I got this album as soon as it came out as I knew of Duane Allman as a session man already at the time, and also it listed Tray Nelson among others as a backup singer…so I knew it was something special, I wasn’t disappointed the entire album is magic and true Country Blues at it’s best..!

I can’t tell you growing up how many times I jammed along with this great cut to learn what Duane was doing great phrasing terrific solo throughout but the entire album is the best and influenced by the sound The Band had introduced to rock as were many albums of the day..

Congratulations BB on this anniversary…please keep up the good work…!

I’ll post this to my Facebook site…!

Hi Otto… Boz recorded an album back in 65/66 and the one that is featured in this post is from 1969. But the album I believe you’re talking about is his 1971 release “Boz Scaggs & Band.”

Check out the link below. Is this what you are looking for?

I’m wondering if you know where I can get an out-of-print copy of the first Boz album ( first that I know of, anyway) . My copy is almost unplayable. It has Monkey Time, Midnight Invitation, and the amazing Flames Of Love as part of the play list………

Duane has never to this day gotten the credit he deserves. Simply gut wrenching guitar work. Better than Clapton (who by the way is one of my old time favorites) Hendrix, SRV, the list goes on. The best all around guitar of all time. My spelling was pretty bad in the first message, have not had my espresso yet.
