Aja is one of the greatest albums ever made in ANY genre.
I agree with that!
Agree! The best pop/jazz album ever! For that matter, maybe the best popular music album of all time. Musicianship was extraordinary. Best of the best studio musicians were selected by Fagen and Becker.
Absolutely
rumors, back in black, the wall, aja, hotel california and thriller!
I agree!😘
The entire album Aja is incredible, it’s a very jazzy yet funky album.
One Hundred Percent.
One f their best
Agree! Must do AJA Album...also like Babylon Sisters from Gaucho Album!
I think their best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my all time favorite bands,been jamming them since the 80s
In this context, The Black Cow is a sweet cocktail essentially like an Ice Cream Sundae with booze in it. Always love your reactions.
so she was high on booze...hopefully
It's a Coke Float.
Black cow doesn’t have booze in it, it’s either a Coca Cola Float or Root Beer Float. (Ice cream float, I mean)
@@anikkigreenlee yes you are right. I did order a black cow cocktail at a bar and was served something like a sundae with Kahlua in it.
There’s an alcohol version and a soda fountain version. The soda fountain version is a root beer float but blended/mixed up kind of like a shake.
Steely Dan is Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. For each song of every album, they use the best session musicians in the business. And the production and engineering are perfect.
Facts!!
SO many Steely Dan hits to check out here: Kid Charlemagne, Peg, Deacon Blues, Reelin' In The Years, Hey Nineteen, Rikki Don't Lose That Number...keep 'em coming, Steely Dan is amazing :)
Pleeeeeease do "Hey Nineteen"!!!
Black cow is chocolae milk with or without booze or in some places The black cow, a classic ice float, is pure nostalgia for the true ice cream parlor lover. Root beer makes a black cow while cola makes a brown cow
No milk in a Black Cow; no chocolate either. Just Coke (or root beer) and vanilla ice cream.
@@danl.909 there was milk chocoalte version of a black cow
Wrong.
Now we're gettin' somewhere on this here channel! Lol. This cut from '77 still bangs and ain't been nothing else like it. Whole album, Aja, is absolute fire.
Chuck Rainey’s monster bass line is what makes this song, for me. 👍
You are right, not only Peter Gunn but also another rapper used it, too. I thought it was sweet when Walter Becke (one of the founders and co-writers with Donald Fagen) died in 2018, the outpouring of respect and love that rappers poured out for him. They not only loved their music for sampling, but a lot of them became fans of their music, too.
Walter Becker.
@@bmw128racer when i type, sometimes I don't realize I left off a letter. Ofc, I know it is Becker, I not only bought every album as soon as they came out, but I also saw them in concert 4 times, one time with Michael McDonald which was awesome.
MF Doom was another rapper who sampled this on his track, “Gas Drawls”
Arguably the best "first 4 songs" on any album...ever.
"AJA" definitely a top 10 GOAT! A Black Cow, as far as I know its Chocolate Ice Cream and Root Beer....or if you want, Kahlua.
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup.
1 c. coca-cola.
1 Tbsp. cream.
1 scoop. chocolate ice cream.
@@Guitarisforgrins Well, there ya go. This just sounds so much better.
@@Guitarisforgrins Uh you forgot the alcohol!
@@USGrant-rr2by The recipe I found didn't include any. But we both know that is a terrible oversite!
Throw Home At Last on there and you can say the best first 5 songs on any album ever.
Hehe. A "Big Black Cow", as I understand it, is what New Yorkers call a rootbeer float. Great reaction. Steely Dan has so many great songs. But, Asia, you guys should check out Steely Dan's song, "Aja" (pronounced "Asia"). The drummer goes nuts. And, as always, Steely Dan produces the tightest songs you'll ever hear.
one of my all time favorite bands, they blended many various genres of music, rock, jazz, blues, funk, and they always had the best studio musicians come in for the recording sessions.
TW...no its a delicious cocktail.
Root beer condensed milk bourbon
@@hooper4581 that's the one.
A Root Beer Float made with Coca Cola instead of Root Beer. There is a version with alcohol !
The reason this song and the Aja album are so jazzy is because Steely Dan brought in pro session musicians and jazz players like Larry Carlton, Wayne Shorter (of Weather Report), Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Chuck Rainey amongst others to play their songs. A classic session album!
Chippers I love you bro but Wayne Shorter (of Weather Report)? Wayne Shorter of WAYNE SHORTER.
@@johnandmarie7250 Yup ,that very same Wayne Shorter. The same guy who played with Miles in his younger days before Weather Report. He does the sax solo on the title track "Aja". Look it up. Check the album credits.... Fagen and Becker were musical geniuses and true musicians' musicians. Many pro players wanted to play on their albums.
My dad made me listen to a ton of Jazz. Lots of Larry Carlton constantly as a kid. God bless him ❤
Not to mention Victor Feldman. Beautiful solo on Black Cow.
All the hired guns. Different lineup for each song. Beautiful.
I always thought of a Black Cow as a hangover drink, especially in the context of this song. She's been out all night "running around" and carousing, staggering home in the wee hours. The Black Cow has lots of sugar, ice cream, chocolate, root beer and probably booze. The amazing aspect of Steely Dan is that their music is timeless, always satisfying, and never grows old or stale. 50 years since their first album, they're still selling out venues, and remain the most smokin' hot live band in the business.
That sounds like the best and most logical explanation of the Black Cow drink especially in the context of this song.
Actually, it's very innocent. Fagen wrote this in the setting of a 50's ice cream, or soda shoppe. The relationship described is, of course, not innocent.
When Steely Dan played this in concert I remember how the Bass FELT, all the way from my chest to my toes.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Deacon Blues", "Aja" and "Josie"!!!!!
josie...man that drum beat is just sick AF :)
@@bugvswindshield Yeah, not nearlly enough people seem to check out Josie.
Josie is so cool.
@@Incomudro1963 yep, I've noticed that. Don't see it requested much either. And it's such a great song.
CHOCOLATE ice cream rootbeer and KALUHA
Add Pretzel Logic and Any Major Dude.
I’ve been a Steely Dan fan for many many years, and I’m a 58yr old black American.
So many years.... A 76 year old white guy. And always reminds me of a guy I worked with who became a close friend and who has passed away. Started working with him in 1979, the year this album came out.
PEG! PEGPEG!PEEEEEEG! Groove fest soon good please 😁😁😁💙💙💙💙
More please! Steely Dan is in the RRHOF. They are in their own genre. Every album should be owned and cherished until you pass the entire catalog to your kids, and grandkids.
Agree totally !!
This song and group were a big part in my youth. Myself and friends running around Los Angeles thinking we were the bomb lol love this song and all the memories that come along with it. Hope all is well guys. As always stay safe and I love you.
Joe...sounds like yr old like me...whats with that kid pic? Lol...
@@michaelasay8587 lol yeah I'm old buddy. 62 had this pic originally to contact old school friends just lazy have never changed it. I should put up a new one. Hope all good.
Same here. A BIG part of my youth!!!😄
A big black cow was ice cream mixed with Cola. Like a root beer float, but it was a diner thing that has multiple versions depending on where you got it.
Actually, when I was growing up and this song came out, a Black Cow was an ''ice cream soda'' made with Cola and chocolate ice cream. Add dark rum if you prefer.
@@pb68slab18 Sounds right. I just remember Donald and Walter saying it was something they got at soda shops growing up. Even they weren’t totally sure.
One of my favorite songs from them. I love to sing the whole song. This is the band that a lot of Rap artists sample. Kanye did copy "Kid Charlemagne" love them. ❤
Can't go wrong with Steely Dan. Another jazz group that you might like is Weather Report. Their song "Birdland' is classic (I doubt that you would want to do a reaction because it won't draw a crowd). Another artist you might like is Boz Scaggs, "Lowdown". Great reaction.
I'd absolutely recommend Birdland as a full reaction - That's probably their most well-known hit, and it's AMAZING.
Also would get them hearing Jaco Pastorius, probably for the first time. Which could lead into Jaco's self-titled debut album, which was INSANELY good.
Phil Collins and Genesis live concert drummer was Chester Thompson. He was with Weather Report when Phil set his sights on him. Phil saw Weather Report in concert with Chester drumming. Phil was so impressed, he called Chester the next day and gave him the gig with no audition. He also drummed for Frank Zappa
“Black Market” is a Weather Report classic that is both accessible and sophisticated. Highly recommended!
From a quick interenet search:
Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer (your choice on the brand but we used A&W Root Beer for this particular one) and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses. Add ice to fill the glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce on the top.
Personally, I think I'd use cream or at least 1/2&1/2.
They create a complete world. It's a time and a place and you're there every time. Sometimes I'll listen to just the drums. So many drummers. 😎👍
You have to do “Aja” ... it’s your name plus a great song with the famous saxophone drums solo ...
Your just at the tip of the iceberg. Many more to check out. Musicianship and production are always top notch with Steely Dan. Check "Babylon Sisters", "Time Out of Mind", "Peg", "Kid Charlemagne", "King of the World", "Everything Must Go"......just naming a select few!
The beautiful piano (Fender Rhodes) in "Black Cow" was played by Victor Feldman. He recorded with many jazz greats, including Benny Goodman, George Shearing, Cannonball Adderley, and Miles Davis, most notably on Davis' 1963 album Seven Steps to Heaven, the title tune composed by Feldman and Davis. Miles Davis invited Feldman to join his group full-time, but Feldman declined, preferring session work to the career of a touring musician, such as working in the studio with Steely Dan, Frank Zappa, and others.
Wife here..Hey Asia.,.I noticed it as a Hip Hop song in the very beginning as well..That Sax is lit!!..Smooth..Funky..Jazz R&B..a little bit of Everything..Makes Steely Dan Sooooo Awesome!!..Perfectly Stated!!!
Steely Dan needs to be listened to at an appropriately high level of volume, on a high quality stereo system, with 4 speakers, and you in the center. Every instrument is precisely placed
in the mix, and when you get to experience it in that setting, it really is on a whole other level of greatness. Their studio mix precision is legendary. Which is obvious even at modest volumes.
When I listen to Steely Dan, so do the neighbors.
@@michaelpozzini6426 And Lucky Neighbors they are!
Much agreed
Very cool jazz rock fusion. Technically perfect with outstanding lyrics. Steely Dan's music will never get old.
Research where they got the band name, you'll get a big kick.
Yup. SD was responsible that opened my ears and mind into Smooth Jazz.
So smooth, so perfect, so digable. And it is very jazz influenced but its all Steely Dan. Loved it!!
Outrageously good! You kids call it sampling though back in my day we called it ripping someone off! One of the best albums of any era. Smooth jazzy, blues with a rock edge!
Aja is an incredible album! Not a bad song on it!!
70/70 🙂 10 for each track
Not a bad song on any Steely Dan album!
black cow: Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer and 2 ounces bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses. Add ice to fill the glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce on the top.
The opening riff was most famously sampled by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. Steely Dan is a musical genre unto themselves. Asia, this song is from the Aja album which is pronounced Asia. This is track one. Just keep going with the entire album. Seven great songs that have stood the test of time. All classics, with Aja, perhaps the best. 👍🔥❤️
Listen to the title track "Aja", the sax and drums will blow you away, and the lyrics and changeups too.
Steely Dan, is so overlooked and underrated. An American original. One of the best.
I've never really thought them as overlooked or underrated 🤔
I could think of a few that are, Travis, Be Bop Deluxe and Barclay James Harvest, you might be thinking now, who the hell are those!
One of the most respected bands in history is not underrated. Anyone who has a knowledge and love of music knows all about them. Just because a bunch of foot-tappers who listen to Macmusic don't get it doesn't mean they're underrated. I hear people saying "underrated" about every band that they like because nobody's playing them day in day out in the media, who know nothing by the way. Look at any song on CZcams and the comments say underrated including the Beatles and Elvis lol.
Steely Dan is known for fusion of different genres - jazz and blues for sure.
Bad ass arrangement and tune....Steely Dan are the best...Check some Midnight Cruiser...and many others....great , deep catalog
Steely Dan is every other band's Favorite Band..
also
a "black cow" is an amazing drink.. go order ya one..
YW
Asia/B,J...You're right--Black Cow's been sampled more than by 1 rapper...And Damned if I can find a bartender that can mix a good one anywhere in my town!! (Black Cow was a candy bar, I Think they still make 'em today)
Steely Dan band is one of my favorite bands from back in the day very talented group 👍🏼
The album Aja which was released in 1977 (I was 10) is one of the absolutely greatest records that has ever been recorded. there is not a bad song on this record. Still play this often...
when I was a kid there was a chocolate milk brand called “black cow” also I think there’s an alcoholic version of “black cow” ...
Thanks for keeping Steely Dan Alive. I'm 61 and am enjoying you guys discovering different music.
Steely Dan is a Rock/Jazz fusion Band. The music, the creative lyrics, it's all so good.
It was awesome for me to stumble upon your site where you all are listening to artists that I grew up with, but for YOU, were first-time events for doing so.
Watching along with you brought me a GREAT amount of joy for several reasons. Seeing a new generation of listeners taking the time to do so, well, OMG...it was like sharing these tunes with friends for THEIR first time. It made me laugh and often brought me to tears to hear how you appreciate these classic tunes as much as I.
I only wish "I" had been able to be the one who turned you on to them in the first place. :-) With each tune you watch, I feel like I am experiencing them WITH you. Thank you so much!
I know there are many people who are doing this, but there are only two sites I enjoy watching, yours being one of only two. Love your reviews, guys.
The keyboard is a Fender Rhodes electric piano. It was played on the record by Victor Feldman, a British pianist, vibes player and drummer who came to the States in the late 50s and stayed based in LA playing jazz gigs and doing lucrative session work. He was also in Miles Davis's band for a while in the 60s.
Steely dan produced hundreds of different versions of cool in their music. Every song is quite different but always on ice.
It's like a root beer float with alcohol. Steely Dan was one of my all time favorite groups. They were mainly a studio band, so it was somewhat rare to catch a live performance.
YES!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank youuuuuuu for reacting to my favorite steely Dan song!!!!
Rudy's is an actual bar in NYC, near DF's apartment. Been around since at least the 1950's. Inside is an enlarged photo of Frank Sinatra in the bar.
Black cow was a very popular drink in the 70…a sweet cocktail. Steely Dan was also known to tell a story with their music…It still sound good after all these years.
Black Cow: 10 ounces root beer (or cola) · 2 scoops vanilla ice cream · 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup · 1 1⁄2 ounces whipped cream · maraschino cherry. If it's an alcohol drink, Kahlua is normally used sans the root beer (or cola).
Their song Hatian Divorce is a fun one that I think you guys would enjoy, I don't see a lot of people talk about it but it's one of my favorites of their's. Oh and I just wanted to let ya'll know you're killing it with these videos, it's such a joy watching you experience all this great music!
Don't take me Alive! Guitar solo at the start......
The late Paul Humphrey's super tight drumming, and the incomparible Chuck Rainey on bass really makes this cut great. You are listening to the cream of the session boyz, the best of the best. My #1 all time album followed by another must listen, Steely Dan's, "The Royal Scam".
AJA - One of the greatest albums ever ! Seventies very creative decade .
Steely Dan music royalty .
Larry Carlton playing bluesy guitar
( Larry played
on 100 + Gold albums )
🏆🙋♂️🎷
Welcome aboard! Gaucho and Aja are my two favorite Steely Dan albums. Real musicians use to make such great music. It's such a shame that radio stations play so much computerized music now days.
I suppose every SD fan will have their favourite albums, mine are Pretzel Logic (one of my favourite albums of all time) and The Royal Scam.
You guys are awesome.
I'm so happy you dig the Dan of Steel ! Renewed my faith.
Thanks again!
Black Cow-Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer (your choice of the brand but we used A&W Root Beer for this particular one) and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses.
This is my favorite Steely Dan song. The drink is an adult root beer float. Very 70s. My dad's chainsmoking aunt used to drink these. A lot. It reminds me of her. Visiting on Sundays in the 70s. In her polyester outfits, cig in one hand. Drink in the other. Telling the most obscene jokes.
What is a black cow drink made of?

This song was released in 1977 and 45 years. and 45 years later its still making money for Steely Dan.
A traditional Black Cow is 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream in a mug filled wit Root Beer, add Chocolate Syrup and whipped cream, some add Irish Creame or Bourbon to the mix

you need to react to their song “Show Biz Kids”. Very different lyrics and music, they were a very versatile group you could count on them to do a little bit of everything and even something different
Believe this song was about the porn industry....
BJ and Asia, your impression of Steely Dan's sound is accurate: a blend of rock, jazz, funk, blues and R&B.
As the saying goes, Steely Dan is your favorite band's favorite band!
There was such great music growing up, of every genre. Very glad you two enjoyed it!
Huge Steely Dan fan!!!🤘🏾
Funky bluesy rocky and a touch of reggae from time to time...
"Glamour Profession" is perhaps the dopest of them all!! It's tha 1 🏌🏾♂️⛳️
As you listen to more and more Steely Dan, you will recognize more and more of their songs that have been sampled. They are one of the most sampled bands.
Black Cow is such a perfect “mood piece” of a song…it’s a song that lets you sit back with the music while it takes you on a story.
Welcome to the genius that is Steely Dan. Go ahead, fall in.
Yes it is a real drink!!! Have y’all ever heard their song deacon blue? It’s really nice!
Write all of the Steely Dan songs on pieces of paper, put them in a hat and pick. Hard to pick a bad song. THEY are a whole vibe
yeah Black Cow is a drink, prob upscale bars.
not where i was bartender;
in 6 years of mixing drinks i had 1 customer order a cream drink!
love this album, put it on and relax...
would also make good background music.
First cut of the lp. You really should listen to Aja all the way through. Classic and classy.
I'm 71 years old, grew up listen to Steely Day. They were a mixture of jazz and rock. The music of the 70s was the best.
You just listened to a stunning track from one of the best albums ever made by any group any where anytime!! You must listen to the whole album!!
I think when BJ talks about a "Charlie Brown Keyboard" he's talking about the sound of a Rhodes Electric Piano! You should listen to more Steely Dan, they are all over the place. I personally suggest "Night By Night" or "Babylon Sisters", or "Kid Charlemagne", "Green Earrings". all absolute classics. Can't go wrong with Steely Dan
Steely Dan lead men Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker. have been eating off this song and collecting royalties for over 45 years from 1977 / 2022 now that is impressive, how many of todays, rappers & singers will be living off the royalties from there music 45 years from now in the year 2067.
My favourite band among many favourites,and I’m a Brit where we have tons of choice.
This rabbit hole is deep and rich with quality.
Hard to pick a favorite from the glorious Steely Dan catalogue, but this would definitely be top ten.
I totally agree. I can't resist naming a few of mine 😏
My Old School
Pretzel Logic
Caves of Altamira
Through with Buzz
I Got the News
Doctor Wu
Change of the Guard
Plenty more of course, but they are just some of my favourites.
A fusion of jazz and r&b from one of the greatest bands ever
Way back in the day, a Black Cow was also a soda fountain drink. Believe it was root beer, scoop of vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup.
Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer (your choice on the brand but we used A&W Root Beer for this particular one) and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses. Add ice to fill the glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce on the top.
Really like your reactions! I bought Aja on vinyl in 1978 when I was 19. Behind Aja, which is my favorite song ever, this one is number two. Please keep on with SD!
Love it! More Steely Dan please! 😎💖
Hey NOW!!! One of my favorites on my playlist!!! Big Black Cow on the house!!!
heard this album the night before it was released on Q-fm 96 in columbus,ohio and was mesmerized...still am....one 0f the 70's top albums and a samplers dream...appreciate you guys,Kent in ohio
BIG BLACK COW - Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer (your choice on the brand but we used A&W Root Beer for this particular one) and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses. Add ice to fill the glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce on the top.
This song reminds me of my mother. She's the only person I've ever known to drink Black Cow (she gave me a shot). That was such a perfect time of life. I didn't know it then. ❤️❤️❤️
Combine 1/2 cup of evaporated milk with 2 cups of root beer (your choice on the brand but we used A&W Root Beer for this particular one) and 2 ounces of your favorite bourbon. Mix then split between two tall cocktail glasses. Add ice to fill the glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce on the top. Lol. Steely is like no other....one of my fav.s of all time
Glad you have stepped into the Aja album. Keep riding this train!!! Jazz meets funk meets R&B for sure.
Always thought a Black Cow was a cocktail (rum/ burbourn/ different recipes) but in an old Steely Dan interview I heard recently they said it was a children's drink with cola and milk that was popular in the 60's, and that's what it is referring to. 😛
You two have many more Steely Dan songs to react to that I'm sure you'll love. As you've been told, Aja, the album, is fire. As is Royal Scam and Gaucho. All their other albums are filled with great music, but the three aforementioned are considered, by most people that I know, to be the best. Truly dive deep with this one of a kind, generational dynamic duo of Walter Becker, RIP, and Lead singer Donald Fagen. I love your reactions and can't wait to see you check out more Steely Dan. The more SD you listen to, the more samples you'll hear. Peace
Explore them further. So much more to offer. Good stuff.
Great song great reaction, I told my 15 year daughter that you reacted to this, she loves her some Steely Dan so I had to by her the Aja album so she can play it to her heart’s content on her little record player - she’s an old timer at heart lol. She wants you to react to Peg now
I remember back in HS Jazz band, '83-'84, the instructor put this sheet music in front of us. I was looking over the chords, (guitar), and was terrified. lol
BJ: Interesting making that connection to the Charlie Brown keyboard. That's the Vince Guaraldi Trio, and very likely a huge influence on Donald Fagan.
Yep been sampled quite a bit..... you guys should check out some more Dan for sure, they are masters of arrangement and smooth vibes but funky too... great reaction thanks!
