Boz Scaggs - A Fool to Care

Rolling Stone 50 Best Albums of 2015- Rated 18/50!

Vinyl LP Mastered by Bernie Grundman! Features Duets with Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams!

Boz Scaggs follows up the chart topping and critically acclaimed, “Memphis,” (his highest charting record since the legendary Silk Degrees), with ‘A Fool To Care." Produced By Steve Jordan, the album boasts several new Boz originals, as well as a diverse range of R&B/Soul treasures. "A Fool to Care" features duets with guest artists Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams.

The Grammy-winning rock icon Boz Scaggs blends rock, soul, jazz and R&B for this album of new material. Bonnie Raitt plays slide guitar and sings vocals on Hell To Pay while Lucinda Williams provides duet vocals with Scaggs on Whispering Pines.

A Fool To Care showcases the patchwork of influences and innovations that make up a Boz Scaggs album…and sees Scaggs letting loose and having some fun. You can hear that sense of fun, as well as his ability and willingness to wander in any musical direction throughout these twelve tracks. The inspirational heart of the album lies in the sounds of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma that played such a vital role in shaping Scaggs' musical sensibility, but they venture forth boldly from there. Scaggs brings a sly drawl to a funky workout like Li'l Millet and the Creoles' "Rich Woman" and an elegant delicacy to the Impressions' "I'm So Proud." He easily negotiates the Latin flavoring of "Last Tango on 16th Street" and "I Want to See You," both written by San Francisco bluesman (and longtime Scaggs compatriot) Jack Walroth. Horns, strings, soulful background vocalists and guests like guitarist Reggie Young and steel guitarist Paul Franklin lift the album into the stratosphere.

The core band joining Boz on A Fool To Care is Willie Weeks (bass), Ray Parker Jr. (guitars), Jim Cox (keyboard), and Steve Jordan (drums).
