Product Description

CD Description

Although Boz Scaggs first found success as the lead singer on the early albums by the Steve Miller Band, his solo career quickly moved away from the psychedelic haze of those records. Although Scaggs's easygoing, slightly gritty vocals remained rooted in Chicago-style blues-rock, his albums became increasingly pop-friendly (and, consequently, better selling). By the end of the 1970s, the San Francisco native was a bona fide California soft-rock superstar, his success culminating in the adult-contemporary hit "Look What You've Done toMe", the love theme from the 1980 film URBAN COWBOY. As thecomprehensive and career-spanning retrospective MY TIME makes clear, however, Scaggs had more in common with Steely Danthan the Eagles; blues and jazz remained at the root of hismusic even at the slick heights of "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown" from his classic, Toto-backed SILK DEGREES album. Laterin his career, Scaggs returned to that fountainhead for rootsier outings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain collection of classy soul and R&B, 31 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Boz Scaggs may be remembered most in Britain for the disco / R&B styled hits 'Lowdown', 'What can I say' and 'Lido shuffle' in 1977, but there was far more to the man, as this excellent and comprehensive collection amply demonstrates. Boz was certainly not jumping on a disco bandwagon, as he had already spent a number of years honing his skills as an R&B/soul singer and band leader, resulting in several creditable albums leading up to his well deserved commercial breakthrough with the 'Silk Degrees' album from which came the above mentioned hits.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute class, 26 May 2005
By A Customer
When I first received this, I was taken aback by the incorrect track listing which shows the full track listing of the 1972 "My Time". Since that happened to be one of my favourite early BS vinyl albums, I'd been looking forward to hear the likes of 'Full Lock Powerslide' again.. Wrong. My initial reaction was to send it back, but then I put it on and started listening... Two and a half hours later I was left realising that it simply should have been a triple album. Some of that early material really warrants re-issue, but at least you get the full length of Loan me a Dime. Having lost track of him over later years, the second CD was a revelation - once you get to Sierra you're seriously hooked, but then it carries on getting still better.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific!, 17 May 2006
By Friendlycard (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This excellent 2-CD compilation showcases Boz Scaggs' career from the beginning in 1969 to 'Some Change', and is a really good (and good-value) addition to any collection. Though the 'Silk Degrees' material is best-known, there's a tremendous versatility and range here.

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.
