Probably the most critically revered band of the 70s, Steely Dan's brand of slick pop with a dose of jazz/funk left a meagre but vital catalogue to cling on to. This was their last gasp at the onset of the 80s. Perhaps they were aware of the fact that they were too 70s for the 80s. This was their least accessible and most mature album (no criticism is intended), as the content washes over the listener like a warm shower. 'Hey Nineteen' is the hit single from this set, a radio-friendly nostalgic look at 1967, impeccable in production and with evocative lyrics. Lots of echoey Fender Rhodes and sensitive brass.

Recorded at Soundworks, A & R Studios, Sigma Sound Studios and Automated Sound Studios, New York, New York; Village Recorder, West Los Angeles, California; Producers Workshop, Hollywood, California. Includes liner notes by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.

4 stars Sunday morning music
Pristine production, sinuous melodies and world-weary lyrics: Steely Dan cornered the market on Seventies' jaded cool. Their last album before a two-decade hiatus, Gaucho is clever but spare. Donald Fagen's slightly whiny but wise vocals amble along, counterpointed by smooth harmonies courtesy of the creme de la creme of session singers - notably the sublime Patti Austin and Valerie Simpson. Although the rest of the album never reaches the heights of the opener "Babylon Sisters," it still makes for the best hangover CD: something to get you back to the land of the living after a night of living it up too much.

Yeah, "Gaucho" is a very sad song, and could be named as their swan song; Steely Dan's last studio album of the seventies.

4 stars Dan's swansong
This is another fine album from the Dan, but it represents the end point of the project they started on 'Aja'. The album is full of sad, pathetic characters but unlike Royal Scam - which was similarly populated - the sharp social observation is replaced with a black, world-weary cynicism. "...living hard will take its toll.." and indeed the album articulates the early80s landscape of hedonism and jadedness perfectly. A fine end to a fantastic career.

5 stars Another masterpiece!!
Absolutely brilliant! I have heard alot of rock and roll and a lot of jazz-but this CD is the best combination of the two genres in this or any other millenium. Don and Walter are at the top of their game here. Please buy and listen~~ for full enjoyment turn to full volume on a great system.

I heard "Gaucho" on the radio and I thought, I must have that. You can't go wrong with these lyrics: Bodacious cowboys Such as your friend Will never be welcome here High in the Custerdome The whole CD makes me swoon.

Steely Dan Can't Buy A Thrill CD  (1972) Remastered

Gaucho
CD $6.49  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This is the album that introduced Donald Fagen and Walter Becker's unique, idiosyncratic, and highly polished craftsmanship. Although CAN'T BUY A THRILL lacks the overtly jazzy tendencies that would define albums like AJA, it distinguishes itself from nearly all of the mainstream pop and rock of the era with its smooth, lounge-y feel, catchy hooks, and immaculate studio polish. They were played alongside the Doobie Brothers and the Eagles on '70s FM radio, but Steely Dan's sound was more self-conscious and sophisticated than its peers: this was postmodern ...

Steely Dan Countdown To Ecstasy CD  (1973) Remastered

Gaucho
CD $6.49  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Riding high on the success of their debut CAN'T BUY A THRILL, Steely Dan put together what was, on the surface, their most commercial and straightforward album. "Bodhisattva," for example, which opens the album, works a driving, jump-blues groove that seems at odds with the band's laid-back, jazz inclinations. The heavy, bluesy stomp of "The Boston Rag" and the slinky, edgy boogie of "Show Biz Kids" may make it seem as though Steely Dan was vying for favor with their more roots-oriented pop-rock contemporaries. Nothing could be further ...

CD $6.49  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In 1975 after an extraordinarily successful run of releases which culminated in that "steely" masterpiece, PRETZEL LOGIC, the Dan shifted direction a bit and opened their music up on KATY LIED. The sound is warmer, the already sophisticated harmonies somewhat richer, a little bit closer to combo jazz. It's as if jazz pianist Bill Evans collaborated with Bob Dylan. KATY LIED contains Steely Dan's most emotional, even passionate music ...

Steely Dan Pretzel Logic CD  (1974) Remastered

Gaucho
CD $6.49  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Steely Dan holds the title as one of the most quietly subversive pop bands of the 20th century. They managed--on their first two albums and, especially, on PRETZEL LOGIC--to combine breezy, ear-pleasing accessibility with an immensely sophisticated sensibility that upended most pop conventions. On PRETZEL LOGIC that combination is perfected, even as band masterminds Donald Fagen and Walter Becker moved deeper into jazz-influenced territory. "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," the album's lead off track, is a case in point. A sinuous slice of jazz-pop that ...

Gaucho

TEJAS was accompanied by the year-long "World Texas Tour," a huge multi-media show that included live cattle on stage with the band. The widely reported tour broke ticket sale and attendance records. Drained by the tour, and unhappy with the support of their record label (London), they took a three-year break. They negotiated a switch to Warner Brothers, who put out their next album (DEGUELLO), and also bought their back catalog for re-issue. After breaking through to the big time with its ...
One More Played Out Tragedy
Echo Code One More Played Out Tragedy CD  (2009)

Gaucho
CD $16.45
Echo Code takes its name from a practice popularized by Vietnam War pilots, who substituted numbers as code for profanity in their patter and sneakily avoided getting reprimanded for saying too much profanity over the radio. Although vocalist/guitarist Donnie Honeycutt found this behavior to be a fascinating snippet of military history, and a perfect band name to boot, his talented three-piece group never ever relies on any such vague words or lyrical hieroglyphics to create its songs. Instead, the Charlotte, North Carolina act always gets straight to the point with consistently compelling music.“We’re not a metal band, but we’re definitely not a pop band, either,” Honeycutt states, when asked to sum up the group’s style. And like many exciting new modern rock acts, Echo Code incorporates a wide variety of influences into its unique musical personality. Stylistic inspirations range from classic older sounds to relatively newer ones, stretching from Black Sabbath’s pioneering metal innovations to Alice In Chains’ breakthrough grunge sonic. “The vocal harmonies come from the Alice In Chains side,” Honeycutt explains, “and the groove and the chunk come from the Sabbath.”The songs “River Of Nothing” and “Quicksand” evidence Echo Code’s firm grip on sound rock dynamics. “Rivers Of Nothing” begins with ominously jangling electric guitar, before the drums and bass hammer home its unrelenting rhythm. And by the time this track reaches its chorus, its tough musical groove has become seamlessly balanced with sweet vocal harmonies. “Quicksand” alternates between a crunching, irresistible guitar riff, and Honeycutt’s passionate vocal. No need to fear this quicksand; instead, gladly let it take you under. In some cases, songs on the band’s full-length CD are derived from Honeycutt’s real life experiences. Such is certainly the case with one titled “Liar”. “I’d just gotten t-boned by a lady running a red light,” Honeycutt relates, still a little shell-shocked from this unexpected vehicular encounter. “And she just lied to the ...
