This album is a singular effort by a master songwriter. It was his first solo effort but he had years of experience being the most functional member of Steely Dan and in forming lasting relationships with the best musicians in the business. Larry Carlton plays guitar on every track and he is, in my humble opinion, the most talented and versatile guitarist in the land. My two favorite songs are "Maxine" and "Walk Between The Raindrops", but the hits like "I.G.Y." and "New Frontier" are just as amazing. Every other track will keep you entertained as well. Enjoy.
