Steely
Dan recorded the album in August 1972 at the Village Recorder in Los
Angeles. Two songs recorded during the Can't Buy a Thrill sessions were
left off the album and released as a single: "Dallas" b/w "Sail the
Waterway". This is the only Steely Dan album to include David Palmer as a
lead vocalist, having been recruited after Donald Fagen expressed
concerns over singing live. Drummer Jim Hodder contributes lead vocals
on one song, "Midnite Cruiser" (sometimes spelled "Midnight Cruiser");
he also sang "Dallas". By the time recording of the next album began,
the band and producer Gary Katz had convinced Fagen to assume the full
lead vocalist role.
According to writers Marjorie Galen and Gordon
Matthews, Can't Buy a Thrill features an upbeat soft rock style. Music
journalist Paul Lester said it incorporates mambo, swing, jazz, and
Latin musical elements. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that
"there are very few of the jazz flourishes that came to distinguish
their [later] albums", but added that the first single from the album,
"Do It Again", incorporates a tight Latin jazz beat, while the second
single, "Reelin' In the Years", features jazzy guitar solos and
harmonies. Robert Christgau described "Do It Again" as a toned-down
mambo song with "tragic" lyrics about a "compulsive" loser.
"Fire in
the Hole", which features "angry, strident piano" by Fagen, takes its
title from a phrase used by American soldiers in Vietnam, and alludes to
the many students who evaded the draft in the late 1960s and early
1970s (Becker and Fagen included).
