    Your reaction warms my heart as a long time Steely Dan fan! Thank you!!!! This is a masterpiece as is the whole album. Every album is different and to me their first 7 albums 1972-1980 are all superb. Their 8th album won the best album grammy in 2000. Keep the journey going I am subscribed and looking forward to your future reactions.

    Aja (pronounced asia) was one of the records that audio equipment stores used to demonstrate the clarity and stereo speaker quality. Considered one of the best engineered albums. This entire album is a masterpiece. Peg, and my fave, Josie. Always love to watch reactions to this song. Nice work, dude. :)

    The Boozy Bourbon Black Cow is the same as the root beer float, with an ounce or two of your favorite bourbon. Depending on how fast you want to drink it for the buzz.

    Chuck Rainey on the bass most of this album (minus "Deacon Blues"). Guy is an absolute genius musician. All the musicians on this album were incredible, but there is a reason Chuck was asked to play on so many of their tracks when they were bringing in studio musicians. No one lays down a bass like like he does!

    This whole album is pure fire!! Great reaction to one of my favs, thanks!! They brought in 40 session musicians to produce this album!! Back in the day people, normally guys, had what was called a "little black book" where possible hook up's were kept.

    A "Black Cow" was a drink consisting of root beer and vanilla ice cream. Surprised when I see that this very popular dessert drink has apparently lost it's popularity to where people don't know what it is. thx.

    Hi - I suggest and request you consider reacting to any of these 3 groups and songs (or eventually all 3) - the 1st rock music group is called Dream Theater with their song "On The Backs Of Angels" a Grammy nominated song (a RUSH inspired music group they are) -- the 2nd rock band is called King's X with their song "Dogman" (voted one of the best rock music bands in the whole world) -- the 3rd group is called HAKEN (rhymes with BACON) - Haken's song is called "Puzzle Box" - as they are super talented musicians in what's called a Prog Math Rock music group (band) - you will love all 3 songs - I promise
