John and his guest, Rick Marotta, do a deep dive into this classic and somewhat overlooked Steely Dan song, "Don't Take Me Alive." Rick gives an insiders view into the recording of this iconic drum track from Steely Dan's Royal Scam album during the golden age of recording.

Besides breaking down Rick's iconic drum track, we also discuss the other legendary musicians on this track: Larry Carlton on guitar, Don Grolnick on keyboards, Chuck Rainey on bass and of course Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.
