Gauchois the seventh studio album by the AmericanrockbandSteely Dan, released byMCA Recordson November 21, 1980. The album marked a significant stylistic shift for the band, with more focus on rhythm and atmosphere than their earlier work, and fewer harmonically complex chord progressions, but the recording sessions demonstrated the group’s typical obsessive nature and perfectionism,as they used at least 42 different musicians, spent over a year in the studio, and far exceeded the original monetary advance given by the record label.At the24th Annual Grammy Awards,GauchowonBest Engineered Recording Non-Classical, and was nominated forAlbum of the YearandBest Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
