Boz still has it
Happy to hear him in fine voice and the songs are fresh, yet consistent with his signature pieces from decades ago. A lovely renewal of the unique Boz Scaggs sound. Definitely in heavy rotation. Sound quality is excellent as well.


Sothing and sexy...
Some of the Boz's finest. Put this CD on, kick back with a glass of wine and a friend and chill.


The Boz Man
I really enjoyed it. This is an excellent cd and dvd. I love "Some Things Happen", Harbor Lights, Sierra and Simone. You won't go wrong with this cd/dvd.


Not great!
I much prefer his two "standard" albums and purchased this one only for the "Low Down" unplugged version.


Time-warped hipster


The "old" Boz is here (in Dolby 5. 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. 1 and in full color, on the DVD side) -- still hitting the high notes in "Lost It," and bringing the same feel to his classics ("We're All Alone"), but his unplugged "Lowdown" really allows one to hear the scolding tone (3 decades of mumbling along with the song, I now understand the lyrics!). The samba tempo for "Simone" (formerly almost disco) gives the song a more classic, mature sound -- I can imagine even those from the Big Band era being able to dance to this. Boz seems to be aiming for, and accomplishing, transcendence. "For mature audiences only?" Perhaps -- it takes age to develop the wistfulness of looking back.

Cutting to the chase: Boz has still got it. Get it.
(NOTE: a 2-point-type warning on the back cover warns that "This disc may not play on some CD and DVD players," and I found this to be true. ).
