In his excellent Uncut review of the Morrissey “Autobiography”, Michael alludes to the get-out clause afforded rock memoirists post-“Chronicles”: why bother obfuscating certain awkward details when you can, by being capricious with time and chronology, just skip the difficult stuff?
Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen combs over his new solo album, his legendary band and his future in the new issue of Uncut, dated December 2012, and out on Tuesday (October 23).
Fagen also discusses the perils of ageing, as well as why he believes women prefer his solo work to Steely Dan, in the interview.
Asked whether he considers his best work to be ahead of him, the keyboardist and singer says: “I do know I’m no longer interested in my past work. I’ll never listen to this album again.
“All of my past work, it’s garbage to me, see.”
Steely Dan Donald Fagen is scheduled to release a new solo album, Sunken Condos, on October 16, according to the musician's website.
Sunken Condos will be Fagen's fourth solo album. His first three solo albums were The Nightfly (1982), Kamakiriad (1993) and Morph The Cat (2006).
Sunken Condos will feature eight Fagen originals and one cover, which Fagen describes on his website as "an Ashkenazi recasting of Isaac Hayes' Out Of The Ghetto".
