Steely Dan’s ‘quiet man’, Walter Becker’s sad departure in 2017 serves to remind us of this musical giant’s huge range of talents. Not least of these was his extraordinary ability to compose – alongside long-time partner Donald Fagen - some of the most joyous and accessible, yet technically complex, songs to have emerged over the past 50 years. This collection features a range of rare cuts featuring Walter, both as a solo artist and as a member of the mighty Dan, which together form a delightful set of tunes rarely heard in the versions presented here.
