Boz Scaggs - Detour (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

Sometimes in life, an unexpected detour leads you right where you belong. Boz Scaggs’ captivating new album is proof of that.

“I had no intention of making a record when I started singing these songs,” the Grammy-winner confesses. “It was all very casual at first, just an opportunity to explore a style of music I’ve always liked, to get together with a friend and play for the sheer joy of it.”

Detour, Scaggs’ first new studio album in seven years, is more than just a sonic diversion, though; it’s a love letter to the Great American Songbook. Recorded over the course of the last several years with pianist Seth Asarnow, the collection finds Scaggs interpreting timeless standards with tender insight and profound emotional sophistication. The tracks here began life as a series of demos for Scaggs’ personal use as he expanded his vocal stylings, but it soon became apparent that there was something magical about the performances and arrangements, something undeniable that deserved to see the light of day. The result is an eclectic mix of the familiar and the obscure that tips its hat to everything from Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to Irma Thomas and Lonnie Johnson, an elegant reimagining of old favorites and new discoveries delivered with both reverence and a fresh perspective.
