STEELY DAN - "HOME AT LAST"

Home At Last (Donald Fagen - Walter Becker) - 5:35  rating: **** stars

The only band I've seen a dozen times, I'm surprised I haven't listed a Steely Dan track up to this point.

"Aja" came out when I was a freshmen in college. Rob, my first  roommate, bought a copy of the album and played it day after day after day.

I'll  readily admit to  initially finding the jazzy grooves less than  overwhelming, but in time I fell under the Steely Dan spell and perhaps because I was living hundreds of miles away from my family, this bluesy ballad became one of my favorite performances.
