Can’t Buy a Thrill by Steely Dan This is Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's debut album as Steely Dan. Taking their name from the William S. Burroughs novel "Naked Lunch," Becker's guitar work and Fagen's keyboard and vocals combine in a jazz-rock fusion, and Can't Buy a Thrill shows a lot of smoothness and diversity from jazz to latin to straight-ahead rock guitar. This is a stellar debut album from a group who would go on to create a string of hits throughout the 70's, and have a staying power that lives on today. Do It Again This song made it to number 6 on the U.S. charts in 1973, making it Steely Dan's second highest charting song. Waylon Jennings covered "Do It Again" in 1980 Dirty Work With David Palmer on lead vocals, Dirty Work has a very different sound than most Steely Dan songs. Steely Dan was encouraged to pursue this sound as more commercially accessible, but the band would consolidate on Fagen's vocals instead. Midnite Cruiser A deeper cut off the album, Midnite Cruiser has the distinct harmonies and jazz chord progressions we've come to identify with Steely Dan. Drummer Jim Hodder fronts the vocals with lyrics like "Drive me to Harlem or somewhere the same," showing the musical geography that shaped Becker and Fagen. Reelin in the Years Elliott Randall plays guitar on this song. Jimmy Page considered the solo from this song as his favorite of all time. What clever lyrics: "You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen/in all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean." "The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand." Entertainment Track: Theme from Maude. This TV series took its cue from the women's liberation movement. Staff Picks: The Moody Blues - I'm Just A Singer in a Rock and Roll Band Bruce points out that the lyrics of this song is a reaction to fans who took the lyrics of the Moody Blues too seriously. The songs of this album "Seventh Sojourn" were overshadowed by the re-release of "Days of Future Past" along the same time. The Raspberries - I Wanna Be with You Wayne brings us the Raspberries formed in Cleveland in 1970. Eric Carmen (writer of "Hungry Eyes and "All By Myself", and not to be confused with Eric Cartman from Southpark), fronts this group. The Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music One of Brian's favorites, this is the first hit off the Toulouse Street album which came out in September of 1972. The Doobie Brothers often close their concerts with this song. It is a call to peace. Jim Croce - Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) Rob takes a mellow turn with his staff pick. Croce tells the story of a lonely guy calling the operator, and was inspired by seeing GI's on base lining up to call home. Great lyrics from a master storyteller. Laugh Track: Isaac Hayes - this is the theme from the TV show, "The Men." Hayes' soulful theme finishes off our podcast this week. “Yeah....baby....how ya feelin'?...” (say it in a low voice like Isaac and see where it gets you).

They are, for me, the All Time Greatest Artists ( with the Beatles and Bob... ). It is impossible to describe the Steely Dan's Style... It sounds very californian but with a New Yorker touch'.... These 3 albums sounds very 70' with very good quality of recording. Welcome in the 70's wild side music... The Pre-Dan Era Donald Fagen is born in Passaic, New Jersey on January 10, 1948. Walter Becker is born in New York City on February 20, 1950. They both grew up as disaffected suburban youths, going to school in the daytime and listening to the music of their idols Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane at night. They both feel an affinity with the "Jazz Life." Donald Fagen meets Walter Becker at Bard College in Annandale-On Hudson, New York in 1967. Fagen, a piano player, hears someone playing blues guitar in a student lounge and decides he must introduce himself. He discovers Becker playing a red Epiphone guitar and finds that they share the same interests in music and ironic senses of humor. A partnership is born. They form several college bands including "The Leather Canary" (which fellow Bard student Chevy Chase sat in with a couple of times) and "The Don Fagen Trio." Fagen and Becker also start to write songs together. Fagen graduates Bard in 1969 with an English degree. Becker also leaves Annandale. The two of them move to Brooklyn, New York and decide to peddle their songs at the famous Brill Building in Manhattan. They don't meet with much success, but they make an important early connection with Kenny Vance of Jay and the Americans. Vance helps them record some demos of their early material and gets them some odd jobs including doing the soundtrack for the low-budget Richard Pryor film "You Gotta Walk It Like You Talk It." Vance also gets Becker and Fagen gigs as back-up musicians on Jay and the Americans' 1970-71 tour. Jay Black disaffectionately labels Donald and Walter as "Starkweather and Manson." Fagen and Becker also meet another aspiring producer, Gary Katz, in New York. Shortly afterwards, Katz gets a job as staff producer at ABC Records in Los Angeles and also secures two staff songwriter positions for Fagen and Becker. With the hopes of making it big as songwriters, Donald and Walter move to L.A. in November 1971. The Early Steely Dan Era After realizing that the songs they were writing were too sophisticated for the other artists on the ABC roster (Three Dog Night, Dusty Springfield), Donald and Walter secretly begin to put together their own band with Gary Katz as their producer. They enlist Denny Dias as a guitarist, whom Becker and Fagen had met earlier in New York through an advertisement Dias placed in "The Village Voice" newspaper, reading "Looking for keyboardist and bassist. Must have jazz chops!" Dias flies out to the west coast to help the boys put together the band. "Can't Buy A Thrill" With Fagen on keyboards and vocals and Becker on bass, they decide to sign up guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and drummer Jim Hodder. With the core band recruited, Donald and Walter need a name for their group. Since both of them were avid readers of 1950's "Beat" literature, they decided to name the band "Steely Dan" after a dildo in William Burroughs' "Naked Lunch." The band begins rehearsing after work in a cramped, abandoned office in the ABC building and begins recording with Roger (The Immortal) Nichols, a former nuclear engineer, as their recording engineer, a relationship that continues to this day. Since Fagen was uncomfortable as the lead singer, they also decided to sign up vocalist David Palmer as the front man. Since Palmer's vocal style didn't convey the attitude that Becker and Fagen wanted for most of the songs, and they also needed to finish the album, Donald reluctantly sang lead vocals on all but three songs on their debut album, which they named "Can't Buy A Thrill." An interesting portent of things to come, however, is the credited use of outside studio musicians such as Elliot Randall and Jerome Richardson on several solos. The album is released in October 1972 without much fanfare, but surprises everyone by spawning a runaway hit "Do It Again" which reaches #6 on the charts. ABC pressures the band to do a quick tour and Becker and Fagen reluctantly acquiesce. A second hit "Reelin' In The Years" emerges and reaches #11 on the charts. "Can't Buy A Thrill" becomes a gold record and peaks at #17 on the charts. As the band begins to record their next album, Fagen takes over on all lead vocals and David Palmer leaves the group. "Countdown to Ecstasy" Following the surprising commercial success of "Can't Buy a Thrill", Steely Dan come under tremendous pressure from ABC Records to continue touring to promote the album, while at the same time recording a new one. Consequently, the songs for their second album are hurriedly recorded in between tour stops during 1973. Fagen and Becker later said this gave the recorded songs a live kind of feel, since they were in the studio with basically their touring band. The songs that become the "Countdown to Ecstasy" album, released in July 1973, thus are more stretched-out, as they are in the live settings of the time. "Showbiz Kids" is the first single to be released, and despite Rick Derringer's amazing slide guitar work, it only reaches #61 on the charts. It was speculated later that the expletive used in the song did not popularize it with radio program directors. "My Old School", an homage to their days at Bard, also does not fare well as a single and peaks at #63. Despite the lack of a hit single, "Countdown" receives excellent reviews and spawns such radio favorites as "Bodhisattva" and "My Old School", with the latter becoming a classic encore sing-along for their live shows in the 90's. "Pretzel Logic" Under ABC's pressure to produce more hit singles, Fagen and Becker write some shorter songs for their next album "Pretzel Logic." This album is released in March, 1974 and spawns their biggest hit, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" which reaches #3 in March 1974. Becker and Fagen are expanding on their practice of bringing in other studio musicians as they increasingly find the core band unable to achieve the sound they want on all of their songs. One of the session men is Jeff Porcaro and a long and fruitful relationship with Fagen and Becker begins. A second tour is arranged including Porcaro as second drummer, a new Katz discovery Michael McDonald on back-up vocals and keyboards, and another vocalist Royce Jones (Ambrosia). While this band was musically superior to the one on the first tour, the rigors of tour travel and opening for heavy metal bands is not to Fagen and Becker's liking. After a July 4, 1974 show at the Santa Monica Civic Center in California, they swear off touring for the immediate future and decide to focus on writing and recording. This prompts Baxter, who loves the road life, to leave and join the Doobie Brothers. Jim Hodder also quits as "Pretzel Logic" goes gold and reaches #8 on the charts. > From Wikipedia
