Inside MusiCast 'Pick Of The Day': “Walk Between The Raindrops", by Donald Fagen. Selected by Don Breithaupt.

The last track on an album can be a thematic conclusion, an afterthought, an extended jam. The Nightfly's final song is a perfectly wrought miniature whose distinctive, automated swing — courtesy of David Letterman's rhythm section (Steve Jordan and Will Lee) and a relentless offbeat synth blip — is the backdrop for the album's most overtly retro track.

Highlight: Fagen's tasty organ solo.
