About Some Change

Boz Scaggs had perfected a sleek R&B-based disco-soul music throughout the late ‘70s. He peaked commercially with 1976’s Silk Degrees and cemented his status with 1980’s Middle Man before taking an eight year hiatus. By 1994, when Some Change entered the marketplace, both the musical environment and Scaggs himself had noticeably changed. Older, wiser, and drawn towards the roots of his influences, Scaggs opted to make an album that played up the juke-joint origins of his Texas collegiate bluesman days. The backing ensemble delivers the professionally seasoned sound of an all-night bar band, organ purring, guitar soloing, and the singer modulating between street blues (“Some Change,” “Follow That Man”) and his heartfelt ballads (“I’ll Be The One,” “Illusions”). Scaggs had always been one for adding an extra sheen to his sound, so it’s with great surprise that his vocals are left this naked. He still double-tracks his voice in spots for a ghostly spiritualism that works wonders with his lithe attack. “You Got My Letter,” “Call Me” and “Lost It” continue the man’s reputation as a first-rate soul singer.
