Middle Man

Boz Scaggs

A high-gloss fusion of rock grit and R&B groove. Recorded with the future members of Toto, it defines the peak of sophisticated, neon-lit urban pop.

It's like a high-speed chase in a luxury car through 1980s Manhattan.

A confident, high-gloss urban swagger that balances soulful warmth with a cool, detached edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, biting guitar solo on the title track that cuts through the otherwise velvet production.
The rhythmic interplay between the syncopated bassline and the crisp snare on 'You Got Some Imagination'.
The way the backing vocals swell during the chorus of 'Angel You', creating a wall of high-fidelity sound.
