TERRY RADSHAW is back and ready to DO IT AGAIN as they return to the Needle Drop series with the ultimate sound of summer; Steely Dan's triumphiant debut CAN'T BUY A THRILL! One of the foundational texts of Yacht Rock, Steely Dan on Can't Buy a Thrill is basically the Talking Heads for guys with expense accounts - combining world music with realtively straight forward classic soft rock textures; the jazz influences that would become a hallmark of their work was still a little ways away from this material. That more straight forward sound led to a string of indelible timeless summertime hits they would never (try) to match - from the laid back lounger harmonies of DIRTY WORK to the samba rhythm of ONLY A FOOL WOULD DO THAT. The guitar led REELIN IN THE YEARS (one of only 2 singles released from the album) gives way to the frantic piano spasms of FIRE IN THE HOLE seamlessly. Now it's time for TERRY RADSHAW to take the stage and do what Steely Dan was terrified to do in the albums wake; play it LIVE AND IN FULL - no time for multiple studio retakes, shuffling of top-tier session musicans, or funky overdubs here. Just the record you remember, ready to dance along to, Live on the Bottlerocket Stage!
