Chain Lightning Steely Dan Lyrics video

"Though those days were numbered by the time of Katy Lied, Steely Dan liked the occasional break on their records from the cerebral arty jazz-rock of their preference and just jam out with some simpler, blues-based ditty. “Chain Lightning” with its standard 12 bar blues approach can be seen as a follow-up to “Pretzel Logic” (the song, not the album), and like that tune, the harmony was tinkered with to make the song stand out a bit. In fact, when you dissect the song, it’s only really “simple” relative to other SD songs. With another appearance by guitar great Rick Derringer, “Chain Lightning” can also be construed as a follow-up to the earlier “Show Biz Kids.”
