I've been listening to Steeley Dan since the mid 1970's and while I enjoy all their albums as well as Donald Fagen's solo albums, my favorite Steeley Dan albums are from Can't Buy A Thrill through Gaucho. IMHO that was when these talented musicians were in their prime and creating a sound that was distinctly their own. No other band at the time sounded like the Dan, and as was the case with Denny Dias, Donald and Walter always selected incredibly talented musicians to join them in the studio. More than fifty years on I still love their music! 👍
Denny Dias
Rick Beato recently did a great interview with Denny Dias - famous for his great playing on Steely Dan recordings. Personally, he's my favourite of all the stellar guitarists that played for Becker and Fagen so this was a real pleasure to watch.
