ALBUM OVERVIEW:
As half of seminal pop/jazz/rock outfit Steely Dan, Donald Fagen is one of contemporary musics most inventive masterminds. His solo career leveraged strengths of his writing, producing and performing partnership with Walter Becker in Dan, and explored new territory along a more personal singer-songwriter trajectory. With his 1982 solo debut
The Nightfly, Fagen won massive critical acclaim for a fluid, soulful work he described as representing "certain fantasies that might have been entertained by a young man growing up in the remote suburbs of a northeastern city during the late fifties and early sixties, i.e., one of my general height, weight and build." Reviewing it for Rolling Stone, David Fricke wrote, "this album is about dreams . . . Fagen conjures a world where all things are possible, even to a kid locked in his bedroom." 1993s
Kamakiriad continues Fagens sonic journey by following the adventures of a mythic lead character touring the world in a fant! astic car. With 2006s GRAMMY-winning
