Poem: Back Before Everyone Was On Their Phone Every Fucking Five Minutes

I grew up with a spa pool behind a Ponga fence, the latest album by Huey Lewis and The News and the remnants of when my dad was a master of Macramé. That’s never far from my mind as I make it through this world – Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan and Lionel Richie and […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 745

Boz Scaggs, Boz Scaggs (1969) I like Boz Scaggs. But to qualify/clarify it: I loved his most recent album, a real return to this dazzling, lovely early form and apart from that I really only like one or two things. The MOR stuff when he sold heaps…well there’s one or two okay-songs there but it’s […]

The Best Guitarist in The World: # 7 – Duane Allman

Boz Scaggs: A Fool To Care

Boz Scaggs A Fool To Care 429 Records It would be easy to dismiss Boz Scaggs – the people that have done that have drawn a line, decided not to listen. It’s easy to think of something like Silk Degrees, and to hold its phenomenal success against the talented musician that never expected runaway success […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1018

Boz Scaggs, Hits! (1980) I almost never feel the urge or need to listen to Toto but when I do I’ll listen to some Boz Scaggs. This compilation might only cover a small amount of what he’s done – it might be all you need to know, or two much for you – but I […]
