I am incredibly reluctant to use this term, but he is one of the few genuine songwriting geniuses. An absolute pioneer and master for the jazz rock fusion genre. Such a beautiful, dark, sardonic snarky sound.
The solo melodica or whatever it is supposed to be called is typical of Maestro Fagen in style, yet by turns reminds us also a bit of Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder. A fabulous song. I have commented on 'Morph The Cat' to the effect that the music could well be used by The New York Tourist Board, such stylish and beautiful vignettes of NY social life, and this also must be said to have some similar flavour. The man himself, coming through strong and pure. I am DELIGHTED with these songs. Maximum love and respect! 🎶🌟👍
honestly, I can not give a honest opinion on this guy, im too big of a fan. About this song.. well.. third time listening to it and already jumped above most of everything I've listened
Not his lyrics but who cares. He could sing about poop in your soup with this melody and arrangement and it would still be brilliant. Time for another album. Stay healthy Donald.
