Boz Scaggs - Ask Me Bout' Nothin' But The Blues

Just a beatifull cover of this unknown Bobby Bland song.
Not on the tube so far.
11-07-2010 Hi Its nice to see that a lot of people are picking up on this song since i put it on in January 2009. Maybe Lady Ga Ga would have done better but allaz it's quality that counts.
A great Bobby Bland devotee myself i cant make up which is the best his or Boz's version.
Luckily I Don't have to - i got both versions.
What strikes me the most is the energy that goes through the Boz Band on this date, when they play the song.
They looove it !!!! Same with the Bozz himself. He knows his roots and as a great Texan is passing it on.
I heard from Bobby Bland first on the great cover of the Band on Moondog matinee in i think 1971 of "Share Your love" and checked him futher out.
The Band as teenagers "The Hawks" with Ronnie Hawkins had two albums in 1962 that they loved to death;
The Rockin' Chair Album from Howlin' Wolf 1962 and "Two Steps from the blues" from Bobby 1961. Could be worse ! Read Greil Marcus about it.
"Share Your love" is of course from "Call on me" from 1963.
The Band made Moondog Matinee a lp full of covers of their favorite songs and where simply passing it on ( as Keith Richards would say ).
That's what this lot of muscians is doing here, Passing it on. I hope you young ones out there pick up on that.
For Boz, me myself from Holland, we don't ever get to see him here and that's a pity. You americans are lucky !
Boz don't needs my support he's doing fine , but I think that he is still seriously underrated as artists, singer en guitarplayer.

The Bluesssss ......... is aaaall.... I was left... wiiiiiith !!!!!

Bozz is so at home with blues as he started out as a blues man before embracing R&B.

Boz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is stunning! Immaculate! flawless! Moving! True! The Truest!!

This Boz masterpiece moves me to tears every time I hear it!

After I listen and feel this piece I have to transition to up & funky grooves for at least an hour!! It's the only way I can snap out of where this song takes me.

This has been my favorite Bobby ' Blue ' Bland song for quite a while, but I had never heard anyone cover it. Boz Skaggs does it a lot of justice. I just added this video to my favorites. My favorites are about full and they are all great videos. You all should check it out.
