Steely Dan - “Everything Must Go" (Reprise)
Notoriously slow and meticulous Steely Dan leaders Walter Becker and Donald Fagen spent about a year putting together this follow-up to 2000’s Album of the Year Grammy-winning set “Two Against Nature” ... which is to say that they cranked the new one out relatively fast.

“We went for live tracking this time and got great, in-the-pocket tracks,” Becker said in a statement.
In addition to playing bass and guitar, Becker handled lead vocals on one of the album’s tracks, marking a first for the veteran group. Fagen handled the singing--and the keyboards--on the album’s other cuts.
Reprise is streaming all nine tracks from “Everything Must Go” via an online jukebox.
