Benni is a beast. I've never heard someone lay down lines THAT solid while singing. Easily one of the most inspiring bands out there today

[thehumblepundit]

The rhythm section is insane. The groove. Wow. Bass player and the drummer are the highlight here. Incredible.

[mikemoody]

So so good. Benni, I don't think the average person realizes how hard it is to play a bass line like that and sing, you made it look so easy!

This is the first Steely Dan cover that I have truly enjoyed. The original work's production is so definitive that only rarely can a group manage to add anything of value....but these guys have managed it, from every single player. The contrasting guitar voicings work together in a way that I would not have expected. Outstanding job by everyone in the room!

[rudyabiakl]

The sound of the drums is insane and so clean

[Chord_The_Seeker]

Badass. I loved the interplay between Mark and the bassist during Mark’s solo.

[kkfurtado]

You guys definitely should do a Steely Dan medley... I would gladly wait for it. They have so many amazing pieces you could put together! Well done on this!

[bigdognance]

This piece was so spacious...where each instrument and voice has room to breath...excite...then move on through the crispness of slight improvisation well tasted and true! Great Job Guys!

Mark Letter I: Funkiest guitarist in the game...🔥🔥🔥

[frankierodriguez]

Steely Dan is in my opinion the best band ever so, to cover a masterpiece like Josie takes a lot of work, skill and delicacy. excellent Martin, the band is truly flawless. Having here my total hero Mark Lettieri is the icing of a wonderful cake. You are doing something we are not going to be able to repay my friend THANK

[floydburney]

Steely Dan is timeless. Excellent rendition by Miller & his homies. If these guys ever tour? I'll be there.

[bicycleutopia]

i dont play the guitar and know nothing about music as a musician, but as a listener...martin miller is unbelievable. the whole band is fantastic. i cant believe im saying this, but martins solo here is even better than on YYZ....which i thought would be impossible!!! wow.

[skullkid]

So glad I found Martin through Troy Grady. The quality of all these covers is insane.

[MBC]

You guys should cover "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago! Like this comment so Martin and the band can see it

[Roestikrokette]

this band is out of another world! sick bass, epic guitars, a hammond organ from heaven and a clockwork on the drums! genious!

[bartmulder]

Don't know what to say, goosebumps! This song was written and performed by the best musicians in the world and they totally pulled it off while doing their own take on it. Respect!

[Kim_Jong_Un_]

After this brilliant performance I actually had Josie come home

[davidgrey]

One of the most talented bands ive ever heard much love from England

[iandennis]

Incredible groove the drummer takes it to another level

[dftns]

How the bloody hell people can dislike this! It was just delicious! Long live to the Martin Miller Session Band!
