They use a technique of clashing the bass note against the chords (instead of anchoring the chords with a root note) which creates a unique jazz flavor.

LOL - not exactly - the bass does sometimes play an inversion (for example the third or fifth or seventh) instead of the root. not a "clash"

Greetings retro reactions. I was 22 yrs old in 1977 living in west LosAngeles, Venice & Santa Monica California. It was a very magical time StealyDan has always gone way pass above & beyond perfection. There are too many to name of the magnificent music of the 70’s So happy to have been there with the ear/orgasm & ear/candy

Their early albums were heavy on guitar with two players in the band. But as time went by they kept getting jazzier with add'l keyboards and horns and used the guitar as accents.

If you didn’t know this album was, allegedly, at the time the most expensive album ever recorded. 1 million dollars. They were one of the only bands that could attract the jazz greats to play on their records. Best band. Ever.

You can pretty much throw a dart at a list of Steely Dan songs and hit something great. Black Cow has an incredible loping groove which naturally has attracted the sampling attention of hip-hop producers, and Josie got some of that treatment as well. Along those lines, you oughta check out to "Kid Charlemagne" from the album prior to this, "The Royal Scam". It's got a flawless drum and bass groove by Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey, and a top-10-of-all-time guitar solo by Larry Carlton. The song was famously sampled by Kanye West after he wrote a pen-and-paper letter to Becker and Fagen to ask permission rather than the more typical email or phone call.

Donald Fagan and Walter Becker were/are quite the duo, it is as if they fed off of each other …….. I believe this entire album is to me the absolute, BEST album ever !!!! RIP Walter Becker, I miss hearing your great guitar licks !!!!! Very hard to choose a favorite song here. This is just the finest creation of music, IMHO ……. Musicianship, writing, performances, and the backup singers are such a gift with SD sound. My FAVORITE ALBUM TO DATE !!!😘

It's amazing that there was so much great music in October 1978 that this gem reached only #26 on the Billboard Hot 100. Placing even higher that week were some other amazing songs like the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden," Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman," Gerry Rafferty's "Right Down the Line," Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band's "Hollywood Nights," Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You," and Exile's "Kiss You All Over."

Great reaction! You can react to other masterpieces from them: Don't take me alive (with a fantastic Carlton's guitar solo at the intro of the song), The Caves of Altamira (incredible changes of piano chords!), King of the workd (intertwining "liquid" guitars!), Fire in the hole (with an incredibile jazz piano by Donald Fagen).

Steely Dan rarely uses all Brass without Woodwinds in their arrangements. It's probably safest to say, Horns. This is, perhaps, only a quibble that a long-time horn player such as myself would make. Best. Mike.

Synthesizers in 1977 weren't sophisticated enough to make that brass sound. They were moving beyond a "squonk" noise. But mostly they sounded like what you would think of as a keyboard sound. The Cars' first album in 1978 will give you the idea of what synthesizers were up to in the late 1970s. Great stuff, really added to a song, but certainly not like today's synths that can sound nearly convincingly like any instrument in the orchestra.

Some really great laid-back sounds on this album. Probably the most jazzy, uptempo, and relatively unloved song on the album is "I Got the News" which features a little vocal solo by Michael McDonald in the middle 8.

Borrowing a phrase from another reactor: " They just don't miss "... " Deacon Blues ", " Home At Last , " I Got The News " from this album are fire also(you've done " Aja " and " Peg "). " Josie " might be Steely Dan's hardest rocker(along with the song " Black Friday ", from the album " Katy Lied ") RIP Walter Becker
