Jackson Browne – ‘Standing in the Breach’ (2014)
Jackson Browne’s ‘Standing in the Breach’ is as layered as it is honest, as reflective as it is determined.
Steely Dan Sunday: The Five Best Steely Dan Singles
We pick the five best-ever singles from Steely Dan, rank ’em and praise ’em!
Steely Dan Sunday, “Gullywater” aka “Funky Driver” (1975, unreleased)
Another cut with great promise, only to be shelved along with so many other ‘Katy Lied’ session nuggets. Perhaps not a Top 5 tune lay in the heart of this beast, but a heart that was very much ALIVE.
Steely Dan Sunday, “Mr. Sam” (1975, unreleased)
It’s everything one would expect from a song of the mid-Jurassic period of Steely Dan.
Interstatic – Arise (2014)
The rougher edges of the guttural ‘Arise’ revisits the period when jazz and rock collisions created explosive music and rekindles the old magic with new vigor.
Steely Dan Sunday, “Stand by the Seawall” (1977, unreleased)
A crystalline peak behind the scenes of Steely Dan’s studio gigs.
Something Else! sneak peek: Joe Bonamassa, “Different Shades of Blue” (2014)
Bonamassa advances his new album with a pretty nice display of his soulful side.
Steely Dan Sunday, “Talkin’ ‘Bout My Home” (1980?, unreleased)
Catchy, but ultimately a bit less compelling than other ‘Gaucho’ outtakes.
Steely Dan Sunday, “Kind Spirit” (1980?)
Another unfinished diamond in the rough that evokes a feeling of what could have been.
