"The Second Arrangement" with Jokermen
A discussion of Steely Dan's Holy Grail of recordings
Jokermen, a podcast about Good Music, has spent the summer discussing Steely Dan’s magnificent seven LPs from 1972 to 1980. Back in June, host Ian Grant and I kicked things off with Can’t Buy a Thrill. Recently we reconvened for a Very Special Episode™ about “The Second Arrangement.” We spoke about my interview with the engineer who erased the song, the long-awaited release of Roger Nichols’s cassette tape, and how Steely Dan fans lamentably have nothing comparable to Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series. Listen to a preview of the episode below, and subscribe to Jokermen to get the full monty.
Very cool. Really enjoyed this interview, thanks Jake.
