This is the cut!!! I've always thought this song was sooo pimp! I thought Boz Scaggs was black when I first heard it,the mas got soul! I love to ride in my '83 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham coupe w/the windows rolled halfway down bumpin this track,I wish it could be my life soundtrack.
this entire album needs to be put into a time capsule and launched into space!!! Not a bad tune on the entire record! In his prime, he was so cool, that when he crossed the street....."both ways" looked for HIM......
Two albums in 1976 have maintained relevance into the 21st century : Doctor Savannah's Original Savannah Band with it's danceable retro hits,and of course,Silk Degrees featuring the smash,Lowdown by the one ,the only,Boz Scaggs!

back then when a song came on the radio, and yes we listened to a LOT of radio, you KNEW who it was. Style was so distinctive and original then. Sittin out in the field with a few doobies and some draft and all the radios tuned to the same station...
'lowdown'.. definitely a favorite of the older (older to me back then meant 20 or more- haha) dancers, the frosh and soph dancers liked 'it's over' from the same album.
pants down scum generation ...dead era ...rock-forgetaboutit- R&B? B stuff headlines...jay-Z LOL -- hip-hop-what a parse ...duke-Stach-Frank-john lennon are rolling in their graves...Dead era---music-movies-TV ____BAD
Easily in my top 30 all time. Not sure where though lol - Amazing amazing amazing tune - love it to pieces. Love West coast - they were jamming and getting down. Loads of soul here. Utterly memorable and infectious and the drummer is out of sight.
this dude is another one who put it down on all scales i was 12 and fell inluv with song.there was a cool as pimp that lived in our hood he had a convertable impala and use to jame the hell out of this.
why the hate on contemporary music? what are you gonna do, take a time machine journey? live on the planet and enjoy music of all eras.
go hear artists like whitefield brothers, william parker, up bustle & out, nomo, grupo fantasma, antibalas, j-live, orgone, amir el saffar, nação zumbi, jimmy bosch, budos band, etc. that is a wide swath of great contemporary music from the underground. check it out.
This is the perfect R&B song. Perfect key, easy vocals to sing, perfect beat, slammin altered chords on the electric piano, perfect story, and one of the best bridges on all times. Listen to how he layered the strings on parts of the song. Get Down Boz!
this is hip, fresh, brilliant, what ever all ya old folks wanna call this, but im seventeen and mayne is it all a bunch of mind fucked bullshit on the radio these days... can you believe people hate on me for listentin to this type of music? fuckem!... ima bump this type shit till the day i motherfunkin D I E
MY GOD PLEASE HELP ME! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME! ANY WHITE BOY THAT CAN MAKE A SMOOTH ASS CUT LIKE THIS IS DA BOMB! GOD BLESS YOU MR. BOZ SCAGGS
The digital age and sound reproduction has brought an onslaught of "artificial" tones and sound. Back then, there were real musicians playing instruments, not computerized generated sounds, I admit, there are some who mastered this new technology, but nothing can compare to the real thing.
@barbarabell2011 So true - I'm so sad for my kids - fuck - i do all i can - but they say - you gotta go with the new stuff - do i fuck. This is so many miles better, here to the moon.
Man, this song takes me back to the good old days in the 70's... The world was a much better place back then... People were differant back then... What happen ???
this is real music i was 18 when i first heard this song in nurnberg germany and i was one of the few african-american who groove to this along with my girl monica hicks who sang in a band called ffb(far from beyond) she had a good voice toooo. gdnx
Top music to settle down in a dirty weekend with a ho u met on Broadway, or Venice Beach. Settle down in da hotel room, get in the spa, drink champagne, eat strawberries ... take her down on all fours and bust her ass with your cock .... Splash that cum accross her titties and get her to lick the remaining drops off the floor.
@sebbbo77 heow yeh neighbor... daz wut im talking boutz. work dat trick! buss hur azzho wide open den dick slap a beeotch cross da face wit dat filthy stinky cock. em hmmmm. buss yo nut cross her eyes an get it all in her weave an shit.. GROOVE... 5000
This is pure genius. Soul, funk,R&B,rock. Boz put it all together. The guitar solo is dirty and tends to crack up. Exactly what the song needs. Emotional pain and you can feel it. The synthesizer with the buzzy sound adds to the underlying and dark feel, inspite of the lively up and disco-rock beat. I've listened to this track about 100 times to learn the guitar solo and another 300 just because I can't get enough. It's trance and hypnotic at the same time. I learned music from this album.
@lalodub YOU so right i wasn't even born in 70's i was born in 82' and i can't stand my generation music with the exception of some artist Angie Stone John Legend
I loved this song back then and I still love it. It gets better as the years go by.
