laviolet 8th Jul 2022		Review In the spring of 1970, 19-year-old Linda Hoover entered a New York studio to record her debut album for Roulette Records. Gary Katz was in charge as producer, while his protegés Donald Fagen and Walter Becker handled arrangements and contributed five songs. Other participating musicians included guitarists Denny Dias and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Ultimately, label boss Morris Levy declined to release the finished album after finding he would control copyright on only three of the 11 songs. Becker, Fagen, Dias, and Baxter formed Steely Dan two years later. Fifty years after that Hoover's record was finally released, restored from her quarter-inch tape copy. Okay, that's the history, but what about the music? Excellent. Hoover was a formidable talent; I agree with a review that likened her to Mary Hopkin. Becker and Fagen's five songs contain what became Steely Dan's signature quirky chords and cryptic lyrics. Hoover's three compositions provide a counterpoint, especially the lovely closer "The Dove." Highly recommended. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
