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 its muscle and part of its 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 its 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.
