Our Take

FAGEN & BECKER's latest offering, "You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It," is a time capsule straight out of the '70s. The duo's trademark blend of jazz, rock, and R&B is on full display here, with intricate guitar work, smooth vocals, and funky basslines aplenty.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're transported to a smoky jazz club, where you can almost smell the cigarettes and cocktails. The production is crisp, the arrangements are tight, and the songwriting is top-notch. It's clear that Donald Fagen and Walter Becker still have the magic touch after all these years.

Standout tracks like "Groove for Grover" and "Funky Town" showcase the duo's ability to blend genres seamlessly, while more introspective cuts like "Just a Fool" and "Empty Promises" reveal a deeper, more contemplative side to their songwriting.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The lyrics are filled with poetic and often surreal imagery, tackling themes of love, loss, and the human condition. It's a mature, nuanced record that rewards repeated listens.

In short, "You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It" is a triumph for FAGEN & BECKER. It's a masterclass in musical craftsmanship and a testament to their enduring creativity. So grab yourself a whiskey on the rocks, sit back, and let this album take you on a soulful, groove-filled journey. You won't regret it.
