Some of the highlights are Wonderful Wino (Wino Man) with lead vocals by Frank himself. A true gem recorded at Trident Studios in London.
The same sessions also brought the previously unreleased song Giraffe and an early unfinished version of Envelopes.
Worth mentioning is also an early live version of Easy Meat.

David Crosby and Donald Fagen collaboration



David Crosby tweet June 1, 2020

June first saw this tweet from David Crosby:

Well good morning y’all.....I am at son James ....two new songs are being born ....one of ours and one with Donald Fagen ...yes ...I said that .... that one is called Rodriguez Tonight ....

Good news! Let's hope we get to hear it eventually.

Here's the Rolling Stone article from October 2019 about David's guest appearance with Steely Dan at The Beacon in New York.
