"Katy Lied" is the fourth album by Steely Dan, released in 1975. It went gold and peaked at #13 on the US charts. The single "Black Friday" also charted at #37. Band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were not happy with the album's sound quality due to an equipment malfunction with the dbx noise reduction system. They refused to listen to the completed album. However, to most audiophiles and fans of the group it is difficult if not impossible to hear the alleged sound imperfections. It is now considered one of Becker and Fagen's most important records both musically and technologically.Fact|date=November 2007 This is also noted as the first appearance of Michael McDonald on a Steely Dan album. The album cover features a picture of a katydid, a type of cricket. This is most likely a pun on the album's title. Jeff Porcaro, then only 19 years old, played all drums on the album apart from "Any World (That I'm Welcome To)", which features legendary session drummer Hal Blaine.
