Donald Fagen: Kamakiriad
Andy Gill, Independent, The, 27 May 1993
ELEVEN years between albums is excessive, even by living-legend standards. For some pop performers, that's time enough to get discovered, be the next big thing, reach the top, drink Scotch whisky all night long, and die behind the wheel. For Donald Fagen, insulated by all those Steely Dan CD reissue royalties, it's just time enough to ponder the follow-up to your debut solo album.
