Donald Fagen: “Viva Viva Rock ‘n’ Roll” (Live) (2007)
With the talent Donald Fagen takes out on the road for accompaniment, one might be forgiven for wishing they’d, I dunno…tear it up a little more often. But since they’re mainly playing Steely Dan songs, I won’t complain about that. Still I love this little live encore nugget, unheard by many Dan fans.

Southern Culture on the Skids: “Liquored Up and Lacquered Down” (2000)
“This one’s dedicated to big hair…and high balls”, says guitarist and vocalist Rick Miller as he introduces this song on SCOTS’s live album. Although their sound is typically more along the lines of a country/surf guitar/rockabilly blend, “Liquored Up and Lacquered Down” isn’t a bad calling card for their winking, deliberately white-trashy, double-entendre laden, good-time party sound. They’ve carved out a sound and a look of their own: Miller is a walking tribute to bad taste in clothing; bassist Mary Huff, who sports the big hair herself, just might be dressed like a waitress from a roadside greasy spoon if you see them live. And you should. Hank definitely did NOT do it this way.

Rob Dickinson: “Oceans” (2005)
Rob Dickinson stepped out five years after the demise of his band Catherine Wheel with his first solo album, Fresh Wine For The Horses. The sweeping, passionate plea “Oceans” was a highlight.
Rob is Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson’s cousin.
