• “Gaucho” was released in 1980 as the seventh studio album by the jazz rock band Steely Dan. With it, the perfectionism of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen reached its peak: no less than 42 musicians wore them out during their two-year recordings in the studio. It goes without saying that the financial advance of their record label was mercilessly exhausted. The album is more minimalist than its predecessors, songs develop from and around a single rhythm or mood and they are primarily about extensive drug use. “Gaucho” wants to be conquered; “Babylon Sisters” and “Hey Nineteen” are real Steely Dan pearls.
