Walter Becker

Musician

Walter Carl Becker (1950–2017) was an American musician, songwriter, record producer and co-founder of Steely Dan, known for bass, guitar and songwriting.

Co-founded Steely Dan with Donald Fagen; released solo albums including 11 Tracks Of Whack (1994) and Circus Money (2008). Becker was active from the late 1960s until his death in 2017.

A single detailed review of Walter Becker's solo album 11 Tracks Of Whack highlights its Steely Dan flavour, lyrical wordplay and varied tracks. The reviewer rates it 3/5, calling it a collector's item rather than an essential masterpiece. Musical descriptions praise Becker's guitar and arrangement choices. The review places the solo record alongside Donald Fagen's solo work.

For:Steely Dan fans, collectors of classic rock/jazz-rock, listeners of sophisticated pop/rock arrangements

 A large part of the charm and "cultural" content of the Steely Dan phenomenon, in addition to the music, lies in the uniqueness of the lyrics and the wordplay they contain, with explicit or hidden references to contemporary U.S. culture.
