Well, classic album shows seem to be all the rage these days, especially for bands that haven't really made an album you could call "classic" in ages. Like Lucinda Williams, The Posies, and Echo and the Bunnymen before them (I know I'm forgetting some people here), Steely Dan are the latest in a string of [...]

Prior to 2000’s Grammy-winning “Two Against Nature”, few would have thought Steely Dan would reform, let alone embark on a number of tours in the intervening years between then and now, but get together they did, and tonight found the Dan at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando, in the midst of a smallish-venue Casinos’n’Clubs tour entitled “High Rollers”.Opening with “Time Out Of Mind”

Time to stir the pot a little bit. Mention Steely Dan amongst music fans and you’ll generate emotion. It’s like putting the name “Britney Spears” into a blogger post. The traffic skyrockets and the comments, positive and slanderous, roll in.What is it about Steely Dan that is so polarizing? To some they're geniuses, to others the hatred runs deep. On another site I frequent a regula

"Charlie Freak" by Steely Dan has elements of noir film scripting.The narrative, poetic and fluid. It's all sadness and redemption.The music, it feels like night and wild clowns with a bit of dirge tossed in.Enjoy this overlooked classic. Lyrics follow.Charlie Freak - Steely Dan (Pretzel Logic) Charlie Freak had but one thing to call his ownThree weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone ...

You know how these things get started. Someone asks if you've ever noticed how many songs there are about shoes, and you think, "Hmmm. Someone has a fetish." And then you think, "Wait a minute. She's right."So I was mulling over the usual suspects. There's Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'." (Talk about fetishes. And they'll walk all over who?) You've got "High-Heel Sneakers," c...

IMHO one of my favorite bands ever, Steely Dan, lost the plot near the end of their first recording career. 1977-80 saw the releases ??Aja?? and ??Gaucho??, both of which sold very, very well. But both of them lacked the blistering guitar and sardonic lyrics that adorn the best Dan tracks from earlier days. Perfectly produced? Stellar playing? Yup. Boring and unengaging? Double yup.So, imagine ...
