Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: New Frontier
Gear costume: Ruby Baby
Active compensatory factors: I enjoy, without absolutely loving, this debut solo album from one half of Steely Dan.

It's familiar territory, and that's down to Fagen and all the musicians he used in Steely Dan albums as well. Although, having said that, the songs are quite autobiographical compared to his work with Steely Dan and it's a lot jazzier in style as well. Walk Between Raindrops is a good example as it trips along on jazzy organ lines from Donald.
New Frontier was my entry to the album, thanks to the wonderful video that was on all of the music video shows that were a big deal back in 1982. Weird how short lived they all were. YouTube killed them all off.
Bottom line: it's just not an album I have a hankering to come back and listen to that often, unlike Steely Dan albums. I'm not sure why that is.
Where do they all belong? A lot more Fagen to come when we eventually get to S.
