Downtown Canon (Digital Single) By Walter Becker

When Walter was a kid, he used to work summers at his father’s office on Canal Street. They made a lot of deliveries to Soho, where artists were just beginning to move into lofts. Later, in college, when he'd meet someone with a loft he’d think to himself, ‘Just wait until I get one of those.’ 'Downtown Canon' is a beautiful, lilting Steely Dan-esque song reminiscing a dream-romance set in a downtown loft. One of the highlights from the 'Circus Money' album, 'Downtown Canon' is out digitally on 15th June 2009.

Circus Money By Walter Becker

In 1994, Walter Becker’s solo debut 11 Tracks of Whack established that he had more to say – and more ways to say it – than could be contained in the epochal oeuvre of Steely Dan.

Circus Money marks Becker's long-awaited return to stand-alone status. Aiding and abetting Becker is Grammy-winning producer and co-writer Larry Klein (Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters), plus Steely Dan musicians; drummer Keith Carlock, guitarist Jon Herington, saxophonist Chris Potter, and keyboardists Ted Baker and Jim Beard.

For all its talented complement, listening to Circus Money produces an unquestionably Beckeresque experience. Singular, sublime, and just a little warped; there can be no imagining this music as coming from anyone else.
