Android Warehouse - Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (Origins Of Steely Dan)

Details

Steely Dan was basically formed by two ex-New York Band College members, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who became the great co writers and driving force behind this mainly studio band in 1971. These recordings are from their pre-David Katz Can t Buy a Thrill album in 1972, which immediately attracted great acclaim for its tunes and immaculate musicianship which was to be the trademark of Steely Dan. Over the years, Musicians of high calibre came and went in the Steely Dan line-ups, and the band became unhappy with live performances which basically ended in 1974, due to Fagen s dislike to being frontman of the band. This album had the instant recognition of Fagen / Becker / Steely Dan material in the formative years and is a must to any admirers of this great seventies band s excellent and perfected material, which is timeless and a major contribution to Rock Music. Walter Becker unfortunately passed away on the 17th September 2017 in Manhattan, New York and the world lost one of its great musicians.
