Boz Scaggs - Middle Man

Review by sivasubramanian ramaswamy

Middle Man, the seventh studio album by Boz Scaggs, is a perfect blend of pop, rock, and soul music. Released in 1980, the album features a number of hit songs that have become classics over the years.

The album opens with the catchy and upbeat "Jojo," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Scaggs delivers his signature smooth vocals over a funky bassline and infectious guitar riffs. The album's title track, "Middle Man," is another standout song that showcases Scaggs' versatility as a musician.

The album also features a number of ballads, including "Simone" and "You Can Have Me Anytime," which highlight Scaggs' ability to convey emotion through his music. The album's closer, "Angel You," is a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a lost love.
