I was thinking of requesting this one; great choice!
Love the odd keyboard intro to Rikki--just a great song that never wears off on me.
"Dude", "Barrytown" and "Logic" are other winners as well. But I have most of the cuts on their box set anyway.

Yet another fine album from Steely Dan . Bought the 45 of Rikki back then. Their musicianship was always just fantastic. One of the albums my oldest brother had (has) and played often.
Besides "Rikki" other faves include: East St. Toodle - Oo , Parker's band , Monkey in Your Soul , Any Major Dude Will Tell You and Pretzel Logic.

Another really good album by Steely! I think their first and last albums were ok, but their albums in between were all really excellent.
Before I had the box, all I knew was Rikki. But there are great songs on here, the best being the title cut. The first place I heard this (this is so weird) is from the Cryan' Shames doing it in concert! That's right, a 60's band from Chicago that never cracking the national top 40 covering a 70's jazz-rock song in the 90's! And then our classic rock station started playing it.
Also good-Night by Night, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, Barrytown, With a Gun, Monkey in Your Soul.
Better than the first two and last albums, not quite as good as Katy Lied, Royal Scam or Aja.

But I have most of the cuts on their box set anyway. 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' has been a favorite of mine since it was popular, and like you, I love that intro. 'Pretzel Logic' is wonderful also. One of these days I'd like to get that box set! |

I've always loved 'Rikki', but didn't know many of the other cuts until I bought this LP about 4 years ago. This is one of my favorite Steely Dan albums - very jazz-influenced. Very solid all the way through! |

I agree about 'Pretzel Logic' being one of the best cuts - I loved it from first listen. That is kind of unusual about the Cryan' Shames performing it! Did they do any other covers of Steely Dan songs? I need to investigate their music sometime. I've been really impressed with what I've heard so far. |
