Month of Music Meme - Day 19 — A Song From Your Favorite Album

[csberry]

My favorite album is Aja by Steely Dan (it swaps w/ the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds as the two albums I would want to have if stranded on a deserted island). One of my favorite tracks from the album is "Peg." It is a great, uptempo song with a jazzy swing, bouncy bass, and the layered vocal stylings of Michael McDonald. Below is a clip from a DVD about Aja from the Classic Album series. You get to see Becker & Fagen behind the board analyzing the various tracks and the recording of the song (along w/ interviews with the engineer and some of the session musicians).
