Biography

After departing the London R&B scene, William "Boz" Scaggs joined his headlining schoolfriend in the Steve Miller Band in 1967. Two albums later, he left to go solo, but couldn't achieve solo success until his seventh album breakthrough.

Despite good reviews, early solo efforts like Bos Scaggs (1969), which featured Duane Allman, and Slow Dancer (1974) couldn't achieve commercial success. Suddenly… Read more in Amazon's Boz Scaggs Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain collection of classy soul and R&B, July 31, 2001
By Pete Walker (Church Stretton, Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
Boz Scaggs may be remembered most 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 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 THE BOZ'S BEST WORK ALL IN ONE PLACE, January 21, 2000
By Rocket (United States) - See all my reviews
This 2 cd set is probably the best compilation of Boz scaggs work ever. this cd contains all the hits(Harbor lights, Lowdown and Lido Shuffle)from the multiplatinum album silk degrees as well as other classics from his other albums. There are also harder to find selections such as his cover of Drowning In The Sea of love from the New York Rock & soul album as well as a version of As The Years Go Passing By with Booker T & the Mgs recorded live for the Columbia Radio Hour series.There is also 2 selections from his mini (seven-track) CD for virgin Japan Fade into the light. There is only one draw back the songs are not arranged in chronological order(the first cd starts with Runin' Blue from his third solo album and finishes with Loan Me A Dime from his first solo album)outside of that this is a really great anthology I highly recommend it....

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy's good--we need more of the old stuff, November 18, 2003
Boz Scaggs was one of those artists (like Fleetwood Mac) that is so heavily associated with the 1970s that one tends to overlook how innovative and creative they were. Their very ubiquity and vast influence undermines one's perception of their individual virtues. In 1976 or so you couldn't go anywhere without hearing songs from "Silk Degrees," and I, for one, got incredibly sick of it, and even more sick of the many copycats it spawned.

In the context of Boz Scaggs' whole career, which is thoughtfully encapsulated on this affordable two disk set, you realize that this great musical craftsman had been slowly developing the unique mix of classic R & B, romantic balladry, pop craft and contemporary dance grooves from the very beginning of his solo career; and in his unassuming way, created that 1970s "white soul" sound. The great early songs like "We Were Always Sweethearts," "Dinah Flo" and "Slow Dancer" are the foundation for what he produced on his soulful mega-hit "Silk Degrees." "Lowdown," borrows a few disco touches,
"What Can I Say" blends in the Philly soul sound, but everything is done very tastefully, humbly, and quite pleasureably. He then continued in that same vein, coming up with fresh new twists on his classic formula on albums that were big hits, as well as albums that slipped under the radar. Disk two includes a couple of songs that are ruined by 1980s production touches that seem completely at odds with his style--that tinkly, fairy-dust keyboard sound has ruined a lot of good songs. But it also includes Boz's more obscure, but very successful attempt to go back to the sound he started out with--blues, R&B, Ray Charles-like soul. There's a collaboration with Booker T and the MGs that is stunning, and the song "Some Change" is a burner.

To me, however, the most magical cuts are the ones that kick off side one, some taken from albums like "Moments," "My Time" and "Boz Scaggs and Band" that remain unavailable on CD. It would be nice to hear the whole albums, which have been unavailable for decades. For a guy who seemed so rooted in a specific time, Boz Scaggs has proven to be a timeless artist.
