Customer Review: What is it about aging pop singers that so many of them decide to take a shot at singing the "standards"? And who decided that these songs merit that lofty designation?
I've been a Boz Scaggs fan from the beginning and figure that I own at least ninety percent of the albums he has recorded.... more info
Customer Review: When initially released in 1980, the album marked a culmination of seven solo releases by Boz Scaggs in the 1970s to 1980 and his virtual disappearance from the music scene until 1988. To say it was a puzzling compilation back in the day is an understatement, since Scaggs was having great chart... more info
Customer Review: 1976 was an epic year for great albums - Eagles' 'Hotel California', Jackson Browne's 'Pretender' and J.D. Souther's 'Black Rose' to name just three - and 'Silk Degrees' is right up there with the greats. Commercially, 'Silk Degrees' was a slow starter, looking like it might sell 200-300,000... more info
Customer Review: Although I am a Boz Scaggs fan - I was surprised to find this set of CDs to be a disappointment. As many artists will, Boz takes a new direction with most of the songs in these performances. His interpretations are well outside the bounds what what I had expected. Unfortunately I don't think these... more info
Customer Review: ....with an after dinner brandy & a cigarette is what I call this one (LOL) Always loved Boz from back in the day, so when I ran across this, I didn't hesitate buying it. Mr. Scaggs voice is soothing against soothing music. Makes for perfect background sound no matter what you're doing.
Customer Review: As noted by other reviewers, the CD is an after-the-fact remix. It's reasonably faithful to the music, but it lacks the transcendent, diaphanous reverie of the original vinyl mix. This tracks are 5-plus, but the mix brings it down to a four...plus. Trivia note: Background vocals by three sweet... more info
Customer Review: The first disc is great. It would have been better with more songs from the first "Boz Scaggs" album w/ Dwayne Allman. Way too much disco/funk on the second disc. There's alot of tasteful stuff he recorded that is not included in this set. Where's "Freedom for the Stallion", "Make My Life Shine"?... more info
Customer Review: My review title? I'd thought this was released AFTER "Dig" and "But Beautiful" -- now, I realize this CD is the "missing link" -- Boz is making the transition here to cool, genre-busting (iTunes classifies him as "jazz"), seductive hipster. The "old" Boz is here (in Dolby 5.1 and in full color,... more info
Customer Review: I am a huge fan of Mr. Scaggs and I own just about every release he has put out. (The Japanese imports are wonderful).
This album is pure, upbeat blues and it is happening.
Buy this disc for your morning ride to work to get you moving, and get the album, "Fade into Light" for the evening... more info
