Thank you to our patron Everett for this awesome pick!! Glad I could do it for our Steely Sunday this week... I have for sure heard this chorus before. But, I never knew it was Steely Dan!! That is so crazy. And the guitar solo is SO tasty here.

When you get to "Reelin In The Years" you will find out why Jimmy Page said it was his favorite riff, and why so many started playing guitar in the 70's. I know when I was 10 in '72, and heard it on AM radio my jaw dropped on the floor, and I decided then, that I would be playing guitar. Been playing for 50 years now. Love how SD incorporates Middle Eastern, and Reggae along with Jazz, and Rock, and so many other feels in their music. They are definitely there own genre.

@-R.Gray- 7 месяцев назад

The Coral Electric Sitar solo is by Denny Dias. Dias was the leader of the band of Bard College students that Fagen and Becker joined, and eventually took over due to their songwriting abilities. He contributed many good guitar solos on their albums throughout much of Steely Dan's history - eg. the "Aja" solo. The short documentary "Steely Dan : More Than Just a Band" goes into their early history.

@L33Reacts 7 месяцев назад

Dias has been on a few SD tracks I've heard and he always does a great job. He killed it here.

Yes Danny Dias did the electric sitar solo. But Jeff Baxter - better known as Skunk Baxter - set the studio on fire with his solos on My Old School. Better known for his work with the Doobie Brothers after Steely Dan went all studio.

I first heard Steely Dan at the very young age of 12 and I definitely didn't fit into the rich category. Since that one song I've had a lifetime love affair with their music. I still have my original Aja Album I bought at 14. Steely Dan is more for the musically intelligent.

Excellent reaction as always. First track on their debut album, a harbinger for the greatness to come. Upbeat, Latin-influenced groove set against dark lyrics about the cycle of impulse and addiction, and the inability to break self-destructive habits - a running theme throughout their catalog.

@jamespuleo3269 7 месяцев назад

One thing that sets *this song* apart: Doing an entire verse-and-chorus instrumentally (before the vocals come in for verse one), was a standard thing of the 30's and 40's, when jazz *was* the pop music of the day. (It's 100% a "20/20 hindsight" observation, I had no clue at age 14 in 1972) ~~~ But those guys ? Pretty sure *they* knew what they were doing .....

SO TRUE, btw... see also The Tubes WHITE PUNKS ON DOPE (1975) where "I go crazy 'cause my folks are so rucking rich - Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch = Sounds real classy, living in a chateau - So lonely, all the other kids will never know!"

@yes_head 7 месяцев назад

This song is a classic example of how double tracking a singer can make them sound much better. To me this song is an outlier on the debut, which is dominated by major chord pop featuring David Palmer's vocals. The electric sitar by Danelectro was a popular sound in the early 70's. It features heavily on Yes' "Close to the Edge".

@mikeeckel2807 7 месяцев назад

Steve Howe plays the sitar quite a bit on the first two sides of "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by YES and also on "To Be Over" from their "Relayer" album.

@L33Reacts Jeff "Skunk" Baxter was in The Doobie Brothers too as well as did session work for a long list of bands. Interestingly he's also worked as a defense consultant for the government.

@whitneyjacobs7874 7 месяцев назад

He worked for DARPA if I recall correctly. I read an interview with him about 20 years ago where he talked about his interview process for his security clearance. He said he told them he could not be tempted by sex or drugs to divulge government secrets because he had already been there and done that as a member of rock bands.

Donald’s personality really comes through with that unhinged organ solo. What other band would say “ok we’re going to release our first single, it’s gonna be 6 minutes long, it’s gonna be in a minor key, it’s gonna be about gambling and addiction, it’s gonna start with 30 seconds of only percussion and it’s gonna have back to back solos in the middle” are the solos guitar solos? “Oh no we forgot to mention, the first solo is an electric sitar and the second solo is on a cheap imported Japanese organ with a pitch bend function so I can bend all kinds of notes into one another”. The record label musta thought they were nuts

@donholl 7 месяцев назад

Indeed! A "drawing outside the lines" debut for a band that did so, from the start. I once made a very similar quip about it.

@steelyd2 7 месяцев назад

@@donhollI guess they wanted everyone to know from the first song on the first record (and the first single) that this band was a little different. Takes a lot of balls to release something like this as your first single. We know Donald and Walter were confident in their art or maybe they just didn’t know any better. Luckily for us it went well. It could have gone sideways for them right away and then we never would have gotten Royal Scam, Aja, etc

The fact that they could pull off such excellent Jazz-influenced, funky, Rock-Pop shows that they were, indeed, elite, but their lyric writing was pretty edgy.
