	Amazon.co.uk: My Time: Boz Scaggs Anthology 1969-1997: Music: Boz Scaggs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Boz Scaggs may be remembered most in Britain for the disco / RandB styled hits 'Lowdown', 'What can I say' and 'Lido shuffle' in 1977, but there was far more to the man, as this excellent and comprehensive collection amply demonstrates.
		Boz was certainly not jumping on a disco bandwagon, as he had already spent a number of years honing his skills as an RandB/soul singer and band leader, resulting in several creditable albums leading up to his well deserved commercial breakthrough with the 'Silk Degrees' album from which came the above mentioned hits.
		Boz was and is a master of this genre, and most of today's young male singers with soulful pretensions should listen to this to find how it should really be done.

	Boz Scaggs But Beautiful by Todd Warnke
		Scaggs' vocals have always joined a sophisticated and worldly sense of love and its perils to an off-the-cuff ease - the perfect blend for cool soul, RandB and the blues.
		Here the lyric is more pensive and while Scaggs brings excellent voice to the song, he also stays just beyond the emotional center of the tune.
		Scaggs approach is the perfect line for these lyrics, just enough longing tempered with experience to sell the emotion, and when Crystal solos, it is with exquisite delicacy, and this against the backdrop of a totally locked in rhythm section.

	Rolling Stone : Boz Scaggs: Middle Man : Music Reviews
		Boz Scaggs' steamy new blockbuster, Middle Man, more than recaptures the robust lushness of Silk Degrees, the album that firmly established Scaggs as pop-rock's sharpest fancy dancer.
		Middle man could well be Boz Scaggs' response to Donna Summer's Bad Girls, since its milieu is similar: a high-rent, high-rise City of Night where grand passions and cheap thrills are one and the same.
		Boz Scaggs' raw timbre, syllabic slurs and insinuating phraseology make him pop music's hippest city slicker, a sulky roué who combines Al Green's leonine grace with Van Morrison's emotional volatility.

	Boz Scaggs - Ratings and Reviews
		Boz's Columbia Records debut spawned the minor hit "We Were Always Sweethearts," a pop tune representative of Boz's early songs, but not necessarily of Moments.
		Boz Scaggs always had a knack for adjusting his musical style with the times without sacrificing his bluesy roots.
		Scaggs added his ballad "The Perfect One." The album's concluding number is an instrumental ("Night Music") written by David Foster, frequent collaborator of Scaggs and of Newton-John.

		"Boz Scaggs" is another candidate for the greatest overlooked, unjustly forgotten album of the classic rock era.
		A lot of fans of this album like to bemoan the fact that Boz Scaggs seemed to "go commercial" in later years, especially with "Silk Degrees." I think this is the wrong way to look at his career.
		Scaggs obviously loves the whole wide expanse of soul, blues and R and B, and feels no need to settle into a single groove within that broad category.

		Lanky Texan neo-soul crooner and underrated guitar warrior Boz Scaggs was a Steve Miller Band alumnus who jumped ship to probe silky R&B instead of gritty blues, the Miller Band's original milieu, and each of his early '70s solo albums polished the mix toward this triumphant zenith.
		Boz Scaggs happens to be part of a minority.
		That is, he happens to be able to mix the sound of the blues, jazz, pop and rock in his recordings and it makes for some gorgeous music.

	Boz Scaggs still exploring new musical styles \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Scaggs countered that situation two years ago by releasing “Greatest Hits Live”; on his own Gray Cat label.
		The two-CD set nearly sums up Scaggs' lengthy career and myriad influences, from blues (including “Somebody Loan Me a Dime,” originally recorded in 1969 with Duane Allman on slide guitar), RandB (the '76 hit “Lowdown”), rock, soul and even smooth jazz, which Scaggs can be said to have helped introduce.
		Scaggs has come a long way since his '69 debut album, “Boz Scaggs,” and even then he'd already played guitar with Bay Area rocker Steve Miller (they had a high-school band together in Dallas) on Miller's first two albums.
