Yes thank-you! Being a guitar player I tend to focus in on
guitar players,but appreciate a fine drummer,the backbone
of all good bands.

Keith Moon always seemed to be having a fight with his drums.

Hi Gaucho,

When does Circus Money come out? I'm a huge Steeley Dan fan also and I want to check out Becker's latest.

Thanks for the review!

Disregard, I just found it.

Circus Money - 06-27-2008, 03:42 PM

I think “Circus Money” is great. It’s good to see that Becker is still producing excellent great music. There is an international release of the album with bonus tracks at Sonic360. I'm tempted to order the international version just to hear the bonus track. Becker's music is like a breath of fresh air. And I really don't think his vocals are as bad as some say... at least he's not trying to rap or something that he's not capable of.

Hello whitete,

It's out now and a mightty fine album it is.Smooth and cool with
some dark ominous clouds and fine musicianship all around.
And Becker puts in a fine,cool vocal performance and his
arrangements as always, superb.

It's on,Sparks,Mp3sale and Lavamus.

Enjoy,


Nightfly

Thank you Nightfly. I have been listening to Circus Money, but I'm afraid I don't love it. Walter's voice still could use some help. I'll give it a few more listens, though. I certainly respect your opinion, Sir Nightfly.
