If you only own one Boz Scaggs album, make it The Essential Boz Scaggs (2013). This two-disc, 34-track collection does exactly what a great “essential” compilation should: it balances the blockbuster hits with deep cuts, early work, and later-career highlights, all while showcasing Scaggs’ effortless blend of blue-eyed soul, rock, R&B, and jazz-pop.
Unlike single-disc “best-of” releases, this set digs into his early days with the Steve Miller Band (“Somebody Loan Me a Dime”) and his gutsy, Muscle Shoals–recorded debut (“Loan Me a Dime” — a different, stunning 1969 take). You also get gems like “Harbor Lights” (from his acclaimed 1996 comeback) and “Thanks to You” (from Dig ). The inclusion of “Runnin’ Blue” and “We Were Always Sweethearts” shows his eclectic, genre-hopping range.
From the silky “Lowdown” and the irresistible “Lido Shuffle” (both from his masterpiece Silk Degrees ) to the aching ballad “We’re All Alone,” the set wastes no time delivering the radio staples. “Look What You’ve Done to Me” and “Miss Sun” (originally a outtake turned fan favorite) round out his late-’70s/early-’80s peak.
Here’s a complete, ready-to-use review for — formatted for a music site, blog, or customer review section. Title: A Smooth, Soulful Journey Through a Masterful Career Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
The 2013 remastering is clean and warm — Scaggs’ honeyed tenor and those crisp rhythm sections pop without being brickwalled. The track flow is smart: disc one traces his rise through the ’70s; disc two moves from his quiet period through his confident mature work, ending with the bluesy “Vanishing Point” and the soulful “I’ll Be Long Gone.”
Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Toto, Donald Fagen, or late-’70s LA session scene sophistication.
