''Morph the Cat'' is a Grammy Award-winning 2006 album by Donald Fagen, his first solo release since 1993. The nine-track album was released in the US on March 14, 2006. Additional musicians performing on the album include drummer Keith Carlock, guitarists Wayne Krantz, Kenny Wessel, Jon Herington, Hugh McCracken, Ken Emerson, clarinetist Lawrence Feldman, pianist Ted Baker and saxophonist Walt Weiskopf, among others. The album, a mental rumination of death and old age, blends Fagen's signature storytelling and groove-oriented, backing vocal-laden style. "H Gang" is the lead single. It is available in digital format. The album was released as an audio CD, a vinyl record and a Special Edition CD/DVD. The DVD features versions of the album in Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1 playable on DVD-Video players and high-resolution stereo and surround tracks for DVD-Audio players. The 5.1 mix won the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Surround Sound Album.〔(GRAMMY.com — 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards Winners List )〕 Fagen embarked on a 20-date studio tour (with the Donald Fagen Band) on March 1, 2006; nearly two weeks before the release of the album itself. Fagen performed songs from his latest album, his earlier solo work, as well as classic Steely Dan favorites. The tour was his first solo tour "since high school." The dates left out many areas along the USA's eastern seaboard and its south/southeast regions, leading some fans to correctly surmise that Fagen would join partner Walter Becker on a summer Steely Dan tour. ==Track listing== All songs written by Donald Fagen. #"Morph the Cat" – 6:49 #"H Gang" – 5:15 #"What I Do" – 6:01 #"Brite Nitegown" – 7:16 #"The Great Pagoda of Funn" – 7:39 #"Security Joan" – 6:09 #"The Night Belongs to Mona" – 4:18 #"Mary Shut the Garden Door" – 6:29 #"Morph the Cat (Reprise)" – 2:53 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morph the Cat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
