Customer Reviews
If the early stuff sounds dated, just stick it in the car, crank up the volume and you'll be pleasantly surprised - the miles will just flow by. Sound engineering gets full marks as well.. Excellent value, classy musicians, fine songs, great voice.
All his albums are adequately represented in this collection, although 'Silk Degrees' is particularly emphasised, with over half of the album included. This is justified, given the quality of the material, including the often-covered ballad 'We're all alone' and the jazzy, laid-back 'Harbor lights'. The follow-up albums, which like 'Silk Degrees' feature the superb rhythm section of Toto, are less well represented, but some of their best tracks are included, although there are a couple of surprising omissions - such as the ballad 'You can have me anytime', with its memorable guitar solo by Carlos Santana, and the Motown-styled 'Hollywood'.
There are also a number of interesting tracks from the last two decades, when Boz has kept a relatively low profile but has still made occasional albums, all to his usual high standard. This is an excellent album, without a dud track on it, and I would not wish to pick out favorites as the standard throughout is so high. With crystal clear remastered sound, a total of 33 songs (not the incorrect list given above) giving a total length over 2.5 hours, an attractively designed booklet with an essay and full details of all tracks and musicians, this is an excellent overview of Boz's career. It should also persuade many listeners to obtain some of his other albums, some of which are now also available in remastered form.
Boz was and is a master of this genre, and most of today's young male singers with soulful pretensions should listen to this to find how it should really be done.
Special mention should be made of "Loan Me A Dime", a 13-minute jazz-blues epic which completes Disc 1 and stars the great Duane Allman on lead guitar.
