David Crosby is a longtime Steely Dan super fan; he’s called Donald Fagen one of his all-time songwriting heroes, and he lists Aja and the Royal Scam among his favorite albums ever created. But he never actually got a chance to work with Fagen until the sessions for his upcoming LP For Free (out July 23rd) where they teamed up to create “Rodriguez for a Night.”
“I’m so honored he gave us a set of words,” Crosby told Rolling Stone last year. “I’ve been asking him for a couple of years.

James Taylor is Martha’s Vineyard in the 1970s, campfire circles in the New England woods and sun-drenched barbecues in western Massachusetts. He’s Boston’s Fenway Park and preppy college frat parties in the 1980s and acoustic guitar by the Charles River on muggy summer nights.
