The only book ever to have been published on Steely Dan, it tells the strange tale of how Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, a couple of cynical New York jazz fans, wormed their way into a record contract and astonished critics with their superb debut Can't Buy a Thrill in 1973. Seven albums later, after Aja had topped the charts everywhere, they were among the biggest selling acts in the world. Then they quit, only to reform in 1993 more popular than ever. This acclaimed biography has now been updated to include details of Becker and Fagen's work during the Nineties and beyond, including the latest Steely Dan masterpiece Everything Must Go.
