Please check out "Kid Charlemagne".👍
YES!!!!
Yep, Kid Charlemagne is a jam!
YES!!!
You can’t go wrong with Steely Dan. Tom Scott plays tenor sax on this track. Listen to Kid Charlemagne next. You won’t be sorry!
Agree!
Yep.
Pp out
Definitely!
Kid Charlemagne. My Old School. Josie. FM. All bangers.
Peg, Bodhisattva, Ricky don’t lose that number, and so on.
Here's all you need to know. STEELY DAN IS YOUR FAVORITE BAND'S FAVORITE BAND.
You have to hear “Deacon Blues” next. It’s my favorite on this album and overall favorite Steely Dan jam. But, like others have said, the whole Aja album is bomb.
Every Steely Dan song is great! Take a listen to Babylon Sisters. It’s another gem.
Royal Scam... gold standard of production.
Black Cow drink equals Kahlua, chocolate ice cream, root beer and whipped cream. Very high caloric content.
Donald Fagen - lead vocals, synthesizer
Paul Humphrey - drums
Chuck Rainey - bass guitar
Victor Feldman - Fender Rhodes
Joe Sample - clavinet
Larry Carlton - guitar
Tom Scott - tenor saxophone
Clydie King, Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews, Rebecca Louis - backing vocals
I may be wrong, but I think Victor Feldman did the keys solo not Fagen. Larry Carlton is a great jazz guitarist who played on many SD albums. Tom Scott a great jazz sax player. Chuck Rainey played a lot of bass for SD. Fagen and Becker were perfectionists in the studio. They wanted the sound to be laid back and funky without TRYING to make it sound that way.
Now that you've already popped the cherry off the best jazz rock fusion album of all time, you might as well go in order and do the entire album.
It's a true flawless masterpiece.
The other way to go is back to the 1st album and see how they progressed.
Yes Victor Feldman electric piano live on the date!
'Like a gangster, on the run, you will stagger home to your precious one"
This was not Disco. This was FUNK. Jazz Fusion funk.
SD was always a jazz/R&B hybrid. Played like rock over the first 3 albums. B ut even Do it Again was R&B/soul music.
@jml-rj5re
My comment was more specifically about Black Cow, and Aja in general, but whatever.
@@kbrewski1 Yes. I understood. I was expanding the point. Steely Dan's music over the arc of their career has often been misunderstood.
AJA was the album that stereo salesmen in the late 70s and 80s would use to demo their high end stereo equipment. Or, people like me would bring the AJA album to the stereo shops to compare speakers.
And the first album I played on my brand new Technics turntable from my first legit paycheck. I still remember that moment vividly
Wait until you hear this whole album
I bought this album when it came out, I was in middle school. I played it and played it. I studied the covrer art. I listened like it was the holy grail. Great to feel your common wonder of them.
i'am 67 years old I've started listening to steely Dan when I was 16years old
Yep. Adjust for an extra year.
✊🏼😊🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
64 and started when I was 12>>1972.
@@kbrewski1 Same here.
So glad you’re digging Steely Dan. Check out Kid Charlemagne.
Babylon Sisters or The Royal Scam are pure musical genius.
Many of Steely Dan's songs were sampled by hip hop artists, including Black Cow. Did you recognize the opening beat? (Hint: Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz)
Try Hey nineteen ....Drink some Cuervo gold and some fine columbian smoke before you listen to this
They used 40 session musicians to complete Aja! And it was on repeat in my world at the time! Much to my husband's dismay I listened to it over and over! I was blessed to see them a few years ago, of course just Donald left but it was incredible just the same! Keep on in the rabbit hole. You won't find a bad one. Thanks!
Everything on The Royal Scam and AJA
arguably the best band of all time....GOATS and its a perfect puffing tune
You gotta do HOME AT LAST & DEACON BLUES both from the same album as PEG and Black Cow !!
The grooviest break-up song of all time😀 I think you would like every song on this album. As much as you like SD musicianship, their lyrics are just as good. Great reaction!
If you're going to dive deep in the Dan, do the AJA album in order. It flows. Jumbled up won't be as satisfying. Jumping around in their career won't be as rewarding either.
Arguable the finest album ever recorded. Every song is awesome. Review the entire thing and even Black Cow again in the context of Aja. Also, "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)". exists because of Black Cow
My FAVORITE song by them. #1. Always & forever.
Deacon blues and hey nineteen
Chillax with Steely Dan !
Yes!! I am so glad you love them! The entire Aja album is one of the best albums ever made start to finish.
Been jamming to SD for 50 yrs.
You picked the right group,.. you never know what to expect, but always worth your time.
Liked "Grooviest duo..." That's SD in a nutshell !! :)
You will NEVER hear a bad Dan song -- some cuts you may like more than others, but seriously, Don & Walt's shit is better than most bands' Shinola.
EVERY dang song is worth a dozen listens and each time you do, you'll cop a tasty, new lick in the background, or get a new insight/chuckle from the lyrics.
There are 9 Steely Dan albums, 4 solo LPs from Donald, 2 from Walter, and several albums worth of live or unreleased work -- we're talkin' the neighborhood of 160 tracks -- and virtually every goldurn one is a sonic confection guaranteed to give ya that sweet-ol' stank-face.
FYI -- for almost 50 YEARS, every savvy audio salesman in the whole dang world has relied upon The Dan to move their merchandise.
Innocent peeps just be boppin' down the street and that groove lures them into the store -- half-an-hour later they bop out the door smilin' with their brand-new $900 stereo system!
Ergo, The Dan set The Cash-Money-Gold Standard for musical quality that has endured for almost half a century!
Just lettin' ya know about what kinda majorly cool rabbit hole yer fixin' to go down....😎😎
Yes, especially if we're talking about 7 albums from 72-80, I can truly only think of maybe 5 songs that I'd leave off a playlist. That's batting pretty damn close to a thousand.
If you liked this you'll love 'Babylon Sisters'
Donald Fagen writing about seeing a girlfriend coming into a late night diner in New York (Rudy's) strung out on heroin. "I saw you at Rudy's, you were very high...a crying disgrace..on the counter by your keys, was a book of novels and your 'remedies' one of these, surely will screen out the sorrow, but where are you tomorrow?"
A 'Black Cow.' A drink popularized in New York in the 1970's, famous with heroin addicts coming down from a binge (craving sugar). The Black Cow is made of Soda Water, Vanilla Ice Cream, Kahlua, Vodka and Chocolate Syrup. A "Black Cow" - "Drink it and get out of here."
What should you say you ask? You should say I'm going to listen to all their songs.
They were simply The Best!
The line goes "Steely Dan is your favorite band's favorite band", and it's no lie!
My senior year of high school…too cool for school!😹😽💋🎶
Deacon Blues next You won’t regret it nuff said
Now you have to listen to Deacon Blues.
You really need to do Hey Nineteen
Keyboards you want, keyboards we got. Try Leon Russell's "A Song for You." An absolute classic. Covered by many, many artists. Listen to the 1970's version. Leon is one of the greats. "Lady Blue" is another monster hit.
Easily in top ten best albums of the 1970's, Aja is a masterpiece
NO NO NO NO NO ..... "Aja" the title track of..."Aja"
One of THE greatest drum solos in rock history.
Yeah, "Deacon Blues", you won't be disappointed!
Enjoy the journey, they have a huge catalog of great songs.
Check out FM (no staiic at all) welcome to the rabbi hole.
I think you'll love Kid Charlemagne, Haitian Divorce, Don't Take me Alive and The Royal Scam(Title Track) and AJA (Title Track) will make your head explode. Also Hey Nineteen and Time out of Mind from the Gaucho album. And don't forget FM.
So many great songs from various albums. Reelin in the Years, Your Old School, Peg, Josie, Haitian Divorce, Deacon Blues, the list just goes on and on.
Love the horns in this, including the brass.
Don't forget the trumpet and trombone together, that was a killer combination.
Simply put, Steely Dan is “so outrageous.”
They have so many great songs....keep going
Another song off this same album also with a great groove is "Josie".
Definitely a lay back, drink, roll big blunt and maybe shrooms and such. At least that’s what we did in ‘70’s 😊
"Green Earrings"... that's gonna leave a mark.
Oh, and about where they're from: Dutchess is just the name of the county, about 50 or so miles north of NYC on the Hudson River.
Not Dutch- just hipsters. 👍
Bodhisattva....Black Friday are a must!
Bodhisattva has an absolutely scorching guitar part....
❤️🔥Please react to Steely Dan -Kid Charlemagne -Dirty Work -Do It Again -Deacon Blue -Rikki Don't Lose that Number -My Old School -Reeling in the Years -Josie
Sounds like someone has a "greatest hits" album....
Fagen is a Jewish guy who grew up in New Jersey, Becker grew up in the Bronx. They went to a small liberal arts college north of NYC called Bard College in the late 60s. They were both English majors. They got arrested on a campus drug bust by G Gordon Liddy, who went on to be one of Nixon's Watergate henchmen.
Great to see how you’ve climbed the mountain and found the incomparable Steely Dan near or at the top of it.
@poweredbyjoymusic
?? I've been a Steely Dan since I was 12 in 1972. Seen them live 20+ times.
Thanks ❤️ like your style The Dan is it😅
This album Aja when it came out was the most expensively produced album ever in the history of music over a million dollars was put into it and every high-end audio store would use it to show off their great equipment
It's AJA.
@@kbrewski1 I know that and I'm sorry I didn't correct that. I did one of those voice to text thingies as I hate typing on my phone and did not bother to check. Thanks for the correction
Don’t Take Me Alive
My Old School
Josie
FM
Deacon Blues
You will be adding a lot more songs than these few to your catalog guaranteed!
Steely Dan, your favorite bands favorite band🔥🤘✌
What does Steely Dan mean in slang?
Steely Dan is the name of a sex toy. The name was taken from a strap-on-dildo, named Steely Dan III from Yokohama, that was mentioned in William S. Burroughs' novel Naked Lunch. Steely Dan found inspiration for their band name in the pages of beat writer William S. Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch
Teahouse on the Tracks next mate.
Followed by their entire back catalogue.
Known fact: whenever you listen to Steely Dan,you become approximately 30% cooler.
So they are good for your health and general well-being too…..win win.
If it were me doing reactions of SD for the first time, I'd start with the KATY LIED album. That was their 1st album as a non touring band, with Fagen and Becker as a duo, with session musicians. Before that, they were more of a normal touring rock band. Their move toward the jazz fusion funk of AJA really started with KATY LIED. Just my opinion.
Just love your reactions! Started following you for the dan, it's only just begun!
Wikipedia is good on details fir Steely Dan.
"Black Cow"
Donald Fagen - lead vocals, synthesizer
Paul Humphrey - drums
Chuck Rainey - bass guitar
Victor Feldman - Fender Rhodes
Joe Sample - clavinet
Larry Carlton - guitar
Tom Scott - tenor saxophone
Clydie King, Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews, Rebecca Louis - backing vocals
Black Cow has been sampled 14 times.
Aja is on my short list of flawless albums. The title song is amazing. Then check Joe Jackson "Look Sharp." The title track to his debut. He came out of the punk scene, but wanted to be a jazz pianist and this is basically his version of Aja. (In my opinion. I haven't read anything officially connecting the songs.)
Joe Jackson is a huge Steely Dan fan. Frequently covers Dan songs in his concerts. Last time I saw him about 10 years ago, he played Any Major Dude.
@@kbrewski1 Very cool. Do you hear what I'm talking about regarding Look Sharp, though?
@johncampbell756
With all due respect to JJ, Look Sharp! is a good album, but nothing close to Aja. JJ switches styles song to song.
@@kbrewski1 I was talking about the title tracks only. That Look Sharp is stripped down punk version of Aja with the piano and drums section in the middle. The two albums have no other real similarities.
@johncampbell756
The 2 songs aren't in any way similar. One is gritty new wave punk pop, one is a progressive jazz fusion funk masterpiece that is complex, smooth and soulful.
JJ has many other songs with jazzier analogies. Not sure what your obsession is about.
Steely Dan is so cool. They were master’s at getting taboo subjects from on the charts. Black Cow isn’t one of them. Even the name of the band. I can’t say it in the comments but my clue is William Burroughs’ novel Naked Lunch.
Black Cow is a drink. It's basically a root beer float with chocolate syrup, with or without Kahlua. I love the funky sound of this one.
It is a BIG rabbit hole to go down. You have another 25+ songs to go.
"FM" is a must if you want groovy
Pretty famously sampled by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz in Deja Vu (Uptown Baby). Donald & Walter's reaction to winning their lawsuit is pretty cheeky ruclips.net/video/_m6ejkF-cSk/видео.html
Just wait to you hear the other songs on this album! You have to hear Aja and Josie for sure! Wow!
My brother you haven’t even scratched the surface. Keep cranking! BTW you need a good pair of headphones to appreciate the superior production.
I DARE you to do "King of the World"... 💯😎
One of the first Vinyl albums I ever bought, who would have known it would also be one of the greatest albums ever produced and one of my all-time favorites. Coincidently, Billy Joel's "The Stranger" came out about the same time, another great and classic album. BTW, "Josie:" is a great, great song. You'll love the bass line on that song.
"Dirty Work" a hit single and a track off the 'Steely Dan' 'Can't Buy a Thrill' debut album released back in 1972 is worth checking out if not already done so. "Dirty Work" has a smooth flow and a delightful listen. The Clavinet clavichord (keyboards) and tenor saxophone enhance this recording up several notches. The lyrics conveyed in the song are revealing as well.🎤🎷🎸🎹🥁🔊☮📻🎧
So many great songs! BARRYTOWN IS so good. DOCTUR WU
ANY MAJOR DUDE
Everyone will try to rush you into listening to their "hits". Hey Nineteen, Josie, Peg, Reelin in the Years, Kid Charlemagne etc. All good, don't get me wrong. But their GEMS are the deep cuts.
DOCTOR WU
HERE AT THE WESTERN WORLD
RAZOR BOY
YOUR GOLD TEETH
YOUR GOLD TEETH II
ANY MAJOR DUDE
DON'T TAKE ME ALIVE
AJA TITLE TRACK of course
Many more...
I agree!
A lot of people pick up on that "disco vibe" you mentioned. This album was released in 1977, one of the peak years of disco, and you can hear the influence even on groups like Steely Dan, especially in their songs "Peg" and "Josie" off this album. Both "Josie" and "Peg" were big radio hits at the time.
Peg is the most "discoey" on Aja. But I think the Royal Scam album as a whole is much more disco affected. Kid Charlemagne, The Fez, Green Earrings etc.
Watching music lovers discover Steely Dan will *never* get old for me.
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz pay a nice royalty check to Steely Dan for the sample! Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)...such a funky intro!
Steely Dan is the shit. Every song features all the best session musicians in the world. Gangster had a different meaning in 1977. It's not the same as gangsta.
Somehow they always combine obsessive meticulous preparation with amazing grooves.
Welcome to the "Stelly Dan" fan club, I watched your "Peg, reaction, I first was introduced to 'Stelly Dan " when I was 18 years old back in 1978. Been a fan since
Hey Nineteen, Deacon Blues, FM, Any Major Dude....
My list of Steely Dan songs you should listen to: "Jack of Speed," "Hey Nineteen," "Babylon Sisters," Pretzel Logic," "King of the World," "The Things I Miss the Most," "Haitian Divorce," "My Old School," and lots of others.
Every Steely Dan song/album is excellent, but Aja is considered their masterpiece. Much jazzier than their earlier works, but this is very intellectual music and the best-produced album, at least up till that time. And another vote for Kid Charlemagne next!
It's sooo smooth n groovy it's Smooovy. It feels like butter melting over a stack of hot flapjacks... (yes, borrowed movie line...)
The ladies singing were studio backup. Used as they needed and engineered. SD was Jazz Funk fusion. Lead into influence of Al Jarreau, Herbie Hancock, Gato Barbieri, etc.
They got you ! Just like so many millions.......... LOL Enjoy them .

I know you’ve probably heard it a hundred times…but….Headphones 😊
You’ll never go back 🔥🔥🔥
You can’t go wrong with steely Dan. Pick your poison.
If you really want to groove, try "Show Biz Kids" and "FM"
By the way, if you didn't recognize it.... "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz sampled the groove and opening sounds.
They're the best! Try 'Home at Last' Wait until you hear the Purdie Shuffle!!
I looked for your reaction to the title track Aja on the album Aja. I can't find it......yet! I might subscribe so I am notified when THAT happens. Given your reactions thus far, there is NO doubt in my mind that you'll love that tune.
