Memphis

Boz Scaggs

A masterfully understated return to roots. Recorded in Memphis, these twelve tracks trade slick city pop for weathered soul and dusty, analog blues.

Find on Amazon

Boz goes to Memphis and finds his soul in a dusty, three-day recording session.

A dignified, soulful reflection that feels both weary and deeply comforted.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the organ swells during the bridge of Rainy Night in Georgia, mimicking a distant storm.
The dry, clicking percussion on Cadillac Walk that gives the track a skeletal, menacing groove.
Boz's voice cracking slightly on the high notes of Sunny Gone, revealing a vulnerability absent from his 70s hits.
