Free Music Review: Pretzels are gooood...
Hit: 4 Stars
As always with "The Dan", DAMN great album! A landmark album from the boys in that it was the first where they really started exploring the possibilities of using hired hands; REALLY started to broaden their musical horizons. Little less jammin' blues and more experimenting with Beatle-ish writing, country, jazz... a little more of the bizarre yet still somehow more traditional too.
Also contains (as far as I know) the only covered song in their catalogue: Duke Ellington's "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo", a really interesting instrumental. And ya can't forget the radio-hit "Rikki..."!
All-in-all, great album! Not as easily accessible to a newer "Dan" fan as say AJA or maybe the first 2 LP's, but a helluvan awesome album regardless!
Pretzel Logic Poster
Pretzel Logic marked a transition for Steely Dan from a studio-bound rock band producing hits such as "Reeling in the Years" and "Do It Again" to a looser constellation of studio musicians under the direction of songwriters Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. That later version of Steely Dan would paint its masterpiece with Aja. Pretzel Logic is much more playful than that, and also jazzier than the albums that came before. The jazz intentions are made perfectly clear on "Parker's Band," a swinging tribute to bebop titan Charlie Parker, and a crafty cover of Duke Ellington's "East St. Louis Toodle-oo." The lyrics displayed their own twisted logic, presenting a tumble of images in search of a unifying principle that most often remained elusive. Steely Dan was that rare act that could work such purposeful obscurity to its advantage: "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" was a top-five hit even though nobody had a clue as to what it was about. Or, perhaps, everybody had a clue, but nobody could agree. --John MilwardPop Music CDs
