there. ua-cam.com/video/Kl4LhVu8gjY/v-deo.html

    This track follows "The Fez" on the album. (On the LP, this is side B track 1, "The Fez" was the last track of side A). Together these two tracks are the absolute peak of skunky spooky '70s funk in the Steely Dan catalog.

    You wanna see how we all listen to music? Just watch your own video! With Steely Dan, you are guaranteed a groove experience of a lifetime. Next to the best music I ever heard, is watching your reaction, feeling that implosion of melodies and rhyme and funk in time, so genuine surprise in your eyes just brings a joy that you just realized! ✌️

    Yup , My dad’s favorite Steely Dan album. Carmona’s Rocks collecting Halite, somewhere in the Mojave desert.
    Thanks Pop, I will always chairish those days spending time with you…. Steely Dan and Pink Floyd’s Division Bell will always remind me rockhounding with my dad.
    Much love & CHEERS 👍 🎣🐻

    The version of Green Earrings they played on the Plush T.V. set is, in my opinion, the greatest Dan performance of any of their work.
    Man, I must have played it 500 times and it just gets better and better.
    My kids are SD crazy and it's probably the best thing they will ever inherit.
