Katy Lied, Steely Dan's fourth studio album, originally released in 1975 by ABC Records, was certified gold-selling and peaked at No. 13 on the U.S. charts
The single "Black Friday" also charted at No. 37
Showcasing the band's blend of jazz, rock and pop music, its songs explore themes of betrayal, deception, and disillusionment with a sophisticated and cynical edge
From the opening track "Black Friday" with its upbeat tempo and biting lyrics about a stock market crash, to the mournful ballad "Doctor Wu," Katy Lied delivers a range of musical styles and emotions
The album's standout tracks include "Bad Sneakers," a catchy and upbeat tune about a drug dealer, and "Chain Lightning," a dynamic rock song with a powerful guitar solo
One of the defining features of Katy Lied is Steely Dan's meticulous production techniques, which included multiple studio overdubs and the use of top-notch session musicians
The result is a polished and nuanced sound that highlights the band's musical virtuosity and attention to detail
Pitchfork noted: "(Katy Lied) captures Steely Dan in the thick of it all, still hungry and energized by their early burst of creativity but not taking anything for granted
Before Katy Lied, Steely Dan was a rock band, but this is the record where they became something else"
