{"product_id":"steely-dan-the-definitive-collection-cd","title":"Steely Dan - The Definitive Collection [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eSixteen songs drawn from three decades, The Definitive Collection gathers the sharpest moments of Steely Dan's career onto a single CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2006, it follows Walter Becker and Donald Fagen from the radio-friendly debut Can't Buy a Thrill in 1972 through the perfectionist studio years and on to their 2000s comeback albums. Running in chronological order, it lets you hear the band transform from a sharp-witted rock group into the meticulous jazz-pop craftsmen of legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe early hits hold up beautifully. \"Do It Again\" rides a hypnotic Latin groove and an electric sitar solo, while \"Reelin' in the Years\" features one of the most celebrated guitar solos of the 1970s. \"Rikki Don't Lose That Number\" is cool, breezy and impossibly catchy, a perfect calling card for everything the band did well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe later material shows how far they travelled. The Aja and Gaucho selections are glossy and intricate, and \"Cousin Dupree,\" from the 2000 comeback Two Against Nature, proves their wit stayed razor sharp well into the new millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning close to eighty minutes, this is as complete a single-disc summary as the band has ever had. It works equally well as an introduction for the curious and a reliable companion for anyone who already knows every word.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518447755569,"sku":"602498784662","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Steely_Dan-The_Definitive_Collection_CD.jpg?v=1794678495","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/steely-dan-the-definitive-collection-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
