The Snowbound/Kamakiriad album was my favorite album. It surpassed any of his other albums. All time best to me.

@yadodd1 In reality this is pretty, pretty close to being a Steely Dan album altogether, with Walter's production and occasional performance in it. However, only Fagen was primarily interested in putting out such "theme" albums that keeps it technically a solo project.

Is Jeff Porcaro playing the drums?

[brtherjohn]

@funklover24 I doubt it, but I'm not totally sure. Porcaro died the previous year, and this song was released the following year, 1993. He did play drums on Fagen's 1982, The Nightfly, however.

was this on kamakiriad?

[brtherjohn]

@DjDerrricketa No, it was the 'b side' to the CD single that contained Tomorrow's Girls which was on the album.

Aw, man thanks , this is a new tune to me, I never got to hear their singles. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker are personal heroes of mine. Yes, it does totally sound like Drew Zingg on lead , that Hard BeBop Blues style of his that is cool. He is one underrated Bad Mother F***** of a guitar player.

I bought this single for this track because I loved the Man Tran version which I hear lots on the radio back in the day and never tracked down the "Offbeat of Avenues" album. (Finally got the Man Tran version in a second-hand shop only about 2 years ago!)

I'm gonna try tracking this down.

@fregot I think it might be Drew Zingg. He was the guitarist the previous two years in the New York Rock and Soul Revue
