Or to put it another way Sara Isaksson and Rebecka Törnqvist. They are two Swedish singers who released a CD of Steely Dan covers; ‘Fire In The Hole - Sing Steely Dan’.
Rebecka Törnqvist and Sara Isaksson both released their debut solo albums in the early/mid-90’s and have worked together as part of the group Gloria.
Sara has two albums to her name as well as collaborations with Swedish pianist Anders Widmark, while Rebecka has released seven albums.
About the album ‘Fire In The Hole - Sing Steely Dan’ the record company information quotes the two ladies saying: “We’ve recorded 12 songs by the American duo, mainly using just piano and vocals. As a contrast to the originals we wanted it as simple as possible to focus on the songs fantastic stories and melodies.”
I just recently stumbled upon the record, various websites have it as being released in 2006 and some show it as 2012.
Maybe the 2012 is a re-release? Maybe it has just been released in the USA? Either way I'm glad I found the album.
These young ladies have beautiful harmonies.
I'd like to kick this of with a song that is not on the album, but maybe they could make a new album covering Paul Simon. This is one beautiful rendition.

Here are a couple of the beautiful renditions of Steely Dan classics, they add a whole new view of the Steely Dan songwriting.

You have to like the humor of this album cover.
And finally today, although there is no video per se this is such an amazing version of Gaucho I had to include it.
