Phil O'Keefe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I love this {censored}en album It's one of the best records ever waxed IMHO. Came out my junior year of high school, and had a HUGE influence on me as an engineer. Roger's work on those Steely Dan records - the cleanliness and tone of the tracks, the precision, the fidelity - just amazes me. I had the honor of knowing him, and he was just an incredible guy... it's hard to overstate just how good he was at recording. The songs and musicianship on Aja aren't bad either.

Haha yeah, Walter and Donald have a fair bit to do with that as well, on the Classic Albums for this album, everyone talks about their meticulous attention to detail. The production is totally tops. Wayne Shorter and Steve Gadd's playing on the title track is {censored}en sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hell yea Philip, i knew you'd like a bit of yacht with your rock! Can't really avoid it Lou-Dog -- the time period (1975 - 1984) includes my high school years and into my early 20s, so I was very well exposed to it, and yes, I do like a lot of it. I'm a HUGE "Dan fan, and I also loved the Doobie Brothers, among others. That Ambrosia track I posted is very under-rated IMO... and Toto IV is a great record too.

Phil O'Keefe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 And you just have to love the guitarists they used on those Dan records... Dean Parks: [video=youtube;ATTU-g_hiNk] Walter Becker: [video=youtube;q71gvV9n9Cs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q71gvV9n9Cs&feature=related Larry Carlton: [video=youtube;Zn_qB8bPnNs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn_qB8bPnNs&feature=related (this one of Larry's is one of the best solos ever waxed IMHO...)

Members [Animals2] Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Worth a watch, each episode centers around a song from that period. Did I mention that it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seajay Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Jimmy Fallon had a Yacht Rock week a while ago & Christopher Cross performed this song. Michael McD sat in to play keys and to lend his so very distinctive backup vocals. It was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seajay Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Also, I love the Isley's take on the S&C classic: [video=youtube;T88fbHOmvRk] Of course there is some killer guitar on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Monkeybot Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 All of this (and lots of Steely Dan plus a Donald Fagen solo mention) and no sign of SD's Gaucho? Possibly the greatest Yacht Rock record (in a good way) ever. "Hey Nineteen" should be the standard bearer for the whole YR thing. I really love that whole record - Really well recorded and produced and just absolutely faux-funky (in a great way). It sounds like New York meets Miami circa 1980... Love it (for real - Just bought a pristine vinyl copy a few weeks ago). Now back to the new Mastodon. It's alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seajay Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I agree. I think that Hey 19 is Steely Dan's most yacht-rocky tune. [video=youtube;t_JxUPPW6M0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_JxUPPW6M0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
