Whether you fell in love with the sly drawl of Boz Scaggs in the late sixties, or during his remarkable multi-platinum solo career, you won’t want to miss him live on stage. Scaggs outdoes himself, following up his #1 album Memphis (2013), by having more fun than ever on his new album, A Fool to Care.

The inspirational heart of A Fool to Care lies in the down-home sounds of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma that played such a vital role in shaping Scaggs’ musical sensibility. His soul is deeply, effortlessly felt, never making a show of itself, but unmistakably evident in every lyric he delivers. The original smooth talker, Scaggs navigates seamlessly from New Orleans soul to wry commentary to Latin flavors, with plenty of horns, strings, and slide guitar to go around.

Scagg’s brings a cool intimacy to Bobby Charles’s “Small Town Talk,” and an elegant delicacy to the Impressions’ “I’m So Proud.” Scaggs puts a jaunty spin on Al Green’s “Full of Fire,” then the big-band R&B summer sound of “Rich Woman.” He’ll break your heart with a wistful interpretation of The Band’s “Whispering Pines” and woo you back with the devil-may-care title track.

You’ll be dancing in your seat as you fall in love with Boz Scaggs all over again.
