BOZ SCAGGS - Detour - LP - Vinyl [DEC 12]

LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl.  

Grammy-winner, Boz Scaggs, known for his silky voice and genre-blending style, takes a refined turn with a jazz-influenced record that showcases his deep appreciation for classic grooves and sophisticated arrangements. Blending smoky vocals with laid-back rhythms, the album nods to the cool jazz clubs of the past while keeping Scaggs’ signature soul intact. It’s a smooth, mature work comprised of Boz’s interpretation of classic standards as well as one new original track.

Press:
"His voice has matured - like the best wine (Boz ran a vineyard in Napa for a while), without losing any of its musicality and control. He weaves phrases as if they were dripping honey...Plenty of delights here, not least a sultry version of Bobby Troup's "The Meaning of the Blues", or the aching melancholy of Lerner and Lane's "Too Late Now"." - The Arts Desk
