John and his guest, Rick Marotta, do a deep dive into this classic and somewhat overlooked Steely Dan song, "Don't Take Me Alive." Rick gives an insiders view into the recording of this iconic drum track from Steely Dan's Royal Scam album during the golden age of recording.

Besides breaking down Rick's iconic drum track, we also discuss the other legendary musicians on this track: Larry Carlton on guitar, Don Grolnick on keyboards, Chuck Rainey on bass and of course Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

Welcome to Roadcase!!  We are uber-psyched to have Scott Hachey of the Magic Beans on the show. Scott is a total gem of a human, with an easy smile and a super positive attitude. Having been grinding it out on the road with the Beans for the better part of a decade, Scott is a seasoned veteran of the Road, but no amount of mileage can diminish Scott's zest for life and love of what he does best: melting faces with the Beans special brand of jam-inspired grooviness. Magic Beans also have a new album coming out on July 6, entitled Unzipped --  a collection of instrumental tunes sure to become your favorite summer vibe. Scott started out by jamming with his buddies in the jam-band nexus of CU Boulder, and from there, just kept the ball rolling, touring endlessly to turn fans on and create joy. It's an inspiring story of positivity and overcoming adversity with persistence and determination that you won't want to miss. So grab a handful of beans and jump on the Roadcase bus to learn more about our favorite road warrior, Scott Hachey. It's gonna be a great ride!
