Boz Scaggs Flac

Cool collection of 70s music from pop to rock - timeless classics. And all this in the highest sound quality!

The 31st of February made an obscure album for Vanguard in the late 1960s that was typical of many LPs of the time in that it was made up of a little bit of folk-rock, a little bit of psychedelia, and a little bit of pop. The record didn't make a commercial splash, but the trio became a historical footnote when, after meeting Gregg and Duane Allman, they ended up backing the brothers on the Duane & Greg Allman album, which was issued in 1972. After the band split up, Butch Trucks became drummer for the Allman Brothers, Scott Boyer played in Cowboy, and bassist David Brown worked as a session musician, notably with Boz Scaggs.

Robert Cray has been bridging the lines between blues, soul and R&B for the past four decades, with five Grammy wins and over 20 acclaimed albums. His latest album, That's What I Heard, was recorded at the iconic Capitol Records studios and produced by Steve Jordan (Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, Keith Richards, Boz Scaggs). The music is a varied sonic blend of blues, soul, boogaloo and gospel. Guest artists include Ray Parker Jr and Steve Perry.

Grammy-nominated guitarist and performer Rick Vito announces his eleventh solo album, ‘Cadillac Man,’ a collection of eleven original tracks and an instrumental version of Sam Cooke’s “Just Another Day.” The album title reflects Vito’s lifelong passion for classic Cadillac cars. “Mr Lucky,” his 1969 Sedan De Ville, is pictured on the cover. Fans of slide and blues guitar will find songs on the album to suit every mood, from rhythmic to rocking, swinging to swampy, and all points in between. One standout is Vito’s original rocking arrangement of “It’s Two A.M.,” previously recorded by Shemekia Copeland and winner of the 2001 W.C. Handy Blues Award for “Song of the Year.”

Nicki Parrott (vocals & bass) is joined by John Di Martino (piano), Dave Blenkhorn (guitar) and Quentin Baxter (drums) on this set of '70s favorites by Boz Scaggs, Chicago, Elton John, Carly Simon, Carole King and more!

Your Saving Grace is a much more earthy collection of tunes when compared to the band's previous three long-players. While there are distinct psychedelic remnants of the Boz Scaggs (guitar/vocals) and Jim Peterman (keyboards) era, the addition of keyboardists Ben Sidran and Nicky Hopkins - which began on the Steve Miller Band's previous effort, Brave New World - adds a jazzier facet to this second incarnation of the group. Harking back to the band's blues roots, Your Saving Grace includes a couple of distinct blues originals - such as the up-tempo and gospel-doused "Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around" and a somewhat uninspired arrangement of "Motherless Children," which sounds more synchronous with the Sailor or Brave New World albums…
