Album Details
Asian pressing of the 2008 sophomore solo album from one-half of Steely Dan includes the bonus track 'Dark Horse Dub'. It's only been 14 years since Walter Becker's last (and first) solo album was released. Now, at long last, the wait is finally over for the second. Circus Money finds Becker's sardonic sensibility completely intact and each of the album's songs, inflected with Jazz, Reggae and Rock phrasing, is a masterpiece of musical understatement and lyrical nuance. Produced by Larry Klein, Circus Money's songs (11 of which were co-written with Klein) explore modern malaise in a smilingly subversive way that is sure to curry favor with critics as well as Dan fans. Stand out tracks include 'Bob Is Not Your Uncle Anymore', 'God's Eye View' and Becker's jaundice take on the LA lifestyle archetype: 'Three Picture Deal'. Sonic 360.
