Haunting title song
" Never has Scaggs sang with such a malancholy longing in his voice. The best piece on this fabulous album is the title song, "My Time. I owned a tape of the album when I was merely a teenager. It never left me. It actually helped form my love for lyricism in music.


"My Time" is your time
No wasted songs here. His best "complete" album. It's beauty has been sustained throughout the years. I still listen to it frequently.


Japan Comes Through Once Again
Granted, it was unavailable for quite a long time but then Japan came through once again with a remastered reissue. Have old-time Boz Scaggs fans forgotten this album and just how good it is? I did. I had this on 8-track years ago, then on cassette but hadn't thought about in for a while until I saw it while perusing the Boz Scaggs listings here. I ordered it from an amazon partner at a good price and it arrived within days.
Man, how this brings back memories! This is much better than the few songs from this CD that are on his greatest hits compilation. In retrospect, My Time is one of the best Boz Scaggs albums. I put it up there close to Moments as a must-own for Scaggs fans. It has rock, it has some of his trademark romantic balladry, and oh, it is just loaded with soul. Unfortunately, My Time and its predecessors were overshadowed by the huge commercial success of Silk Degrees which many people falsely think is his first album.
My favorites are Dinah Flo, Might Have To Cry, Freedom For the Stallion, and the tasty title cut. Though the CD offers no bonus cuts, it does come with a booklet of lyrics in English and in Japanese.
The Japanese must really like the music of Boz Scaggs as they have come through with reissues of his other out-of-print CDs. If you are a Boz Scaggs fan, you need to own this while its still available. If you are a fan who has never heard My Time, get yourself a copy, it will blow you away.


Class act
Not as 'simple' as some of his later material, these tracks deserve a couple of hearings. Boz Scaggs rock/soul/ballad mixture has something for everyone and not a weakness in sight. Well written songs (Amazon should give song writing credits when it lists tracks) played by high class musicians. You can tell they enjoyed making the album, . . . reward yourself.


Finally!!!!
It,s one of my all-time favorite albums and I can't believe my search is over!. I've been searching for this cd ever since they were conceived.
