Memphis

"The supple, grainy throes of Scaggs' voice invigorate old-school hits for Tyrone Davis and the Moments, and ballads by Tony Joe White and Steely Dan. Scaggs' two originals, "Gone Baby Gone" and "Sunny Gone," evoke his 1976 smash, Silk Degrees - if he had cut it for the local Hi label with the late, great producer Willie Mitchell".

"His lower register is drenched in a meld of R&B, jazz, and his own classic pop balladry -- à la "Harbor Lights" -- carry his delivery which sends Memphis whispering off with a touch of melancholy elegance. This set is a stunner. Scaggs is in full possession of that iconic voice; he delivers songs with an endemic empathy and intimacy that make them sound like living, breathing stories".
