A "thoughtful, loving, and thorough portrait" of the pioneering musicians behind Steely Dan, featuring interviews, essays, reviews, and more (PopMatters).Major Dudes belongs on the shelf of every Steely Dan fan. It's a hugely enjoyable and deeply knowledgable collection of the smartest and most revealing interviews Walter Becker and Donald Fagen have ever given, along with intelligent reviews of-and commentary on-their extraordinary songs.At its core, Steely Dan is a creative marriage between guitarist Fagen and keyboardist Becker. It recorded several of the cleverest and best-produced albums of the 1970s, making them one of the most successful bands to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.Compiled by leading music critic Barney Hoskyns, Major Dudes features contributions from the likes of Sylvie Simmons, Fred Schruers, and the late Robert Palmer; plus rare interviews and reviews of Steely Dan's early albums from Disc, Melody Maker, and Rolling Stone.Major Dudes is essential reading for any rock aficionado.
