Boz Scaggs on "Memphis"

The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 18, 2013

Rock legend Boz Scaggs talks about his latest album, "Memphis," a love letter of sorts to the album's namesake city that showcases both original songs and choice covers.  William Royce “Boz” Scaggs began a long and storied career in 1965 with the release of his first solo recording “Boz.” He developed into an iconic singer songwriter, playing with Steve Miller and honing his rock and R&B chops working with the likes of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Duane Allman.
