We're partial to Donald Fagen's "Morph the Cat." (I stand corrected, Mike. Originally released in March, but there's a new push on for the album now.) It's Fagen's first solo album in 13 years; he's half of Steely Dan's duo. Amazon.com reviewer Lloyd Sachs writes: "The grandly allusive 'Morph,' named after what Fagen describes as a 'vast, ghostly cat-thing' that hovers in the Manhattan sky, reflects with no loss of irony or oblique meaning on the angst and sense of loss felt in the post-9/11 world."
It's filled with plenty of Fagen's unique blend of jazz, soul and funk.

Doesn't come out until Tuesday? Hmm...I've had it since about March. Amazon reports it was released March 14, 2006.
Either way, it is a pretty decent record. Hey, Jill...you see my shout-out in Ron Williams' column from Thursday?? Looks like my sorry but has gone semi-legitimate!
Of course I spelled "butt" wrong. Either way, I hope it's appropriate for your readers!
Hey, Mike, you kicked my butt on the release date for "Morph the Cat." Thanks for keeping me honest. And I did see Ron Williams' reference to your blog. Sounds as if you did some nice digging. Congrats.
