[same info originally avail from "Scott Borton's Steely Dan Album Page" url=http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~borton/steely_dan_albums/ but Broberg's site is more stable: (.edu sites don't last much past person's graduation or staff-separation)]*

corrections, suggestions
[edit]The foregoing would make MUCH more sense as a basis for a Navasota (band) article.
The second track is actually "$2 Bill". #8 is "P. Farm".
Arguably, this album was the coalescing of the original Steely Dan, Fagen + Becker + Skunk Baxter. Both Rootin' and Can't Buy a Thrill were released in 1972.
No idea if this Navasota is any relation: https://www.reverbnation.com/navasota

"Roscoe's Rap"
[edit]There are three tracks that fit under this title. Early in the film is the bed for the Roscoe's commercial. Under the film's end credits is a lyrically different version that refers to the foregoing events (e.g., "I got me a contract / with Mo Fuzz") and changes to the instrumentation. Both of these time out at 2:00. The third version is on the soundtrack album, running 4:36; it is not simply a "full-length version" comprising the other two.
