Brooklyn Charmers: A Fine Dan ‘Tribute Band’…

Steely Dan are one of my favourite bands. Walter and Donald wrote some of the finest music… ever imho.

Here are wonderful covers of two of my favourite Dan tracks, ‘Your Gold Teeth’ and ‘Your Gold Teeth II’, sown together in a great medley. These two tracks demonstrate everything I love about the Dan; the jazz infused, yet totally accessible rock and roll, all with that cutting edge of intellectual idiosyncrasy that exudes wisdom.

This band, ‘Brooklyn Charmers’, is simply amazing. I haven’t seen a better cover of these tracks. Check them out.

Light dispels darkness
Cockroaches scurry away
There’s no doubt or fear

Look — something’s wrong here
Crooked as a dog’s hind leg
Horse led to water

Angelic voices
Clearing skies reveal the sun
Silent sheep await
