Does anyone else just love Boz Scaggs?

I was listening to Silk Degrees last night...the entire disc is one that I can listen to over and over...I think it was an R and B masterpiece...I love his voice and love the arrangements in it..his lyrics are corny but sometimes that makes the music stand out all the more.

Always got me in a party mood! Wow, what was that, about 6 or 7 years ago? :)

yes..SILK DEGREES (1976). I danced the night away to LOWDOWN--and swayed to LOVE ME TOMORROW--Excellent!!

I bought But Beautiful a month or two ago and it's so much better than that shit that Rod Stewart's been pushing lately. Boz's voice is much more suited for it.

And don't forget his work with Steve Miller Band.

Boz is a legend.

and saw that...I've seen him live several times but most recently a few years back with Stevie Nicks at the Universal Amphitheater in LA..he was stellar that night and his voice ranges from soulful to downright angelic..even live he doesn't miss a note. He's actually a damn good guitar player too...he can do a lot more with rhythm than some can with lead.

.

Never thought I'd fall again so easily...

out record back in the early 80's. Best part of that whole darned workout.

and he's a really nice guy, too. ;)

(ps...not a homewrecker... he was separated when I met him)

Musically, I have long considered him to be one of the most under-rated musicians and songwriters. His work is simple yet incredibly tender and moving. That adds up to genius in my book.

(oh and on the other thing...TRAMP! :evilgrin: )

.

I still like his stuff along with 70's and 80's Steely Dan, Doobies and a few others.

in him.

as another poster pointed out...he is really underrated and not given his due

I still get taken back to age seven when I hear "Lowdown".

:) but glad you had such great taste at 7

I think '76 is when that song came out, right? Another song of that nature that brings up great memories is "Baker Street". You just don't hear songs like that anymore. Now it's all poppunk shite with identical bratty-sounding vocalists.

Age is all in how you feel, remember. :)

I love "We're all alone" and "Georgia".

but after it went off the air I could listen to it again without imagining the show

i forget what he sounds like but I bet I would remember as soon as I heard him again.

brb

it will have to be a PM though, its embarrasing(legal), speaking of "online tunes". ***sigh*** :eyes:

Lido missed the boat
That day he left the shack
But that was all he missed
He ain't comin' back

At a tombstone bar
In a juke-joint car he made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top
Next stop Chi'town
Lido put the money down
Let her roll
He say, "one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it"

One for the road

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh....
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh....
He said, "one more job oughta get it"
"One last shot, we quit it"
"One more for the road"

Lido be runnin',
Havin' great big fun 'til he got the note
Sayin' "toe the line or blow it"
And that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline,
Headin' for the borderline, goin' for broke
Sayin, "one more hit oughta do it"
"This joint, ain't nothin' to it"
"One more for the road"

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh....
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh....
"one more job oughta get it"
"One last shot, and we quit it"
"One more for the road"



Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh....
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a-waitin' for another go
Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh....

Singing along with Boz is cool. Silk Degrees, Slow Dancer, Best of..
etc.
