Boz Scaggs' Hits: A Solid Collection
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-07-02
Good stuff from a mid-tempo rocker and smoothly laid back balladeer. This expanded Hits collection has 15 tracks which I love listening to. The only thing that would make it better was if it could have included some Scaggs songs from his 'Dig', Some Change, and 'Down Home' CD releases, but those are on a different music label (Virgin Music) than this collection from Columbia records. Even so, this 'Hits' CD is a solid package of Boz's pop, rock, and blue eyed soul. Get this CD and then down load your chosen digital tracks from Scaggs' Virgin CD releases for your own personal best of Boz !

Boz Scaggs always had some cuts back in the day that stayed on a Groove. this collection is very well represented. "Lowdown" was always my Jam as is Miss Sun. his vocals are cool and the Overall Production and Instrumentation compliment his range.very laid back and cool Jams on this compilation.

"Hits!" Upgraded

This upgraded version of the previously released "Hits!" is certainly an improvement over the one released in 1980. There are more songs to show the talent of Boz Scaggs, which is needed in a single disc. The sound is great and it has added songs from "Silk Degrees", which is a treat. I, personally think it's a good overview of his early years. If you are a fan of Boz Scaggs' early work, get this, it has many of the songs that you'll want, especially if you are more of a casual fan.

Great Remastering Brings Hits to Life!

I know that Bob Ludwig at Gateway tends to overaccentuate the high end on his remastering endeavors, but when "Jo Jo" bursted into my speakers on track #2, i was BLOWN away; it was as if the Summer of 1980 blew my way like a big beautiful gust of wind. It sounded GREAT! I've ended up enjoying this collection much more than i anticipated, and am glad i waited until the remastered/expanded edition came out to finally purchase "Hits"! Was also glad to see Sony/Legacy remaster Silk Degrees earlier this year as well, finally. If you're also a Toto fan (which i admit i am--they played on both Silk Degrees and Middle Man), you'll love this collection. I haven't been able to get Jo Jo out of my head all week! Thanks for reading!

Unnecessary.

Even Tho I am a big, big Boz Scaggs fan, I have to say this collection is a waste of money. It's the repetition of the Original Hits! compilation, released in 1980, without "You Can Have Me Anytime" and adding "Heart Of Mine" and "Hard Times." Boz deserves better and no wonder he left Sony music if they're gonna treat his material this way. Go for the masterpieces: "My Time: Anthology 1969-1997," and his albums "Silk Degrees," "Slow Dancer" and, of course, his debut album. Collections like this one are just filler.
