He possessed a somewhat shy and sensitive demeanor never totally at home in the public eye, yet his claim to several chart-topping singles and albums, particularly the millions-selling and critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eSilk Degrees \u003c\/i\u003e(1976), demanded constant exposure. The persona he expressed through his music was laid back, effortlessly cool, sophisticated, stylish, romantically charming, and suave. But the immense success he achieved in his career pointed in part to the driven and determined artist within. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLowdown: The Music of Boz Scaggs \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eexamines the uniqueness of these contradictions and Boz Scaggs's sixty-plus-year career\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e and his rich and diverse musical catalogue.\u003c\/b\u003e Over the decades, Scaggs collaborated with an array of talented heavies, from the Steve Miller Band to the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (which included a young Duane Allman) on \u003ci\u003eBoz Scaggs \u003c\/i\u003e(1969), from the session players on \u003ci\u003eSilk Degrees \u003c\/i\u003e(1976) who would form the hit band Toto to Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald on the Dukes of September's 2010 Rhythm Revue tour. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis first-ever book on Boz\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e is constructed around intensely thorough analysis of his complete discography, and new and exclusive in-depth interviews with a selection of Scaggs's associated colleagues from his vast career.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJude Warne\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eAmerica, the Band: An Authorized Biography\u003c\/i\u003e and a contributor to the anthology \u003ci\u003eRag and Bones: An Exploration of the Band\u003c\/i\u003e.
