Boz Scaggs - Lowdown (Official Audio)

Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises.

Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.

[@Jkrazy83]

great synopsis sir

[@markjackson6134]

Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.

Hitmanfan91 At about 4:45, the bass does a slight flub. It is hardly noticeable, but I replayed this track at least 200 times to get it right since I play bass too. The song is flawless. I don't think a song with this kind of emotional impact and attitude will ever be made again. Boz says he hates his voice on this song. Sure, he sings a little nasal, but that is his natural style. He does say that "Lowdown" is what made him a super star and made him a household name at that time. Before that, he had little hits that were okay, but this put his name in lights.

Ladies and Gentlemen this funk was laid down for free. Before Boz Scaggs released Silk Degrees his record label was about to kick him to the curb. However his friends in Toto agreed to do the sessions free to save him some money. Amazing isn't it just imagine how great this would have been had they gotten paid. Not that it's bad though just saying. The groove Jeff Porcaro lays down is amazing as is David Hungate's Bass.

[@borgullet3376]

They got paid on the back end. This album bought Jeff his house... R.I.P.

Nathan Brooken You could argue they played for the enjoyment of it and not for money which meant they were not just turning up for a paycheck and so could put themselves more into the music.
