{"product_id":"royal-scam","title":"Royal Scam","description":"Amazon.com\n\nOutlaw drug designers, neolithic painters, homicidal maniacs, false prophets, libidinous divorcées: a glance at the characters confirms it's another tour through the modern wasteland conceived and vividly realized by Steely Dan. By 1975, the group was distilled to songwriters Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, abetted by producer Gary Katz and engineer Roger Nichols who focused solely on studio recordings with a shifting repertory of the best musicians they could find. The Royal Scam, their fifth album, reels smartly from the Owsley-like antihero of \"Kid Charlemagne\" to the cornered psychopath of \"Don't Take Me Alive,\" dissects the American nightmare from the immigrant's marginalized perspective on the title song, and captures the most leering guitar solo in history on \"Haitian Divorce.\" As always, the chaos is harnessed in seductive melodies, shimmering harmonies, and indelible vocals from Fagen, decorated with stellar work from the A-team players. --Sam Sutherland\n\nProduct description\n\nSTEELY DAN - The Royal Scam - Classic Rock Album on CD , 9 Tracks\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002PD8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002PD8.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steely Dan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
