Greatest Hits Live (Boz Scaggs Album)
''Greatest Hits Live'' is a live album by Boz Scaggs. It was released on August 17, 2004 by Mailboat Records. Reception Allmusic's retrospective review stated that "Even if it's a byproduct of the associated DVD recorded at the same August 2004 San Francisco gig, this is a lively and professionally performed show that makes up in soul what it lacks in spontaneity." They found the renditions of the songs to be generally strong, particularly the blues-based tracks ("Ask Me 'Bout Nuthin' but the Blues," "Runnin' Blue", and "Loan Me a Dime"). They also applauded the removal of the "rather forced between-song patter very present in the DVD".

Lido Shuffle
"Lido Shuffle" is a song written by Boz Scaggs and David Paich and introduced on the 1976 Boz Scaggs album, ''Silk Degrees''. It was subsequently released as a single in 1977. Scaggs recalled: ""Lido Shuffle" was a song that I'd been banging around. I...took the idea of the shuffle roma song that Fats Domino did called " The Fat Man" that had a kind of driving shuffle beat that I used to play on the piano, and I just started kind of singing along with it. Then I showed it to Paich and he helped me fill it out. It ended up being "Lido Shuffle"." The song was also adopted by the Philadelphia Eagles to play when cornerback Lito Sheppard would make an interception. Song structure "Lido Shuffle", written in the key of G major (as many of Scaggs' other memorable songs), uses the familiar I-IV-V chord progression that is foundation of blues, pop, and rock. Unusually, however, it modulates up a minor third to the key of Bb for the chorus. Lido Shuffle begins with an intro, followed by ...

Lowdown (Boz Scaggs Song)
"Lowdown" is a song originally recorded in 1976 by Boz Scaggs for his album ''Silk Degrees''. The song was co-written by Scaggs and keyboardist David Paich. Paich, along with fellow "Lowdown" session musicians bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro, would later go on to form the band Toto. Release and reaction Initially, ''Silk Degrees'' received a lukewarm commercial response and, similarly, the first single released from the album, "It's Over" barely cracked the top 40 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking at #38. One day, however, a Cleveland R&B radio DJ began playing "Lowdown" straight off the album. That was at a time when DJs had much more say in what was played on their programs. Public response was very positive and soon Scaggs' record label, Columbia, sent the song to other R&B-oriented radio stations for airplay. It broke big on Top 40 Pop stations as well, and when it was officially released as a single, it became Scaggs' first major hit, reaching ...

Allmusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
