SILK DEGREES - Boz Scaggs, the lanky Texan neo-soul crooner and under-rated guitar warrior, was a Steve Miller Band alumnus who jumped ship to probe silky R & B instead of gritty blues, the Miller Band’s menu, and each of his early seventies solo albums polished with a mix towards this triumphant genius. SILK DEGREES, the mid-seventies release, particularly best known track LOW DOWN which can’t help but risk museum piece status if only for its ubiquity on the radio. Yet, Scaggs lyric intelligence and skin tight playing of a studio band built around what would soon become TOTO makes this a modern classic, as note worthy for its ballads WE’RE ALL ALONE, HARBOR LIGHTS, as for its workouts GEORGIA, LIDO SHUFFLE, and a typical smart cover choice in a great version of Allen Toussaint’s WHAT DO YOU WANT THE GIRL TO DO?

Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs was not only one of the finest examples of crossover soul, pop and rock ever recorded, but it was also one of the biggest albums of the seventies and included some of the finest grooves ever played by Boz Scaggs, which netted him a Grammy for his mega number one hit Lowdown.

Other major hit singles included Lido Shuffle, Georgia, What Can I Say and It’s Over. Other artists like Rita Coolidge and Frankie Valli covered songs from this watershed album and had major hits themselves, which further illustrates the importance and influence of this highly loved and regarded masterwork.

Featuring his friends like Fred Tackett (Little Feat), Les Dudek, and of course the future hit makers Toto as his backing band for most of this fine album, Boz Scaggs’ Silk Degrees still rocks with all of us and is a crowd pleaser to this day!

BOZ SCAGGS MEMPHIS 180 GRAM LIMITED 1ST EDITION LP

180g Vinyl Mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound and Pressed at United Record Pressing- Nashville!
Scaggs' First Album Of Original Material In Five Years!

New From The Hitmaker of "Silk Degrees"! Featuring the Single "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl"!

Grammy-Award winning rock legend Boz Scaggs showcases both original songs and choice covers on the album Memphis. The album was produced by Steve Jordan (John Mayer) and was recorded at Willie Mitchell's legendary Royal Studio in Memphis, where the late Mitchell recorded Al Green and other Hi Records artists. Joining Scaggs on Memphis are Willie Weeks (bass), Ray Parker Jr. (guitars), Spooner Oldham (keyboards), the Memphis Horns, Lester Snell (string arrangements) and Steve Jordan (drums).

William Royce Boz Scaggs began a long and storied career in 1965 with the release of his first solo recording Boz. Scaggs quickly developed into an iconic singer songwriter cutting his teeth playing with Steve Miller on several highly successful projects and honing his rock and R&B chops working with the likes of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Duane Allman. Scaggs hit it big in 1976 achieving multi-platinum success with Silk Degrees and its follow-ups. Scaggs continued on a lauded and multi-genre musical journey with successes in film soundtracks.

"...Memphis, his first album of new studio material in five years... Between touring and his work with Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald in the Dukes of September in recent years, Scaggs hasn't had much time in the studio, hence the gap between albums. Thankfully, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter found his new album, Memphis, to be perhaps the most natural collection of his four-decade plus career...

"..."Mixed Up Shook Up Girl", premiered here, finds Scaggs' deep, soulful vocals highlighted by a soft beat that brings to mind another soul icon, the Drifters. Originally recorded by Willy Deville in 1977, "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl" is one of those tracks Scaggs had wanted to do for some time." - Steve Baltin, rollingstone January 14, 2013

BOZ SCAGGS SOME CHANGE 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION LP

180g Audiophile Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso From Original Virgin Records Tapes!

Some Change was Boz Scaggs’ amazing debut for Virgin Records which would also begin a long-term hit making association with the label. It also was his return to the album charts with his first release since 1988’s Other Roads. This 1994 Boz Scaggs/Ricky Fataar (Beach Boys/Bonnie Raitt) produced gem was a hip revisit to the critically acclaimed southern blues affair sound of his first album Boz Scaggs (FRMLP9003). There was now a more organic roots sound, while still retaining all the polish and funk of a Silk Degrees (FRMLP3392), thanks to a solid round of album airplay at both rock, pop, and adult radio stations.

Leading off with the Texan style rocker You Got My Letter, a real crowd pleaser filled not only with his much welcomed back voice but also his legendary lead guitar work. This would be one of the definitive tunes that would surely reignite radio and retail’s appreciation of this superstar performer.

Boz Scaggs fans would hear this and more single and album tracks throughout the year, as this stellar album received generous airplay on all the popular rock and adult rock and pop formats. The blues belter title track Some Change was a very popular go to song for the adult alternative stations as was the follow up single Fly Like A Bird, a crowd pleaser filled with all the New Orleans/Mississippi blues imagery you could imagine, showcasing Scaggs’ soulful voice and a zydeco accordion paired into a wonderful tune for the fans.

Not a stranger to soul and ballad idioms, the sounds and elements he used on albums like the multi-platinum smash Silk Degrees, the Some Change album goes on to capture all of these ingredients with artistic ventures like the uptown groover Call Me as well as his stunning ballads Sierra and Lost It. Both of these magical tracks signify the way he can write a song, giving it an unequaled style and performance, while also creating five minute masterpieces with a sense of second nature delivery.

As a fourth installment in Friday Music's exciting Boz Scaggs 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Series, his masterwork Some Change is released as a first time audiophile vinyl album. Mastered impeccably from the original Virgin Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA, Some Change is an audiophile dream release for Boz Scaggs fans everywhere!

Greatest Hits Live THREE LP'S 180 Gram Vinyl LP LIMITED EDITION SET - This baby is a sleeper gem. I didn't know it existed until I was scrolling through the Boz Scaggs vinyls and came across it. I heard Boz in concert in Mpls and he was wonderful. Never knew he was a blues guitarist. Just thought of him as the hit-maker who made Lowdown. The price of the album would be worth it if the only song on the album was Spare Me a Dime. Other than the concert I saw him play in, I'd never heard this song before and it is sooo good. His guitar playing is amazing. The rest of the album is wonderful as well. Boz is one of those few artists who sounds better live than in the studio--which is an enormous complement since everything is stacked against the live musician getting it totally right--from the recording, mixing, and equipment to the band and backup singers getting it just right. Well, everyone got it right on this album--it is great!

Boz Scaggs A Fool to Care LIMITED 1ST EDITION LP

Vinyl LP Mastered by Bernie Grundman! Features Duets with Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams!

Boz Scaggs follows up the chart topping and critically acclaimed, “Memphis,” (his highest charting record since the legendary Silk Degrees), with ‘A Fool To Care." Produced By Steve Jordan, the album boasts several new Boz originals, as well as a diverse range of R&B/Soul treasures. "A Fool to Care" features duets with guest artists Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams.

The Grammy-winning rock icon Boz Scaggs blends rock, soul, jazz and R&B for this album of new material. Bonnie Raitt plays slide guitar and sings vocals on Hell To Pay while Lucinda Williams provides duet vocals with Scaggs on Whispering Pines.

A Fool To Care showcases the patchwork of influences and innovations that make up a Boz Scaggs album…and sees Scaggs letting loose and having some fun. You can hear that sense of fun, as well as his ability and willingness to wander in any musical direction throughout these twelve tracks. The inspirational heart of the album lies in the sounds of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma that played such a vital role in shaping Scaggs' musical sensibility, but they venture forth boldly from there. Scaggs brings a sly drawl to a funky workout like Li'l Millet and the Creoles' "Rich Woman" and an elegant delicacy to the Impressions' "I'm So Proud." He easily negotiates the Latin flavoring of "Last Tango on 16th Street" and "I Want to See You," both written by San Francisco bluesman (and longtime Scaggs compatriot) Jack Walroth. Horns, strings, soulful background vocalists and guests like guitarist Reggie Young and steel guitarist Paul Franklin lift the album into the stratosphere.

The core band joining Boz on A Fool To Care is Willie Weeks (bass), Ray Parker Jr. (guitars), Jim Cox (keyboard), and Steve Jordan (drums).

Features:
• Vinyl LP

• Includes digital download card

Boz Scaggs Hits 180 GRAM LP LIMITED EDITION ON (Clear Vinyl)

180g Audiophile Clear Vinyl LP! Anniversary Edition!
Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso & Pressed at RTI!

After paying his dues for years with stellar blues and rock album classics, Columbia Records awarded their superstar Boz Scaggs with his first greatest hits collection simply titled "Hits."

With an amazing decade of huge number of hit singles & top charting albums to his credit, Boz Scaggs was a master at making some of the coolest and more memorable songs of the seventies and beyond.

The ten song platinum plus album consisted of his biggest chart pop singles like the Grammy Award winner Lowdown, as well as smashes Lido Shuffle, Look What You've Done To Me, Miss Sun, We're All Alone and Jojo.

In an effort to continually offer consummate music lovers with the greatest rock recordings of all time, Friday Music proudly presents for the ?rst time ever on 180 Gram Audiophile CLEAR Vinyl, the Anniversary Edition of Hits by Boz Scaggs.

Impeccably mastered by Joe Reagoso (Boz Scaggs, Elvis Presley, Yes) at Friday Music Studios and Capitol Mastering and pressed at R.T.I.

In addition to the brilliant rock and roll classics contained on this stunning release, to celebrate this limited edition album, we are also including a gatefold cover which features the original artwork and lyrics from the 1980 platinum smash release!

Features:
• 180g Audiophile Clear Vinyl
• Anniversary Edition
• Mastered by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios 
• Pressed at RTI
• Gatefold Jacket

Selections:
Side A:
1. Lowdown
2. You Make It So Hard To Say No
3. Miss Sun
4. Lido Shuffle
5. We’re All Alone

Side B:
1. Breakdown Dead Ahead
2. Look What You’ve Done To Me (from the film “Urban Cowboy”)
3. Jojo
4. Dinah Flo
5. You Can Have Me Anytime

  

BONUS HITS CD - Digitally remastered and expanded reissue of this classic compilation by the '70s solo star (and former bandmate of Steve Miller) , complete with new artwork! This new version drops 'You Can Have Me Anytime' but adds six more to take it's place: 'What Can I Say', 'Hard Times', 'Slow Dancer', 'Harbor Lights', 'It's Over' and 'Heart Of Mine'

This title was originally issued in 1980 as a 10-track LP, and reissued verbatim on CD in 1990. The album's intent was to provide a hits-oriented overview of Scaggs' 1970s solo work, focusing on the years surrounding his 1976 multi-platinum breakthrough LP, "Silk Degrees." This reworking of the "Hits!" title expands upon the original theme with six additional tracks gathered from late '70s releases, and drops the song "You Can Have Me Anytime."

As with the original ten-track release, this fifteen-track reissue picks up Scaggs' story in 1972 with the Muscle Shoals styled "Dinah Flo" and 1974's Motown influenced "You Make it So Hard (to Say No)." The expanded track lineup adds the string-lined title ballad of 1974's "Slow Dancer," which helps show that the transition from 1974 to 1976 was more evolution than reinvention. U.S. radio listeners will remember the disco-tinged soul and jazz of 1976's "Silk Degrees" LP as a key part of the bicentennial soundtrack. The original "Hits!" lineup of "We're All Alone," "Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle" is augmented here with "What Can I Say," "It's Over," and "Harbor Lights." And with 60% of the original album now included here, listeners may start to think (quite correctly) that "Silk Degrees" is a greatest-hits package in and of itself.

Scaggs' follow-up LP, "Down Two Then Left" was enough of a commercial disappointment to have been ignored on the original "Hits!" release; here it's represented by the soulful "Hard Times." The collection is filled out with a healthy dose of Scaggs' decade-end work, including "Jo Jo" and "Breakdown Dead Ahead" from his 1980 release "Middle Man," and his contribution to the "Urban Cowboy" soundtrack, "Look What You've Done to Me." The remaining new addition to the original track lineup is "Heart of Mine," taken from Scaggs' 1988 return to recording, "Other Roads."

At 64-minutes this is a generous single disc.
