Boz Skagg's soul/groove greatness

[urizen]

I'm always impressed by the stuff that he can do like this, reminding us of what taste he has and what a great guitar player he is. And I'm always depressed at how I keep screwing up when I try to get a direct Youtube link attached, so all I can offer is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTvjFhJVc5Y

(and, like Cooder's Bop Til You Drop that whole album killed, as did Skagg's later Dig )---it's so too bad his Q rating w/ the gen-pub is based on stuff like Lido Shuffle)

What's wrong with Lido shuffle?

I recently went back into the Boz Scaggs catalog, and man does he have some great music. Yeah, a couple big hits decades ago, but so much more to dig into.

boz is the man, here's a great one:

 

[ando]

hey urizen, which disc is your youtube post 'it all went down the drain' from?

 

[bobmc]

ando

"Come On Home"

 

[kwaves99]

Unlike Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney who released albums of jazz standards and IMHO butchered them (especially McCartney) Scaggs' two discs of jazz standards are sublime.

There is a DVD from 2004 called "Boz Skaggs Live, Greatest Hits"

Great band, performance and recording. If a fan, a must have......

here is a taste

 

[weshunter]

is he playing through a hot rod deluxe?

 

[Tahitijack]

Two words say it all..........Silk Degrees.

From start to finish there are no bad tracks. Played the hell out of that albumn at parties way back in the day.

 

[Honeyboy]

Yes a gigantic fan of Boz Scaggs. That Come Home album got me psyched about the blues again. I still play 2 songs off that disc in my band and on my live album.

 

[Blues Lyne]

I always like this one from Slow Dancer

 

[Fretzel]

Never heard Boz's version. This is Aaron Nevilles cover of it a year before. Both cool.

 

[Blues Lyne]

Yep Aaron's is great also. I think I first heard the song from Aaron. Hard to beat the Nevilles.
