Courtesy of: Virgin Records. "I've wanted to do this rhythm and blues album for a long time," says Boz Scaggs about his new Virgin Record release, Come On Home. "I grew on this music, and this record is a tribute to some of my heroes, some of the great R&B singers, songwriters, and musicians." It includes 14 classic rhythm and blues cuts -- shuffles, laments, love songs, and rockers. Come On Home stands assuredly alongside the best records of this multi-talented singer's career, as much a tribute to a rich musical tradition as a testament to Boz Scaggs' place within that tradition. "Love Letters," originally recorded by Ketty Lester, was introduced to Scaggs when Steeley Dan's Walter Becker suggested it for inclusion on the Rock and Roll Soul Revue (a show organized by Donald Fagen in 1992 which included Scaggs in the stellar line-up). "I tried out a Solomon Burke approach to the song," Scaggs says, "slowing it down, singing it very deliberately. I found the lyrics very touching, very poignant." Undoubtedly, so will you.
