My college artist friend again had the original album, Duane’s Anthology and of course many Allman Brothers albums. He particularly loved to play this track and am grateful for it. This is a guitar grabber and play alonger, which I did. Made my morning.
Boz has played some great blues in his days. Just a FYI, Boz and Steve Miller were/are good friends who attended UW-Madison together and I believe were in the UW Marching Band. More recent is 2018 Out of the Blues album and 2013 Memphis which are mostly covers such as Mink DeVilles Mixed Up Shook Up Girl. Have you done Mink DeVille?
I love his mature voice just as much, if not more than this young version. Check out his albums, A Fool to Care, and Out of the Blues (Memphis is pretty cool too...). Thanks, Justin, I thoroughly enjoyed that...
Thanks for posting - Great Blues song -- I used to think it was a traditional old song, but it was actually written by Boz Scaggs. I have the original 1969 vinyl pressing, and posted this on YT. The 1969 original recording has a very spatial sound, and the Memphis Horns have much more of a commanding punchy sound. But, since the death of Duane Allman, his guitar was moved in the mix from the far right speaker to the center, and is much more dominant. Having listened to this song so many times, one begins to notice those things.
Happy New Year, Justin, I hope that 2025 brings you all that you want. Take care and all the very best from the U.K. A lesser known track from Boz Scaggs.
I miss good college radio......two songs I first heard when a DJ was signing off after their last show......this one, and the other was, Wild is the Wind, by Nina Simone.......have stuck with me over the years! YES, you could make a phone call for .10 CENTS!
Masterful! Probably the best discovery I've found on your channel. By the way, the people you mentioned by name at the beginning of the video, how well do you know them? They could be under indictment by a grand jury or wanted by the F.B.I. or something like that. You can never be too careful. That being said, wouldn't this be a good time for a relaxing cup of Wawa coffee? If I had a dime for every cup of Wawa coffee I drank...
Told ya😉…. And your initial thoughts made me laugh out loud. Nice touch ….as Duane was diddling on guitar with Boz Dickey Betts was diddling with Boz Scaggs girlfriend😳 true story…. You definitely want to check out Duane Allman an anthology 1&2 two double albums of some of Duanes studio work from the beginning through the Allman Brothers music absolutely incredible the people that Duane played with. For me the greatest guitarist ever his discography is second to none.
Bog standard slow blues number, with elements of Whiter Shade of Pale & Since I've been loving You running all through it. Initially ok for what it was, but then the whole thing is ludicrously (and I could say needlessly) drawn out for nearly 13 mins! I mean WHY. Tons of noodling, but not partic great noodling, repetitive, and with little nuance. I was bored 5 mins in... And to think, I paused the Vienna Philharmonic's New Years Day concert for this... I'm going back to the Strauss :)
It just goes to show that it's not musical concepts that make a musician truly great, or even a talent for a fine melody--it's discipline. It's the ability to arrange a piece so that it contains only what it needs for conceptual self-consistency, and is also the right length for what it's supposed to do. Call me picky if you like, lol.
@@pentagrammaton6793 Quite right, I know exactly what you mean. As the old saying goes, often, Less is More. Different if you're pulling out all the stops sometimes, but here a lot of the noodling, partic the second half just sounded 'phoned in', gratuitous even...
Gosh, so many rules. Sometimes, people want to jam and they’ve had a few whatevers and it’s recorded with a few bum notes here and there. It all about fun. If all songs were perfectly played in perfect length even that would get boring. Sure, perfection is a goal but fun and enjoyment should be too. Strauss whiplash has gotta hurt…
@@-davidolivares I'm not after perfection, per se, I'd happily settle for something interesting. I just wasn't finding it here. As for whiplash, no problems there. After decades of trained listening I find the transition from slow blues, to pacy waltzes & polkas a doddle. No soft tissue injuries were incurred in my mornings listening :)
This blew me away first time I heard it - I had only know his Silk Degrees and later stuff!
My late friend Chip Sullivan was a blues freak and he really got into this song. It's the only Boz Scaggs song that ever interested me.

One of the BEST early blues songs ever released. Boz puts out the lead vocals perfectly as Duane Hits the guitar strings with bluesy notes.
I love his mature voice just as much, if not more than this young version. Check out his albums, A Fool to Care, and Out of the Blues (Memphis is pretty cool too...).

Hmm, interesting about the remix.
One of the classics , a song by Fenton Robinson done beautifully by Boz and Duane.
As Skynrd sang, in Muscle Shoals they got the Swampers, and know to play a tune or too. Sweet Home Alabama - the Swampers are this studio band
Happy New Year, Justin, I hope that 2025 brings you all that you want.
Take care and all the very best from the U.K.

Thanks so much Adam :)
@JustJP My pleasure, all the very best.
And…….. I can’t believe you haven’t played/ posted this long ago. Happy New Year JP

Yes Finally!!
That's a sad fade, knowing that the jam went on for another 28 minutes. Can't beat those Muscle Shoals Swampers to back things up. Thanks again JP.
Good one, happy new year JP
Happy NY Alva!
Yeah, this is all-timer. Great upload.

Lol! Ty Cat:D Def could use a cup of Wawa :)
I liked it!😊
I remember when a dime could get you a local pay phone call.
This was everybody's introduction to Boz Scaggs. At least this was my introduction
Boz Scaggs, Steve Miller, Rod Stewart were so good and then they weren't.
Duane Allman does the solo
Asked "if you can only listen to 1 song for the rest of your life what would it be?" Answer - this one.

Lol! Ty James :D
I guess the whiners rather listen to Cheeseburghers in Paradise. Appreciate the blues.
Bland blues by numbers.
