Circus Money album for sale Product Description

Circus Money album for sale by Walter Becker was released Jun 10, 2008 on the Mailboat label. As one half of Steely Dan, Walter Becker is responsible for some of the smartest, most musically sophisticated music ever to come under the "pop" umbrella, but he's always remained in Dan frontman Donald Fagen's shadow. It took him 14 years to follow up his solo debut, 11 TRACKS OF WHACK, but CIRCUS MONEY doesn't feel even remotely labored. Like its predecessor, it bears echoes of Steely Dan's breezy jazz/pop/rock sound, but doesn't feel as fussy. ...See Full Description

Becker's Big Top
The lead vocals,which worry him, are terrific, and the first five tracks are masterpiece level. The middle is only excellent, and the closer, 3 Picture Deal, lifts it back to brilliant.

well done Walter!
This is the solo album Walter has always had in him. It's great to see that he has finally produced a piece of work that we all knew he was capable of.

I've expected much more....
Frankly speaking "Circus Money" is so far from my expectation... Everything is O.K. with Band and sound, but I haven't a wish to listen this CD one more time Probably because I'm always looking for... S.

Steely - not!
First up, I'm a huge fan of Steely Dan - got all their albums, plus Donald Fagen's trilogy of solo work. This album has all the elements of quality work evident in the Dan's catalogue, but I'm afraid that Walter Becker's singing voice has got me close to suicide! There's lyrical and musical intricacies evident in every track, (a lot reggae influenced), and quality background musicians and singers proliferate(including a favourite of mine Kate Markowitz from James Taylor albums), but overall this album sounds "dark", due (I think) to Walter's singing style.
