Been listening to the under-appreciated band, Steely Dan. Most know that the core of the band was Walter Becker (guitars, bass) and Donald Fagan (keyboards, vocals). That duo co-wrote the vast majority of their many hit songs. But after their first couple of years they knew that they hated touring, so by 1974 they chose to only do studio recordings. Because they hired session musicians for those recordings, few people know the names of the folks that made some incredible music.

Guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter worked with Steely Dan many times. Including the masterful work on this hit.


Guitarist Elliott Randall plays on this one.


Jazz sax player Pete Christlieb was brought in for this tune. Largely improvised and nailed this gem on the second take.


Guitarist Larry Carlton kills it on this track.

Love them ... Any Major Dude was my favorite tune.

You had your chance to see them at Rupp last year opening for ELO. Fagan got sick so The Doobies opened instead.
