Midnite Cruiser (Steely Dan Cover) In Studio Performance - Brooklyn Charmers

Check out our rockin’ version of “Midnite Cruiser” by Steely Dan! SONGFACTS: -Midnite Cruiser was released on Steely Dan’s debut album “Can’t Buy a Thrill” in 1972. -Drummer Jim Hodder sang lead vocals on the album version. -This is one of several songs on their first album to heavily feature twin lead guitars. They would soon mellow out on subsequent albums; favoring lush vocal and horn arrangements. -This song introduces the ‘Gentleman Loser’ archetype found in other Steely Dan songs such as Deacon Blues and Brooklyn. -The opening line “Felonious my old friend…” is up for interpretation, but it may be a pun on the jazz composer Thelonious Monk and the word felony, involving crime. The Band: Sean Briskey - Guitar, lead vocals Colin Peterik - Keys, vocals Kevin Campbell - Bass, vocals Frankie Lightning - Guitar, vocals Alex Zeravica - Percussion Produced and mixed by Colin Peterik at The Jam Lab in Brookfield, IL Tip the band! paypal.me/brooklyncharmers Merch: www.brooklyncharmers.com/online-store
