Our Take

Another day, another dive into the discography of the enigmatic duo that is Steely Dan. This time, we're taking a trip down memory lane to revisit their 1980 album, Gaucho.

From the smooth jazz-infused rhythms to the cheeky, cryptic lyrics, Gaucho is a testament to the band's undeniable coolness. Donald Fagen's silky vocals paired with Walter Becker's intricate guitarwork make for a match made in musical heaven.

Opening track "Babylon Sisters" sets the tone perfectly, with its infectious groove and clever wordplay. The title track "Gaucho" is a laid-back masterpiece that showcases the band's knack for blending genres seamlessly.

But it's tracks like "Hey Nineteen" and "Time Out of Mind" that truly stand out on this album. The former oozes with nostalgia and longing, while the latter is a haunting ballad that will linger in your mind long after the music fades.

Of course, no Steely Dan album would be complete without a healthy dose of saxophone solos and funky basslines, and Gaucho delivers on all fronts.

In true Steely Dan fashion, Gaucho is a complex, multi-layered album that rewards repeated listens. So grab a glass of fine scotch, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Steely Dan transport you to a world of sophistication and style.
