Guitar fans... I recreate, rather successfully I think, the original iconic Larry Carlton guitar solo on the intro note for note. The track wouldn't have been the same! I'm an advocate of stamping your own style on covers so I then do my own thing.
"Don't Take Me Alive" is the third track from the fifth Steely Dan album the Royal Scam. Written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen of course. Leaving no mystery to the lyrics, "Don't Take Me Alive" is about a violent criminal holed up with "a case of dynamite" telling the cops to shoot him
Steely Dan Trivia... Do you have the multi-track masters for "Black Cow"? If so, Donald Fagen will give you a $600 reward, since their copy went missing. For this reason, re-mastering the album as a Super Audio CD has been put on hold indefinitely.
