Our Take

Steely Dan, the iconic jazz-rock duo known for their slick grooves and sophisticated lyrics, have taken us on a journey through the Origins of Steely Dan with their latest album. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's unique sound is on full display here, as they delve into the early influences that shaped their music.

From the jazzy opening track "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo," to the funky vibes of "Brooklyn," this album is a must-listen for any Steely Dan fan. Fagen's smooth vocals and Becker's intricate guitar work are as sharp as ever, proving that these rock legends still have plenty to offer.

One standout track is "Android Warehouse," a funky yet introspective tune that showcases the duo's ability to blend genres with ease. The funky bassline and catchy chorus make this song a standout on an album filled with hits.

Overall, Origins of Steely Dan is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the band, while also serving as a solid introduction for newcomers. Fagen and Becker's chemistry is undeniable, and their musical prowess is on full display throughout this record.

About the artist

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker

DONALD FAGEN & WALTER BECKER It's not often that two musical geniuses come together to create something truly legendary, but that's exactly what happened when Donald Fagen and Walter Becker joined forces to form the iconic jazz-rock band, Steely Dan. Hailing from New York City, these two were destined for greatness from the moment they first met at Bard College in the late 1960s. Fagen, with his smooth-as-butter vocals and impeccable keyboard skills, effortlessly complements Becker's wicked guitar licks and darkly humorous lyrical prowess. Together, they crafted an unmistakable sound that blends elements of jazz, pop, and rock like no other. With their slick production, sophisticated melodies, and sardonic wit, Steely Dan became pioneers of the 1970s music scene. Their critically acclaimed albums, such as "Aja" and "Pretzel Logic," showcase Fagen and Becker's unparalleled ability to create intricate, multi-layered compositions that continue to stand the test of time. Their songs, like "Do It Again" and "Reelin' in the Years," are instant classics that never fail to get audiences grooving. Despite their success, Fagen and Becker have always maintained an air of mystery and aloofness, preferring to let their music speak for itself. But make no mistake, behind those cool exterior lies a pair of musical masterminds who have left an indelible mark on the industry. So, if you're looking for music that's equal parts sophisticated and subversive, look no further than Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. With Steely Dan, they've created a timeless body of work that continues to captivate and inspire music lovers around the world.
