Who is Rikki from Steely Dan song ‘Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’?
A chance meeting.
Walter Becker
Steely Dan’s impossible song: “It’s very existence is a contradiction”
Beyond any guitarist’s capabilities.
The jazz musicians who shaped Walter Becker and infused Steely Dan
The jazz artists that moulded ‘The Dan’.
The Steely Dan lyric Donald Fagen thought nobody understood: “Take the lyrics more literally”
Just a silly love song…with a twist.
The album Steely Dan were never satisfied with: “Could be blamed on mechanical failure”
Getting wrecked in the mixing stages.
The band that gave Steely Dan their big break: “Our first professional job”
“It was our first professional job, really”.
