Product Description
Grammy-Award winning rock legend Boz Scaggs showcases both original songs and choice covers in his new album, MEMPHIS out March 5, 2013 on 429 Records. Produced by Steve Jordan (John Mayer), Memphis was recorded at Willie Mitchell legendary Royal Studio in Memphis, where the late Mitchell recorded Al Green and other hit music artists. Joining Scaggs on MEMPHIS are Willie Weeks (bass), Ray Parker Jr. (guitars), Spooner Oldham (keyboards), the Memphis Horns, Lester Snell (string arrangements) and Steve Jordan (drums).

William Royce Boz Scaggs began a long and storied career in 1965 with the release of his first solo recording Boz. Scaggs quickly developed into an iconic singer songwriter cutting his teeth playing with Steve Miller on several highly successful projects and honing his rock and R&B chops working with the likes of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Duane Allman. Scaggs hit it big in 1976 achieving multi-platinum success with Silk Degrees and its follow ups. Scaggs continued on a lauded and multi-genre musical journey with successes in film soundtracks. He and his band continue to tour worldwide and Scaggs also performs alongside Donald Fagan and Michael McDonald in their band billed as The Dukes of September.

Yes! This is terrific news. I've been waiting for a new Boz Scaggs album for awhile. While his projects often vary in style, they are consistently of high quality. I'm puzzled by the inclusion of the Memphis Horns. Was this recorded prior to Andrew Love's death, or did Wayne Jackson team up with someone else to form the new Memphis Horns? Just curious...

i know they might not be to every fan's taste, but i've quite enjoyed the last two sets of standards.
to be honest, however, i am more interested in the original tracks on this upcoming release.

According to Boz's Facebook page, Barnes & Noble will be selling an exclusive version of "Memphis" with 4 bonus tracks on a second CD. Yet the B&N site has no mention of bonus tracks. I haven't been able to find any confirmation of this, or any information on what the bonus tracks are. Does anyone have information?

Couldn't find any details on the B&N bonus disc, but iTunes is offering "Mary, Don't You Take Me On No Bad Trip [Long Version]" as a bonus track so that might be one inclusion.

According to this press release from earlier today, the 2-CD B&N-exclusive version of Memphis has 6 bonus tracks-- all demos-- but no further details are provided and there's no information on the B&N site. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/ ... RN20130304
