Collectible : The Royal Scam
. The Royal Scamby: Steely Dan Release Date April 24, 2000 The consistancy of the Becker/Fagan output never ceases to amaze me. It's difficult to choose a favourite from the first six offerings, however it just all came together on this fine LP. From the driving opener 'Kid Charlamagne' to the brooding horn riff on the title track which ends the album. Its an emotional and uplifting experience. Take the achingly beautiful guitar work on 'Don't take me alive', matching perfectly with the lyric. Many would argue 'Aja' was their peak. I would have to disagree. Much as I love 'AJA' it lacked the sheer emotion of the 'Royal Scam' and it's predecessors possessed. A final thought: I can't think of another band who could class their first SIX albums and essential, can you? |
