Steely Dan were closer to the days of The Golden Age of Hollywood, Vaudeville and Prohibition than they are to the here and now. They sound like it on Pretzel Logic. This is highly adult and occasionally slightly sleazy stuff. They talk of guns and fraud and keep it as tight as Elmore Leonard and Dashiell Hammett. This is well thumbed, funky and jazzy by tyrns. Incredibly licud and erudite and reads as delicious gossip about a cast of characters that you feel you know even though you've never actually met them .
