Members maplebaby Posted April 21, 2014 Members Share Posted April 21, 2014 Over a year ago several of us sat down and shared a vision for covering the amazing music that had been a major influence on each of us. The artist at the top of all of our lists was Steely Dan. We've picked five incredible Steely Dan songs trying to capture the grooves, the chord structures, the instrumentation, and the creative genius in their writing and playing. We welcome our friends Tom, Jim, Kenny, Dan, Tyler, Kevin, Jessica, Liz and Amanda to the Lab! As always, thanks for listening - Lexington Lab Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRicoC Posted April 21, 2014 Members Share Posted April 21, 2014 My college roommate's brother taught me the chords to that back in the mid '80s, but I've not played it since. Seeing this really jogs my memory ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members coyote-1 Posted April 21, 2014 Members Share Posted April 21, 2014 VERY nice! Good singing, tight playing, great sound.... My own 3-piece does that song. We have the bassist use a synth module to play the intro figure. Lotsa fun. Looks and sounds like y'all had a great time with that project. Looking forward to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted April 22, 2014 Members Share Posted April 22, 2014 Love the lab band. I gotta say tho that your covers are so close, the singers fall short. Yes they do a great job. The front spots need the original voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted April 24, 2014 Members Share Posted April 24, 2014 It occurs to me that if the brass guys are going to be available for a while you might want to do some Chicago stuff next. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
