Steely Dan Essentials

Steely Dan Essentials

Steely Dan's hyper-literate, jazzy art-rock has been captivating ears since the ‘70s. Their spacious, complex arrangements—helmed by Donald Fagen's often caustic lyrics—lead winding journeys through mellow horns and intricate guitar runs on “Deacon Blues”, engage funky bass on “Josie” and pick up the pace with rollicking piano for the addictive “Reelin' In the Years”. Their impressive technical wizardry is balanced by killer grooves and pop sensibilities, turning a smoky, chilled-out tune like “Do It Again” into a perpetually diggable ride.
