PRODUCT DETAILS

Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Atlantic Records! Boz Scagg's debut album praised by critics - an enduring blue-eyed soul masterpiece! Featuring 'Loan Me a Dime' and 'Waiting for a Train' 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Gatefold old-style 'tip-on' jacket by Stoughton Printing Boz Scaggs' self-titled album, released in 1969, is an iconic and pivotal record in his career, marking a shift in his musical direction to incorporate elements of soul, R&B, and showcasing his musical versatility. Departing from the Steve Miller Band after a two-album stint, Boz Scaggs found himself on his own but not without support. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, his friend, helped him sign with Atlantic Records and the label had him set up shop in Muscle Shoals, recording his debut album with that legendary set of studio musicians, known for their down-and-dirty backing work for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, among many other Southern soul legends. AllMusic writes: 'The Muscle Shoals rhythm section, occasionally augmented by guitarist Duane Allman, gives this music genuine grit, but this isn't necessarily a straight-up blue-eyed soul record, even if the opening 'I'm Easy' and 'I'll Be Long Gone' are certainly as deeply soulful as anything cut at Muscle Shoals.' Scaggs dabbled in country and blues along with the soul and R&B that grounds this record. The extended 11-minute blues workout 'Loan Me a Dime,' functions as much as a showcase for a blazing Duane Allman as it does for Boz. But even with that show-stealing turn, and even with the Muscle Shoals musicians giving this album it's muscle and part of it's soul, this album is still thoroughly a showcase for Boz Scaggs' musical vision. 'Loan Me a Dime' is blues-rock classic. It showcased Scaggs' soulful vocals and Allman's remarkable guitar skills. Boz Scaggs' songs garnered significant radio airplay and helped introduce Boz Scaggs to a wider audience. The impact of Boz Scaggs extended beyond it's initial release. It has continued to influence and inspire subsequent generations of musicians, particularly those interested in blending blues, rock, and soul. This definitive deluxe 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) reissue of Boz Scaggs will be a highlight in your most-listened-to album rotation. Tracklist:0 Side 1 1 1. I'm Easy 2 2.
