    Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "Aja", "Deacon Blues", "Josie" and many more!!! Donald Fagen(singer/songwriter, keys) and Walter Becker(guitar) were perfectionists. Their album 'Aja' won a Grammy for best engineered album. They just assembled the best studio musicians and produced the greatest, coolest, smoothest music! Deep rabbit hole here guys!

    "Do It Again", "Reelin' in the Years", "My Old School", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", "Kid Charlemagne", "Deacon Blues", "Peg", "FM (No Static at All)" ... These songs filled the radio airwaves throughout in the 70's. "Hey Nineteen" capped off the decade in 1980. Each tells a tale of its own. "Kid Charlemagne" spins a tale about the way Owsley Stanley finished The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. And wtih a super great guitar solo too!

    The groups name is Steely Dan. 2 guys, Donald Fagen (Vocals) Walter Becker (Bass and guitars) and they hired studio session Musicians to come in and make the music. This is why the Music is so smooth and perfect.. Simply the best Music ever.. This song was about addictions and habits, we go back and do it all over again..

    @appledoreman 2 года назад +26

    Their later albums sold more, but for me, they never bettered this, their debut. Well, clever, six-note jazz chords are no substitute for melody. 'Do it again' is a tale of our times: a guy goes out, commits a crime, gets caught, is mildly punished, goes out & does it again - slap-on-the-wrist treatment, you see. You can choose any track on this album & not go wrong. The theme throughout is of a world that constantly turns, but never changes.

      @appledoreman 2 года назад +2

      @@robertpearson8798 I like this album because it perfectly straddles pop & jazz - the tunes are hummable, yet open to improvisation. Also, the consistency (both lyrically & musically) from track to track is amazing. To me, their music became less & less accessible & appealing as their career progressed, but, as you say, that's personal taste.

    Gentle Giant/Pink Floyd/Kansas/early Genesis/Return to Forever/Weather Report/Funkadelic /Osabisa/MALO/Jethro Tull...
    ... courtship was via giving book's on philosophy,
    And albums so they would know we're you were coming from.
