Do It Again: The Steely Dan Years

Do It Again: The Steely Dan Years

Written in 1985 and never before released in book form, Do It Again: The Steely Dan Years recounts the story of one of the bestâ€”and most fascinatingâ€”rock â€˜nâ€™ roll bands in pop history. Extending back to their days as touring members of Jay & The Americans, Do It Again details all the glorious minutiae that would compel band members Donald Fagen and Walter Becker to meet, write songs, attempt to write a musical, andâ€”eventuallyâ€”form a pioneering rock â€˜nâ€™ roll band that would take its name from a sex toy featured in William Burroughsâ€™ classic novel Naked Lunch.

Featuring direct interviews with many essential players in the Steely Dan sagaâ€”including group members Denny Dias, Jeff Baxter, the late Jim Hodder, producer Gary Katz, and a host of others who were there from the beginningâ€”Do It Again examines the bandâ€™s rise to fame, and the impact that fame had upon each band member.

Featuring a full appendix detailing the bandâ€™s complete discography and featured sessions through the release of Donald Fagenâ€™s first solo album The Nightfly, Do It Again: The Steely Dan Years is a compelling retelling of the Steely Dan storyâ€”personality-filled, quirky, mysterious and, like the band itself, kind of odd.
