Boz Scaggs (1969/1978) (#171) ***
Scaggs's self-titled debut did not received its due recognition upon its initial release, but has since become a classic among die-hard fans. A bit unfocused stylistically, the album shows Scaggs's diverse musical roots--country/western music ("Now You're Gone"), rhythm & blues ("Loan Me a Dime"), and soul ("Sweet Release"). You can even hear Boz yodel in the parlor tune "Waiting for a Train." The beautiful ballad "Finding Her" anticipated the style of Scaggs's mid-seventies classics. Scaggs's backup band, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, also appeared on Paul Simon's 1973 album There Goes Rhymin' Simon. Best song: "Loan Me a Dime."
Loan Me a Dime does it for me.
lucky dogg...she LEFT you. how'd ya do it?
