Morph the Cat is the third solo album by Donald Fagen. A rumination on old age and death, the album has the same sharp lyrics, tight playing, and meticulous production for which Fagen is known. Musicians on the album include drummer Keith Carlock, saxophonist Walt Weiskopf, bassist Freddie Washington, and guitarists Frank Vignola, Jon Herington, Wayne Krantz, and Hugh McCracken.
Morph the Cat was released on CD and on a CD/DVD-Audio 2-disc package, with a 5.1 surround sound mix engineered by Elliot Scheiner. The surround recording won the Grammy Award for Best Surround Sound Album.
All songs written by Donald Fagen except where indicated.
