Steely Dan's songs are so amazing in their smooth and flawless instrumentation and subtle chord and tempo changes. But this song rises above all the others in that it combines a suave, smoky atmosphere with all those other elements in a way that is beyond perfection. This is the type of song that could send you off into a dream world that you would love to immerse yourself in, a drifting off into eternity.

Fagen and Becker asked their producer, Gary Katz, to arrange for Pete Christlieb to add a saxophone part. At the time, neither Becker nor Fagen knew Christlieb by name, only by his reputation as a musician on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Christlieb went to the studio and recorded the solo after taping The Tonight Show one evening. They told him to play what he felt. Hey, I'm a jazz musician, that's what I do ... so I recorded my first solo ... we listened back and they said it was great. I recorded a second take and that's the one they used. I was gone in a half hour.

The great jazz saxophone musician, Wayne Shorter, sat in on this song (and others). The two permanent members of the band, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, would bring into the studio many, many of the best musicians to play on individual songs. In other words, as many as 12 guitarists would play a solo, and then, the two would choose which one was best. But Wayne Shorter is a genius of 20th Century jazz and he improvised while listening to the song as it played through the headphones. That is my understanding.

You mentioned all the background details in the song. Agreed. I view the ability to weave in so many items and sounds that compliment each other as a mark of musical genius. It takes a lot to build such a complicated song. A lesser musician might throw in a bunch of noises and sounds but they would not necessarily really work together. This reminds me of the Brandenburg concertos by JS Bach. Super complicated and takes a real ear to take it all in.

Deacon Jones was a winner man, not a loser. Meanwhile, Wake Forest went 1-10 in 1977 and 1-10 in 1978. Was Deacon Jones a loser? No, was Wake Forest? Yes, just the opposite of Alabama who won 2 straight National titles.

@@MrRondonmon I hear what you’re saying but “Deacon Blues” is a character all his own, not a reference to anything. Here’s Fagen’s quote. On the origin of the song's name, Fagen says, it was inspired by football player Deacon Jones, as they like the sound of his name: "It also had two syllables, which was convenient, like 'Crimson.'"[2] The song, however, is really about "the ultimate outsider, the flip side of the dream, boy-o . . . call me Deacon Blues."[10]

And then mixing it down with perfect separation and balance. And all of that after composition of every one of those elements. And the genius of the melody and lyrics above all. I got to see them live with my son (to whom I have passed down a love of their great music), and they put just as much care into the live performance as the recorded versions. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking me back to the first time I heard this when I was still a young man of 19. I felt the decades melt away.
