Boz Scaggs - "Down Two Then Left" (1977)

Cover (Down Two Then Left:Boz Scaggs)

I listened to Boz Scaggs' most acclaimed album (Silk Degrees) and felt lukewarm about it, so I expected to dislike Down Two Then Left. And I was right! This is not a terrible record, and I admit that the slick L.A. production works well with Scaggs' soul/funk/rock sound. There are some popping bass lines and nearly every track has a decent groove. But apart from "Lido Shuffle," Scaggs is incapable of writing any songs that I find catchy or memorable. Bin blue!
