Reelin' In The Years is the first ever biography of Steely Dan,
the super-cool American jazz rock 'band' who have sold over 50

§
It tells the strange tale of how Walter Becker and Donald Fagen,
a couple of cynical New York jazz fans, wormed their way into a
record contract and astonished critics with the first Dan album
'Can't Buy A Thrill' in 1973. Nine albums later, after 'Aja' had
topped charts everywhere, they were among the biggest selling
acts in the world. Then they quit, only to reform
in 1993 more popular than ever.
§
But Steely Dan were different from the rest of rock's super-sellers.
They rarely gave interviews. After some early bad experiences on the
road, they refused to tour. They didn't have their photographs taken.
Few people knew what they looked like. Steely Dan wasn't even a
proper group; it was two musicians and their producer, yet every top
notch player in the world lined up to appear on their albums. They
were perfectionists. They were enigmatic. They were very rich.
Their music was the coolest around.
