Also on this album is the seldom played "Everything You Did" which is notable because the line "Turn up The Eagles, the neighbors are listening" prompted the Eagles to respond with the line "They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast." on "Hotel California".

@manhattenman6075 Год назад

The Royal Scam in my opinion is one of their best albums. 9 banger songs with Jazz and Funky sax and amazing lyrics: Kid Charlemagne, The Caves Of Altamira, Don’t Take Me Alive, The Fez, Haitian Divorce And The title track. Each tell a different interesting story. Great album!

@ljsites Год назад

Couldn’t agree with you more! This may be the pinnacle album from Steely Dan.

@gjp8734 Год назад

Classic album 🔥

@davidheiser2225 Год назад

And all the stories have a common theme - escape from some particular situation or consequence.

Def my favorite.

@briangray00 Год назад

@@ljsites I think it's the LP that they truly hit their stride. There's a lot to love about the earlier ones, though...

@groovytribemedia9231 Год назад

Just a little geeky side note here for you, Justin. A Dolly is a movie making term used when a camera is set on a track. ( It looks a bit like a train track) One person is operating the camera and another is pulling or pushing the camera on the track. You can dolly forward into the action or in this case, dolly back out with a fade to finish the shot. Great track from a great band who can do no wrong in my eyes.

@guitarelaxed Год назад

The guitar solo was played by Dean Parks without the talkbox effect. Walter Becker reamped the recorded guitar signal to the talkbox in the mixdown and did "the talking".

@stevemd6488 Год назад

I thought it was Skunk Baxter then Becker reamped etc. But I don't know I'm probably wrong, recalling it from an old interview.

Haiti was once a common destination due to it's very liberal one-party no fault divorce laws. She went to get her divorce and played around, apparently had a change of heart and reconciled when she went home, but she also brought back an unexpected souvenir.

@davidheiser2225 Год назад

"Fade to black" is a movie reference but so is "dolly back", which refers to rolling the camera back from a scene.

@weepstah Год назад

This song has risen up the ranks of my favorite Dan songs in recent years. The song is so well constructed and lyrically has such great lines. The dolly back and fade to black are both movie terms - a dolly back is where the camera moves backwards from the scene.

@briangray00 Год назад

Now we dolly back, now we fade to black is a really neat couplet. I searched for dolly in the comments; the suggestion is that they toddled off back somewhere for sex is the implied meaning, for the hard of understanding.

@bigdav47 Год назад

Has to be one of the greatest numbers of all time! Incredible guitar work, brilliant lyrics and song structure. Anybody who dislikes this, simply has no soul. Music does not get better.

@stevemd6488 Год назад

My favorite Dan album and I consider it their best (yes even better than Aja). Most songs are in a minor key, gives the album this dark feel, and it closes with the title track which is just an amazing song. Thanks JP.

@keithjones7390 Год назад

AJA? It's overrated! 😅 No it's a fantastic album, but it's the earlier albums l love the most with Pretzel Logic being favourite and The Royal Scam second. I'd go as far as saying that PL is one of my favourite albums of all time, it's those short snappy songs like Through With Buzz, Barrytown and an all time favourite With a Gun.

@stevemd6488 Год назад

The raspy talk box contrasted by the polished crystal vibraphone. This is a whole movie plot - somehow in 7 minutes.

@sonicart1808 Год назад

So Funky...like all Steely Dan tracks, this groove is in the pocket! Fagen & Becker really knew how to write & arrange to perfection.... loved your analysis as always JP thanks.

@XFLexiconMatt Год назад

Thank you Justin reacting to this, it was on one of their "Greatest Hits" compilations, but tends to get overlooked.

@williamosborne6866 Год назад

The talk box guitar was done by Dean Parks and edited By Walter Becker - one of my all-time favorites by SD. BTW, there are more great guitarists on this album than any other - along with the aforementioned session master Dean Parks, there are Walter Becker, Elliot Randall (who also played on "Reelin' In The Years" and two other SD albums and a session list longer than Interstate 95), plus unrivalled jazz wizard Larry Carlton. An epic collection of iconic tracks.

@bobholtzmann Год назад

Nice to hear Walter's guitar effect -- you can also hear it on "The East St. Louis Toodle-oo" from the Pretzel Logic album.

@RogerGoodgroves Год назад

I believe it was to guitarists dubbed over, can't remember who the other was though

@kayvancooten4657 Год назад

@mikeloomis687 Год назад

This was also a "Reggae" song the radio host would play occasionally on the "Reggae Revolution" radio show on KNAC and KROQ in Los Angeles back in the late 1980's. I think the show came on the weekend in the evenings and I would tune in. When he played this song my heart would sing; being the Dandom fan that I am. This entire album, JP, is fire!

@rsm3t Год назад

"Dolly back" -- cinematic lingo for when a camera on a dolly is slowly withdrawn from a scene, creating a zoom-out effect. Which might happen before a fade to black.

@cliffordlowerre1381 Год назад

Love the Dan! Great album! They love to inject humor in their music. Appropriate to have a reggae feel to "Haitian Divorce"!

@MichaelTrogdon1990 Год назад

A very cool unique song. I love Steely Dan.

@sammelis6777 Год назад

You should definitely listen to the whole album

@jamesreynolds4811 Год назад

“Dolly back” refers to a zoom out shot in film. Cameras were big and heavy so often mounted on a track with wheels (dolly). So “dolly back and we fade to black) means zoom out and fade to black, a technique used to suggest sexy time in older films.

@cosmiccat6708 Год назад

Not a Steely Dan fan per se but in 1976 there were two stand out songs played on the radio that caught my attention and both, coincidentally using talk boxes!. One was "Show Me The Way", Peter Frampton and this one. I love the smoothness of this song and that guitar is just sublime. Still love it to this day.

Joe Walsh on Rocky Mountain Way.

Keyboard excellence with just a random drummer , by the name of Phil Collins . What would I know 😂

"Incompatbile de caractere" Back in the day when divorce was not so simple. One could fly or boat to Haiti, state above quote, you're divorced!(The French were so much more liberal then!) Fun fact same effect Dean Parks uses(with Walter Becker manipulating the talk-box), was used in Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"! Peace & Love.

I like how we have such different tastes, experiences, and perceptions when it comes to music but invariably come together grooving to the Dan. I have said it before and will say it again, too clever for one’s good. What a cool tune though… must be the lotion.

@spartacusforlife1508 Год назад

Steely dan , for me, were the greatest band there ever was but the older I get I've started to listen to some music I turned my nose up at in the 70's, easy listening. Check out the Alessi brothers " oh Lori ' and Andrew Golds " never let her slip away."

@frankbarbaro4363 Год назад

@ernestallen7989 Год назад

The Dan always feature excellent guitar work on their albums, but The Royal Scam has it in spades.

@paulhansberry8168 Год назад

It's hard to go wrong with Steely Dan. Even their 'mundane' cuts were pretty good. There 1st album Can't Buy A Thrill(1972) was on everybody's turntable, black, white, brown, young, old, male, female, they had it playing, they became famous and well off almost overnight it seemed, so .good

@TZ61 Год назад

As a long-time, big film noir fan, those cryptic lyrics Becker and Fagen employed make a little more sense in my world. In this one I see Mitchum and Jane Greer, get a strong suppor...ah wait they did that. Solid overview after one listen; thanks for loving the music. Oh, I don't know how much you've done from 'Countdown', but it's their best album, just facts, as the kids say today, lol.

@keithjones7390 Год назад

How can 'Countdown' be their best album when obviously Pretzel Logic is the best! 😊

@mikeloomis687 Год назад

Gentlemen (keith jones and TZ61) I can honestly say that Steely Dan fans definitely have a favorite and personally rated "best" SD album. SD fans as a whole are very musically astute and a bit picky. I have observed from many comments across the myriad of SD song reactions on YT that ANY of their albums from 1972-1980 is one's favorite. A real tribute to a great American Band.

@BrixtonTone Год назад

Great tune, great album. I'm still a bit surprised that whilst this album and Aja gets so much praise, few people mention "Gaucho" . Don't get me wrong, I do have ALL their albums in my collection but with tunes like Babylon Sisters, Hey Nineteen, Time out of Mind and the title track Gaucho it remains my Steely Dan go to album.

@keithjones7390 Год назад

My go to Steely Dan album is Pretzel Logic, yes all their albums are wonderful (except maybe Everything Must Go 😮) but PL has been my favourite for years.

@briangray00 Год назад

Context: They knocked out an outstanding LP (at least) every year 1972 to 1977, then the Dandom had to wait nearly 3 years for Gaucho (Yes I know it's normal nowadays for it to take so long). + it wasn't Aja - it didn't sell as many; of course Gaucho is lovely - it bloody well should be, given the time and pains taken to make it. My understanding is that Gen Z *really* understandably like Gaucho (they didn't have to wait for it).. . I'd maintain The Royal Scam is when they really became great, allowing them to formulate (and cash in on..) Aja. I think they coasted Gaucho, albeit with great musicians/tunes/songs/engineering. Fagen's Nightfly is a step up, though.

For Steely Dan, a good track. For 99% of other artists, a great track. There are better tracks on The Royal Scam(their best album, it says here). I used to dislike it, but, it has aged well, especially musically. I've always wondered if Walter and Donald heard Joe Walsh using the " talk box "on Walsh's " Rocky Mountain Way " and thought: " we can do that even better " RIP Walter Becker

@Eduardo-Ferreira1982 Год назад
