The song is nearly 5 1/2 minutes of pure ear candy. This is a masterclass in how to do Jazz/Rock Fusion. Absolutely masterful. Honestly one of the 5 greatest songs Steely Dan ever did, and it's one of my favorite songs of all-time. And I'm a Metalhead.

Unless you research The "Dan" ~ you'd never know how complex the songs are; musically or lyrically. My Old School, is a single from Steely Dan's 1973 album Countdown to Ecstasy. The lyrics tell the story of a May 1969 drug bust at Bard College, named "Annandale". The incident happened while both Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were students there, the song mentions how a female acquaintance had betrayed them to "Daddy Gee" (G. Gordon Liddy, then the local prosecutor.) According to a 2014 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article, 44 people were arrested, including Becker, whose long hair was cut off at the Poughkeepsie jail. The upshot in the song is that the singer vows he is "never going back" to the college until "California tumbles into the sea"

This was their complete deception of the rock world. Steely Dan is not a band. It's a Duo. It's Walter Becker, (guitars, backing vocals) and Donald Fagan(keyboards and lead vocals.) Everyone else on every album were hired musicians. Some for specific songs only. They were the first to do it, and of course, their very diverse sound is the result. They hired ALL the top studio, jazz and rock musicians of the day. Many didn't even know if what they did with them would be included on their album until it was released. Amazing band. Didn't like em much when I was kid and their music was new, but I'm 55 now and can REALLY appreciate to musical genius of Steely Dan. Great reaction.

I know you love guitar solos and you love harmonicas so you gotta check out Blackfoot’s song Train Train the studio version I think you will REALLY enjoy it can’t wait to see your reactions.

Not too many songs start out with a minute or more of harmonica soloing 👍, best ever

A huge Steely fan here. You guys rock! Sometimes the goosebumps . This one made the hair on my arms stand up. You’ve just touched the surface of their talents.
