Donald Fagen playing on David Crosby's upcoming album

Since Radio Dupree was started with a special dose of affinity for Steely Dan and Frank Zappa, we do keep an extra pair of eyes open for any news about those artists. So excuse us for the headline beginning with Donald and not David. 

July 23, 2021 is the date David Crosby will release his album For Free. Roughly one month before he turns 80. 

Among the musicians on the record is Donald Fagen, who's latest solo album Sunken Condos was released in 2012. He has kept a low profile as far as new recordings go and instead opted for touring as Steely Dan. He has, however, appeared on other musicians recordings. And this is the latest example.

Meanwhile Steely Dan is set to tour again starting in May, 2022, It's the twice postponed 2020 Earth After Hours Tour with Steve Winwood that hopefully will go live next year after the pandemic situation has been sorted out. 

Anyway, here's a preview track from For Free written by David's son James Raymond and Michael McDonald (Another Steely Dan connection!):
