I cannot believe it took so long for me to lay my ears on this marvelous piece of music. This type of music is seldom available over the airwaves in the UK where originate. Today I live near Chicago and spend most of my listening time during working hours clued to WDRV (The Drive) stream and today I was so fortunate because I got to hear this great piece of blues music. I immediately started a search for Boz and came across this site, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have learned that you are never to old to find great music.

First time I heard this song it was during a recorded interview with Boz. He related that Duane could not or would not turn it down, so the producer or sound engineer put Duane and his amp behind the closed doors of a bathroom. Assuming the story is true, Allman’s guitar stands out above all other instruments on this recording date. I have purchased this album 3 times then finally found a CD. Thanks BB for bringing this song new life.

Boz Scaggs version of Loan Me A Dime is one of the few songs that absolutely puts me in the clouds. The arrangement of the song is superb. It starts sooo slow and smooth then builds and builds, all the while you can’t imagine how it could get any better, yet it does. At the end, just like great sex, I’m exhausted with contentment and bliss. What talent these guys have. I’m very grateful to Fenton and Boz for creating one of the finer things in life.

As someone who grew up in Atlanta during the time the Almond Brothers would come from Macon to play in Piedmont Park for free I really appreciate not only the guitar playing but the arrangement Boz put together on this song. Absolutely one of my favorites.
