A long time favorite of mine and my first response when anyone suggests there’s no such thing as “white soul”
Lots of different people make this one of the greatest recorded blues pieces ever. EVER.
Thank you. Huge Boz Scaggs fan.
One of my favorite buried treasures! Ashamed to be a snob but I was damned surprised when I first heard it - never knew Boz had THAT MUCH in him. I get so happy when I find someone else who appreciates these recordings. You probably know about the Clapton/Allman recordings as well? These collaborations are pure joy.
Great song.
Boz was also in The Steve Miller Band (early)
Wife and I saw Boz a few years back in Nashville at the Ryman. Very good show, if anyone gets a chance to see him I’d recommend going. He did ‘Loan Me A Dime’ during the encore, a lot of his early stuff also. He did a few covers, Chuck Berry and even Willy Deville (’Spanish Stroll’). The show wasn’t over the top loud, so the wife was happy, and wasn’t too long. He played for about an hour, came back for a 20 minute encore. Unlike some other older artists, he wasn’t just going through the motions, he clearly enjoys performing.

I love almost everything Boz has done...except Loan Me A Dime. It’s about 9 minutes too long; one of the most boring, stupid songs ever. I admit it has sentimental value to some because of Duane Allman, but anyone can let loose a stinker now and then. Sorry, but I can’t abide an artist who ruins their work by beating a riff to death.
