Artist:Steely Dan
Song:Peg
Album:The Definitive Collection
This newly released Definitive Collection is a good example of how record companies repackage classic rock groups unnecessarily in an effort to separate you from your money. The main difference between this comp and previous Steely Dan comps is it includes a couple of songs from Steely Dan's 90s comeback. Fans of the group probably already have something else. I have the 4CD box set Citizen Steely Dan which has all their 70s recordings. Why screw around? Of course Peg is from the 1977 classic Aja. Donald Becker & Walter Fagan used all kinds of session musicians on Aja. Peg includes Jay Graydon on guitar, Chuck Rainey on bass & Rick Marotta on drums. I suppose The Definitive Collection might be OK for beginners with with only 16 tracks, it doesn't seem very definitive to me. The 2000 2CD Showbiz Kids comp is better but Citizen Steely Dan is really definitive.
