Walter Becker Media celebrated the late Steely Dan legend’s birthday by releasing a live take on “Hard Up Case,” which he referred to as hard-boiled neo-reggae.

Fully completed Steely Dan studio recordings not officially released are rare. Steely Dan covers are rare. Their newly uncovered take on Joni Mitchell’s “Carey intersects both kinds of rarities.

This newly released Walter Becker demo provides a timely reminder that he was just as adept at laying down a groove as Steely Dan cohort Donald Fagen.

Steely Dan closes the ‘Northeast Corridor’ live album with a genteel performance of a blues-jazz song Joe Williams made famous.
