OK, you listened to two of my very favorite albums yesterday in Blood and Chocolate and Siren. But I want to talk about Boz Scaggs.
Your post (from 2013, it looks like) about Memphis inspired me to buy that album. I thought it was great--still do. I enjoy the two albums he's released after it as well. All three albums have well-chosen covers mixed in with some originals that fit right in. In fact, I listened to A Fool To Care just last week and still found it satisfying.
Sild Degrees was always a favorite, even all the way back in high school.

Just looked at Christ Wright of Chrysalis Records on Wikipedia and thought you'd be amused by this:
In 1971, Chrysalis Music signed David Bowie to a publishing deal but Wright was on tour in the US with Ten Years After when Ellis, his business partner, listened to a white-label copy of "Hunky Dory", and turned down the chance to sign the singer to a recording contract. "You get some right and you get some wrong," Wright reflected.
