Short intro

The Royal Scam is the fifth studio album by Steely Dan, originally released by ABC Records in 1976. The album went gold and peaked at 15 on the charts. The Royal Scam features more prominent guitar work than the prior Steely Dan album, Katy Lied, which had been the first without founding guitarist Jeff Baxter. Guitarists on the recording include Walter Becker, Denny Dias, Larry Carlton, Elliott Randall and Dean Parks. The Royal Scam - Steely Dan.

Формируйте собственную коллекцию записей Steely is track Nr. 9 on the fith album The Royal Scam by Steely Dan 1976. The Royal Scam is a transitional album for Steely Dan melody dominates lyric in the sense that the former pushes into new rhythmic areas for the group more pure jazz, semireggae and substantially more orchestration than before while the verbal content is clearer, even mundane, by previous Dan standards. While Scam is certainly not a concept album, every song-with the possible exception of The Fez -concerns a narrators escape from a crime or sin recently committed. Becker and Fagen have really written the ultimate outlaw album here, something that eludes myriad Southern bands because t. The Royal Scam is the first Steely Dan record that doesn't exhibit significant musical progress from its predecessor, but that doesn't mean the album is any less interesting. The cynicism that was suppressed on Katy Lied comes roaring to the surface on The Royal Scam - not only are the lyrics bitter and snide, but the music is terse, broken, and weary. Not so coincidentally, the album is comprised of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's weakest set of songs since Can't Buy a Thrill. Band Name Steely Dan. Album Name The Royal Scam.

The Royal Scam features more prominent guitar work than other Steely Dan albums. With irony-laden verses about drug dealers, safe sex, and hardships faced by immigrants, The Royal Scam is arguably Steely Dan at their most cynical. The mood of the album stands in contrast with the band's mellower and hugely successful follow-up, Aja. The album cover read more. This item:The Royal Scam by Steely Dan Audio CD . In Stock. Ships from and sold by . I recently bought The Royal Scam along with two other dan favs Katy Lied and Pretzel Logic. I have to say that this album is fast becoming my favorite. I own all of Steely Dan's quote classic albums and in my opinion The Royal Scam has it all. All the tunes are perfect creations melding rock guitars jazzy keys and horns with phat R&B and funk grooves. By this time the bands sound had definitely changed from the early 70's sound of Can't Buy a Trill & Countdown. How Steely Dan Pulled Off The Royal Scam. Frank Mastropolo. ABC Records. Expectations were high when Steely Dan 's fifth album was released May 31, 1976. The Royal Scam featured the band's most cynical lyrics to date in its tales of outlaws, drug dealers and cheaters. While the LP reached No. 15 on the Billboard albums chart, its two singles, Kid Charlemagne and The Fez, barely made a dent. Critical response was a mix of raves and disappointment
