Dig

Boz Scaggs’ 1997 album "Come On Home" was a kind of a tribute album to his roots i.e. R&B. Therefore, "Dig" is the original album since 1994 when Boz released "Some Change". At the very early stage we got the news that Boz was making this new album with his old boys, Danny Kortchmer and David Paich, some kind of rumor became popular. It was that this new album would be "Silk Degrees"-like album. However, Boz gives us different answer. To some extent, "Dig" is very soulful and funky, but more acid-jazzy with R&B flavor. If you would expect this album to be like "Silk Degrees" or "Middle Man" because Steve Lukather, Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East, Did Paich are involved and should note that "Dig" includes a kind of experimental tune like"Get On The Natch".For those who only hope that Boz should perform same as late 70's and 80's before "Other Roads", this album might not be satisfactory, but I love this reborn Boz Scaggs's music style too. As you see, the album release date in USA was 11 September 2001 when the never-forgettable WTC terror event happened.
