The Soul of Boz Scaggs
Opening with "Slow Dancer", orchestrated with swelling strings, he sets the tone for the aching romanticism to follow. Springing from the R & B tradition of the 70's, Thom Bell, Marvin Gaye, Gamble and Huff, and Philly Soul, Boz found a funky, sweet, soulful and highly melodic sensibility that was an early not-yet-disco precursor to Silk Degrees. Angel Lady is a "Bobby Womackesque" (a la "Across 110th Street") funky workout with horns and snapping drums and guitar. "Hercules" is a another fantastic funky workout that could have been the theme of a "blaxploitation" 70's movie. "Take It For Granted" is my favorite Boz Scaggs song. A scorchingly soul baring, articulate love poem of a vulnerable male soul. An exquisitely beautiful melody, strings and background singers make this one of the great love songs of the 1970's.

Silk Degrees made him a star, and may be a slicker more consistent album, but Slow Dancer is the soul of Boz Scaggs. .


Boz sings his freakin' heart out
TEN STARS DESERT ISLAND RECORD. Popular music just does not get any better than this masterpiece from 1974, especially on "Slow Dancer" and "There Is Someone Else," in which Boz sings his freakin' heart out.


30 years and still my favorite
This is an album for all ages who are in love or looking to share the "mood" of the music Boz Scaggs creates. I've been slow dancing to Boz for 30 years and the memories these songs created are still going strong.
