Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'The Best of Steely Dan: Then and Now' was released in 1993, Steely Dan had already established themselves as a cornerstone of American rock since their formation in the early 1970s. This compilation came after a lengthy hiatus following their last studio album, 'Gaucho' in 1980, marking a moment where listeners could revisit the duo's signature sound while they were also contemplating a reunion.
