  • FADE INTO LIGHT (U.S. Release) You’ve heard some of these songs before, but you haven’t heard them like this. Intimate, understated, distinguished by the interplay of a handful of virtuoso musicians and the silken voice of one of the classic singers of our time, Fade Into Light is Boz Scaggs in a different setting, introducing new material and revisiting old classics with subtlety, elegance and flair. Previously released by Virgin Japan, Fade Into Light has become a much-sought-after prize among Scaggs aficionados who've paid high prices for the import. It offers unplugged versions of some of Scaggs' best-known songs, along with several new compositions. Included in this U.S. Virgin DualDisc edition is a new recording by Scaggs of the 80's classic, "Love TKO."

  • SILK DEGREES 2007
    Remastered Silk Degrees Album Now Available! Feb 27, 2007

    By the mid-'70s, Boz Scaggs had amassed a varied body of work, rocking out in the music explosion of San Francisco in the late '60s and laying down some molten blues with Duane Allman and the Muscle Shoales rhythm section before moving ever closer to full-blown soul music on a series of solo albums, culminating with 1974's Slow Dancer. Each of these stylistic moves was impressive in its own right, but Scaggs had yet to put it all together into a coherent whole. That changed with 1976's Silk Degrees. Working with a crack team of L.A. studio players including a rhythm section with drummer Jeff Porcaro, keyboards/arranger David Paich, bassist David Ungate and guitarists Louie Shelton and Fred Tackett, an inspired Scaggs wrote songs and sang with newfound power and subtlety. After its release, Silk Degrees remained on the Billboard album charts for 115 weeks, posting three chart-topping singles in the process of becoming one of the most memorable and beloved albums of the 1970s. This remastered expanded edition has been remastered for superior sound and now includes three live, previously unreleased bonus tracks. These are the only available 1970s live tracks from Scaggs' career. Boz was completely involved in all stages of the album's production including the mixing and mastering. The booklet includes liner notes from long-time music journalist Bud Scoppa and from Boz himself. -bozscaggs.com

  • BOZ SCAGGS WINE

    Boz Scaggs has spent years laboring over his Napa Vineyards hoping to produce his finest. In 1998, Scaggs planted Mourvedre and Grenache, which along with Syrah form the basis of many Rhone blends. The result is just over 2 acres in the approximate ratio of grapes from the Rhone Valley towns of Beaucastel and Gigondas, Scaggs says: 46 percent Mourvedre, 38 percent Grenache and 16 percent Syrah. 

    Says Scaggs, "It's taken years to move [the wine] from down-the-sink to drinkable to sellable, and I'm determined to make it a medal winner." His first vintage was 2003, but he wasn't crazy about it, so he's waiting to see how the 2004 "sits in the bottle for a few months" and said he is hoping to release it once he completes the BATF legal process and label approval. "It's in a bonded warehouse and will be released.
