It popped up a couple of months ago. Steely Dan's cover of the song Carey recorded for a tribute album released in 2007 on Nonesuch Records titled just A Tribute to Joni Mitchell. Back them it had been in the works for seven years!

We wrote about it in 2006 stating a lot of the songs and artists that in the end didn't make the album. Including Steely Dan. Click here to read that post.

It should be said that this is not an official release, but it is out and being shared. Want to hear it?

Here's a Youtube link.

And here's one more from another Youtube poster who's done a "gentle remaster".

We're happy to finally hear the Steely Dan version even if it is more
than 20 years after it was recorded.

Three years old by now, but a great cover of a track from Donald Fagen's Sunken Condos album. Bradley Smith is the name of this talented guy.

Lisa Loeb covers Steely Dan on Conan

Since we started this here Radio Dupree thingy on two must-play-artists; Frank Zappa and Steely Dan, we feel obliged to post this brand new performance of Dirty Work by Lisa Loeb. The connection of course being a Steely Dan song sung by Lisa who in the early 2000's had a personal and professional relationship with Dweezil Zappa.

And here's the web exclusive performance from the TV show Conan.

Joe Jackson cover Steely Dan's Any Major Dude Will Tell You

It's been on YouTube since 2007, and if you ask us it's still one of the best Steely Dan covers.

The Darcys' Josie video and remix

We wrote about it back in January and with the arrival of a video for one of the songs it is once again time to mention Canadian prog-rock band The Darcys' take on Steely Dan's album Aja.
