"Other Roads" shows Boz Scaggs' amazing versatility as an artist. He pours his soul -- not to mention his one-of-a-kind vocals -- into rock, blues, pop and jazz, to make a music that is uniquely his. Like ballads? "Heart of Mine" is a classic. If you're more into fusion, the tight, funky guitar and keyboard instrumentals in "Mental Shakedown" and "Crimes of Passion" will definitely get your attention. Each track on this album explores melody, lyrics and arrangement for a very satisfying listen. Boz freely ventures down 'other roads,' and lucky us ... we get to go along and see the musical stuff he's made of.
