Detour - Music CD

Detour' finds the Grammy-winner Boz Scaggs interpreting timeless standards with tender insight and profound emotional sophistication. “I had no intention of making a record when I started singing these songs. It was all very casual at first, just an opportunity to explore a style of music I’ve always liked, to get together with a friend and play for the sheer joy of it.” - Boz Scaggs

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of rock and roll’s most soulful vocalists,” Boz Scaggs began his career playing guitar and singing with the Steve Miller Band before going solo in 1969. By the ’70s, Scaggs had signed with Columbia Records, where he released a series of critically acclaimed albums leading up to 1976’s Silk Degrees, which would earn 5x platinum certification and make him a household name on the strength of smash singles like “Lido Shuffle,” “It’s Over,” and “Lowdown.” In the years to come, Scaggs would go on to share bills with the likes of Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, play everywhere from SNL and The Tonight Show to Austin City Limits, and tour as The Dukes of September with Donald Fagan and Michael McDonald. Along the way, he would sell millions of records worldwide and crack the Top 40 eight more times while carving out a distinctive and enduring path that’s endeared him to six decades of fans.
