I just watched another damn good video of/with this song. Go to YouTube and type in this: Donald Fagen, New Frontier, (Lyrics). It captures the 1950’s well. I think you will enjoy it.
Nice video - great photos and certainly an emphasis on Tuesday Weld.
Glad to see the musician credits listed incl the GREAT Larry Carlton on guitar - tastefully smooth on this song.
LC also played lead/arranged almost half the songs on Steeley Dan’s “The Royal Scam”, sometimes known as their guitar album. LC played the smoking leads on “Kid Charlemagne” and my favorite, “Don’t Take Me Alive”
Fun fact: The assistant engineer was Elliot Scheiner who also assisted on the album, “Gaucho”. During that time, he dated a young 19 y/o SoCal girl who he had absolutely nothing in common...and that became the song, “Hey Nineteen”
