Hear it Now
View
Boz Scaggs is hardly the first recovering rock star to turn toward the classic American songbook, but few have ever done it with the soulful ease he does on But Beautiful. Cutting small-jazz-group versions of some of the most romantic music ever -- "Sophisticated Lady," "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" -- Scaggs makes the best R&B he has recorded since 1976's Silk Degrees. On songs such as "For All We Know," Scaggs' barely Caucasian voice sensitively finds the middle ground between Big Joe Williams and Little Jimmy Scott. Anyone who heard Rod Stewart's mediocre disc of covers last year owes it to himself to hear Beautiful.
