Scaggs’ first album in five years looks back on ‘70s southern soul with a dozen songs that adapt to their surroundings. Memphis, the city, is all over ‘Memphis,’ the album, steering the music’s subtle shades in this direction or that while never losing the driving force: Scaggs’ bluesy voice, which is still in top shape. Listen to the way he drops into the music on the opening ‘Gone Baby Gone’ like a soft-speaking ghost who wants to fill you in on his sad, lonely story. At times ‘Memphis’ is so wedded to its old-school design that it doesn’t really have much of a personality. Why listen to Boz Scaggs do Al Green when you can just listen to ‘Call Me’? It’s borrowed style, for sure. But Scaggs has earned the right. Next: Dukes of September Shoot PBS Special. Filed Under: Boz Scaggs.

Hits! is a compilation album by Boz Scaggs, first released in 1980. It focuses primarily on material released in 1976 and 1980. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA. Elias deemed that the later release My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology makes Hits! completely redundant. Lowdown" (Boz Scaggs, David Paich) – 4:27.

Boz Scaggs: Memphis by Doug Collette, published on March 15, 2013. Boz Scaggs made a household name for himself with the ultra-slick Silk Degrees (Columbia, 1975), but he had already established a solo career for himself in the wake of departing The Steve Miller Band in 1968. Memphis further reaffirms the selective approach the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter has brought to his career in recent years, at the same time reminding that his best work, such as his eponymous debut (Atlantic, 1969)-with its famous Duane Allman guitar solo on "Loan Me A Dime"-and Boz Scaggs & Band (Columbia, 1971) has carried an earthy quality underneath the polish.
