two years ago i had a really rewarding experience just listening to "we're all alone" on repeat and trying to pull together a piece about it. no idea how i feel about that piece at this point but it was about three days of deep, meditative, mentally engaging work that of course i wouldn't have experienced without the stark landscape of that song

should mention that the penultimate revelation in that piece about boz missing from the back cover art is indebted and deployed similarly to how aero described it in a video from a few years ago, which convinced me to buy the record

that's a terrific read, Brad.

it's good, not as good as Fade Into Light though which had some utterly breathtaking classics on it

my older son wanted me to play my LP of Other Roads, which I didn't remember as being too terrific, but wow -- really solid. wasn't ready for it when I bought it back around '98/'99. first song has a Jim Carrol cowrite credit, but it's the third song's credits that gave me a big smile: a Bobby Caldwell cowrite!

I've never heard anyone say that about Boz Scaggs before
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 2 August 2018 14:53 (seven years ago)
apparently Boz can't lift his hands above his shoulders, though sometimes he tries

The shoulder pads in the suit he wore on the cover of Hits probably fucked him up.

one of my hobbyhorses is that his 2004-ish iirc Fade Into Light is massively underrated, esp.the title song, one of his best.

how do we feel about some change? i think it’s rather good. good tunes, diverse sounds, his voice sounds really cool. thumbs up. “sierra” has gotta be up there with the top boz ballads.
― brimstead, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 22:48 (five years ago)
Prob somewhere upthread, but I was always pretty taken with this, esp. the shift (which galvanizes but doesn't bust the vibe), when Duane Allman eventually shows up (spoiler)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGGvlTXGERA

Boz’s 2025 Rhythm Review Tour will feature one of the most comprehensive setlists ever and a super lineup of many of his favorite sidemen. On any given night they’ll be playing songs from Boz’s 1969 album from MuscleShoals that included “I’ll Be Long Gone” and “Loan Me a Dime” to a couple of pieces from a new album, “Detour.” Silk Degrees” will be well represented along with a broad scope of the signature blues, R&B, rock and roll and jazzy interludes that define Boz’s unique style.
The musicians include Willie Weeks on bass, Jon Herington on guitar, Jamison Ross on drums, Michael Logan on keyboards, Eric Crystal on reeds and everything else, and Branlie Mejías on percussion. It’s a rare section you won’t want to miss performing many highlights of a repertoire spanning the breadth and width of an amazing musical career- a swinging Rhythm Review.

Is this unusual for Scaggs?
― birdistheword, Sunday, 12 October 2025 05:57 (seven months ago)
can't speak to whether the lineup is unusual (Weeks is great), but the setlist does not actually seem that diff from what he's been doing for a while.
