They are like nobody else. The arrangements, the expertise of the individual players, the craftsmanship of the engineers and the mix, it's pretty hard to find a fault with them. Now, some people just may not like their music, but it's not for a lack of anything I just mentioned.

[rickmts]

The two best produced and engineered bands were Steely Dan and Supertramp. Masterclass

The amazing Jeff Porcaro on drums
Member of Toto and many sessions

Hello Harri, my first time here, much appreciate your honest take, Gaucho is the late Walter Becker, and the years surrounding this recording were a real low for Becker, the song makes references to calling your ride or die "gaucho" like being blood brothers, Gaucho the album, is Fagen's dedication to Becker and was the last Steely Dan album before the Donald went solo. Steely Dan owed one last album to ABC/MCA because Walter was falling apart and wrecking the negotiations. The nasty narcotics habit he picked up on the West Coast was affecting his work, and in January 1980, his girlfriend was found dead in their apartment from a drug overdose, just a few months after the overdose, Becker suffered serious injuries when a cab struck him as he was crossing a street in NYC. It took six months to recover "Custerdome" is a reference to Warner Brothers, the powerhouse label with whom Fagen is working to get signed. But Warner execs are telling Fagen, despite his protests, that Becker is not part of the deal, the type of obscure reference that we love from Steely Dan.

The boss is hosting some high rollers in the indoor stadium (high in the Custerdome) and his underling (possibly lover) has brought another lover (the Gaucho) to work, possibly asking for favors, To make matters worse, the Gaucho is wearing clothing that the boss had given to his lover.

[danielthompson]

I read this is about Walter's Heroin dealer. This was the last song on this album. Walter was so strung out on heroin that he would come to recording sessions and be so wasted he couldn't play and leave (try again tomorrow). "We've got heavy rollers" (highly paid studio musicians) sitting around waiting for Walter to be coherent enough to play. After this album they broke up and Walter went to Hawaii for 2 years to get off heroin, which he thankfully did. Donald was so fed up with him at the time he went off and made solo albums. Which are very good.

Jeff's drumming as well as Tom Scott on sax and Randy Brecker on trumpet make this shine.

[russelldavis]

As is often said, Steely Dan is not the greatest band of all time but they are the only perfect band ever.

[theivory]

This is my top three for them. Jeff is so good here.

[Frobur]

Genius how Porcaro lays out almost completely during the last verse, bringing it back one last time to close things out… defines taste and class.

[SkeevyBrother]

Jeff Porcaro is credited for saving this song after a night of editing with Katz. Another reason to love him.

Tom Scott, sax player and arranger, Aja, Gaucho, says Fagan came to him with an idea for a song. He had heard a high powered entertainment exec. brought his gay lover, dressed like a Gaucho, to a big meeting. Start there. Scott told him it sounds like a winner.

[danieltruyts-kegi]

After more than 40 years listening to this song (and album) the chorus of 'gaucho' still sends shivers down my spine... those horns, the harmonies, the backgroud vocals ...

[stephensarahbutcherhowell]

Remember driving with my mom. Asia and Goucho were a constant

[jamesjrdollenmeyer]

The title track from "Aja" is a must. It is essential.

[Cynthia...]

Steely Dan has so many great songs. Thanks André and Harri.

[BeeGee]

I’ve read that the Gaucho was Walters’s drug dealer that was hanging around the studio. Seems to fit the lyrics and what was going on at that time with them

[clannadgermany]

If I should list my over all top 10 bands since I can remember, Steely Dan would surely be 1 of those. So much awesome songs since 1972, when I listened the first time, it was Do it again. And master mind Donald Fagen !!!! Grooves, sounds, vibes...just everything, Pop/rock/R&B/Soul/Funk/Jazz, unique mixture ever. And here it is the late Jeff Porcaro on drums. The ladies backing vocals are "Lesley Miller, Valerie Simpson, Patti Austin" and on sax the great Randy Brecker Fantastic, great !

[BrixtonTone]

My favourite album from Steely Dan, bought it upon release and still listening to it this very day
Lot's of interpretations of this song out there but the general consensus is that Walter Becker had a "shady" leech of a friend that Donald Fagan did not approve of.

[JohnJones-rdwj]

Every time you listen to one of their songs you will discover something you didn't hear before.They are Deep

[alanmusicman]

One of my top SD tracks - Everything about it works so well - the sparseness of the music at various point, the slow build to the chorus, the essential ingredient of the contrast between Ashford and Simpson's sweet sweet vocals with Donald's edgy rasping semi-narrative voice - the way that the horns sections and soloists are used - all that plus a production quality that has never been bettered - even in the digital age. I often find myself wishing that SD had produced more, but then I realise that its best to just be grateful for the cavern of treasures that we do have.
