5.0 out of 5 stars A Response to the 'Zeitgeist' Critique, 26 Aug 2006
Isnt life complicated? Why do so called critics/reviewers involve themselves with the non issues. 'People who like Steely Dan annoy me...etc' Why can't this be reviewed for what it is? Mike Varney is a guitar album producer - thats what he does. This album gets a bunch of hot guit players together and they play Steely tunes in their own inimitable way with a lot of gusto.Like it or loathe it - simple as that. People who will buy this album have ears of their own and do not need to borrow anyone elses.
This album is a collection of great contempary rock songs by arguably one of the most stylish bands of that era, played by excellent musicians in yet another approach to this great material. If only the critics against this music had one tenth of the acumen the music has. 'Couldnt fault the album but didnt like the drummers haircut... etc etc' Yawn.
I am a musician, and this album is terrific. Buy it and support great musicians, and great songwriters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Careful - smart alecks at work, 30 July 2006
By Mr. H "the-rocker.co.uk" (Embra) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
I've always held a special degree of loathing for Steely Dan. I don't think it's actually their fault as I'm reasonably sure they didn't hold a planning meeting 30 years ago to set out action points with the express aim of acquiring my enmity. No, it's other peoples reaction to their music that causes the bile to rise. 'Ooh, their music is so sophisticated and intelligent, it has much more depth than the prole like sounds you listen to. You must be really stupid not to appreciate them'. My fist, your face. Pretentious bandits like you should be taken out by some serious class warfare, and I'm loading my rifle right now.

You will then, doubtless, be wondering why I'm reviewing this CD. Well, it is chock full of guitar genii and nowhere on the sleeve does it actually use the name Steely Dan. I assume that Mike Varney, who exec produced this, must have ran slap bang into some trademark / cash related issues that wouldn't permit it. Which means for an hour or so I can pretend it's merely an all star instrumental guitar album.

And it's the big names that stand out with some sparkling turns. A fiery Steve Morse on "Bodhissatva", a subdued and sublime Al Di Meola on "Aja" and a fluid Steve Lukather on "Pretzel Logic". But the best of the lot are the always fabulous Jimmy Herring who has his guitar singing on "The Fez" and should really do an album of guitar duets with Walter Trout, and the new to me Elliott Randall who picks out some fine rhythms on "Hey Nineteen".

Having a core band backing the guitarists helps create a constant flow but this is as close as I'll ever get to the real thing.
