hey it's wikipedia, but on donald fagen's page, under discography, it lists
a forthcoming solo disc:

1982 The Nightfly
1993 Kamakiriad
2006 Morph the Cat
2010 untitled fourth solo album

any truth to this?

NEW YORK (Reuters) � Donald Fagen, one-half the hit-writing duo behind
rock perfectionists Steely Dan, says he will release his fourth solo
record in 2011 with an album largely recorded on computers away from
conventional studios.

Fagen, who with Walter Becker wrote the seminal 1970s hits "Reeling' in
the Years" and "Do It Again" told Reuters he is recording in New York at
the home of Steely Dan trumpet player Michael Leonhart, who is co-
producing the album.

Fagen, 62, was prolific in the 1970s with Steely Dan, which was named
after a sex toy featured in William Burroughs' book "Naked Lunch." But
solo, his critically-acclaimed output has been roughly one album per
decade -- "The Nightfly" in 1982, "Kamakiriad" in 1993 and "Morph The
Cat" in 2006.

"Those albums were a trilogy," Fagen said, noting his first solo record
was themed around the 1950s, the second about the current day and his
third was futuristic.

"This one does not have a theme but they are good stories -- most of my
songs have a plot," he said. "The album, or CD, or whatever they call it
these days should be out next year."

Fagen said the as-yet untitled album is being recorded on computer using
Pro Tools software. Some overdubs have been done at New York's
Stratosphere Sound studio. He said the album will be released by Warner
Bros Records as the final obligation under his contract with the
recording giant.

his wikipedia page now lists the title as SOULFUL INSTINCT, but i can't
find any sources to corroborate that.

this from last july:

"Sear Sound has been a beehive for several highly intriguing projects this
summer. Highlight sessions include:

NYC denizen Donald Fagen tracked in Studio A on the 8038 Neve with Michael
Leonhart producing and Charlie Martinez engineering for Warner Bros.
Records."

we should get a new record from fagen some time in 2012.
