Peg (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Peg" is a song by rock group Steely Dan, which was released as a single from their 1977 album Aja.

The guitar solo on the track was attempted by seven top session guitarists before Jay Graydon's version became the 'keeper'. Rick Marotta played drums on the track; and the distinctive whistling sound in the intro is Tom Scott playing the lyricon, a type of electronic wind instrument.

The song itself, describes a young female celebrity, trying to get back on track and trying to get whatever she needs to "Come back to her".

Michael McDonald can be heard providing backup vocals in the choruses; keyboardist Paul Griffin can also be heard improvising background vocals in the final chorus and fadeout.
