Departing from the Steve Miller Band after a two-album stint, Boz Scaggs found himself on his own but not without support. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, his friend, helped him sign with Atlantic Records and the label had him set up shop in Muscle Shoals, recording his debut album with that legendary set of studio musicians, known for their down-and-dirty backing work for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, among many other Southern soul legends.

Featuring his would-be-soulman sound, Slow Dancer finds Boz Scaggs straddling the apparently fine line between Van Morrison and Isaac Hayes. While Silk Degrees is often touted as Scaggs’ best ’70s album — based largely upon the chart success of “Lowdown” — Slow Dancer features just as many catchy melodic tunes that meld a kind of boogie pub rock with an organic urban soul.

On his fourth album My Time, Boz Scaggs’ pop side truly begins to surface in earnest — or, rather, he begins to channel his smooth soul into a pop package, pushing the funky workouts that dominated the previous Boz & Band toward the background and putting emphasis directly on the song.

With 1974’s Slow Dancer, produced by Johnny Bristol, Scaggs recast himself as a more R&B-infused singer. 1976’s multi-million-selling Silk Degrees found Scaggs’ switch paying off commercially, displaying enough skills and chops that the odious “blue-eyed soul” tag was deemed passé. This is noticeably more detached than Silk Degrees. And although this set is indeed quirky, the often unsurprising production featuring almost-on-cue guitar solos makes this album more “mainstream” than it had to be.

1980’s Middle Man was Boz Scaggs’ last album for Columbia before an eight-year self-imposed sabbatical. Scaggs nonetheless caps off the decade with equal nods to his ’70s hitmaking formulas and the newer, shinier production techniques of the coming decade.

Out of the Blues is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs. The album, a mixture of vintage classics and four original compositions by close friend Jack “Applejack” Walroth, is the last in a trilogy that began with 2013’s Memphis and continued with 2015’s A Fool to Care.

Boz Scaggs considers Out of the Blues to be the final installment in a (primarily covers) trilogy that began with 2013’s Memphis and continued with 2015’s A Fool to Care, excellent outings that reflected Scaggs’ desire to reach back into the cradle of inspiration. This set looks back to his 1965 debut album Boz (a solo acoustic covers set released only in Sweden by Polydor) and 1997’s criminally overlooked Come on Home, a woolly, house-rocking collection of (mostly) vintage R&B and soul-blues covers, for its foundation.

In his liner notes to the double-disc, two-and-a-half-hour Boz Scaggs compilation My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997), Ben Fong-Torres writes, “There are those who, charting Boz’s career, identify specific phases: rock and roll with [Steve] Miller; the early solo albums, which were as much country and blues, and pop and jazz, as they were rock; the Slow Dancer/Silk Degrees stage, of Boz as sweet soul singer; the nearly decade-long retrenchment and semi-retirement, and the return to rootsy blues and R&B in Some Change and Come On Home.” Fong-Torres goes on to say that this is not an incorrect way to describe Scaggs’ career, but that there is more unity than it would imply: “in every phase of his career, he has remained faithful to his musical instincts.” Continue reading “Boz Scaggs – My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology (1969-1997) [1997]”

Both artistically and commercially, Boz Scaggs had his greatest success with Silk Degrees. The laid-back singer hit the R&B charts in a big way with the addictive, sly “Lowdown” (which has been sampled by more than a few rappers and remains a favorite among baby-boomer soul fans) and expressed his love of smooth soul Continue reading “Boz Scaggs – Silk Degrees (1976) {1990, MFSL, Remastered}”
