Description of item
The "King of AOR" has reissued his "missed debut album", bringing you back to your heartwarming roots!
This is Boz Scaggs, naked with just an acoustic guitar and harmonica, reissued in a paper jacket.
He caught his eye in Stockholm, the final destination of his wanderings, and released exclusively in Sweden, this album features R&B and blues classics that could be said to be the origins of his musical career.
He makes the most of the greatness of each song, while also exuding an intellectual elegance, and I hope you'll listen to his straight-forward resonance that transcends the long years of 59 years.
The album is full of variety, including the lively "YOU'RE SO FINE" and "HOW LONG," which could also be considered pop songs, Dylan's "BABY LET ME FOLLOW YOU DOWN" and "GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY," and Presley's debut song "THAT'S ALLRIGHT."

Blues Channel's "HEY BABY" is a famous song that is also known for being the inspiration for John Lennon's harmonica performance in "Love Me Do."

The bonus track, a collaboration with The Merry Men, released in the same year, is also great, with the '60s sound that lets you enjoy Boz's free-flowing vocals.
