Boz Scaggs: A Fool to Care Review

The renowned bluesman Boz Scaggs has a new album out, and it's classic Scaggs. It's also classic Al Green, classic Spinners, and classic Bobby Charles....From the soulful "Full of Fire" to the Latin-inspired "Last Tango on 16th Street," Scaggs invigorates the blues by reminding listeners that it's a versatile genre, able to incorporate instruments and sounds that aren't typically associated with its bluesman-on-the-porch image.
