Boz Scaggs

A swampy, soulful masterpiece recorded at Muscle Shoals. Gritty R&B meets country-rock, anchored by a legendary twelve-minute blues workout.

It's the record where Boz Scaggs went to Alabama and accidentally made one of the greatest blues-rock albums ever.

A humid, soul-drenched journey through heartbreak and redemption in the American South.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The slow-burn escalation of Duane Allman's guitar solo on 'Loan Me a Dime' which builds from a whisper to a scream.

The sudden, swampy horn blast that kicks off the opening track 'I'm Easy'.

The haunting, psychedelic volume drop and eerie atmosphere at the end of 'Finding Her'.
