Album Of The Week (10/13-10/19)


Steely Dan has, for as long as I can remember, been one of my favorite bands. I don't know exactly what it is about them, but they have always struck a chord with me. Nothing gets better than their 1972 debut album, "Can't Buy A Thrill." Walter Becker and Donald Fagan, along with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, created a rock album that blended both pop and jazz elements. Highlights from the album include "Do It Again," "Dirty Work," and "Midnight Cruiser," along with one of my all-time favorite songs "Reelin' In The Years."

Reelin in the Years" always takes me back to a certain time and place, its a great song. I've always liked Steely Dan too. Great musicians.
