Anybody heard the whole LP? I have only listened to a couple cuts of it and am really digging it.

Been a long time fan. Didn't realize he had a new album out. Will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Saw him on Conan last week. His voice sounds as good as ever.

From what I have heard so far, I'd give it a serious look for sure. It has nice mellow, retro groove to it.

You know, despite Silk Degrees, I have had Down Two Then Left since it was released in the late 1970s, and it's still great. A soulful, jazzy voice.

How does it compare to Dig? This is the most recent album I have from Boz. Thanks.

Thats a good one also :thmbsp: I pretty much lost track of his newer stuff after Come on Home was released.

I dug "Dig," but I could not get into "But Beautiful, Standards Vol. 1." I'll keep an ear out for Boz's new release.

Is the title track the Kurt Weill/Ogden Nash song?

Didn't realize he had another album out. He's a regular on my ipod when I'm riding one of the bikes.

I sampled all the tracks. Handful at a time they sound pretty good, but listening to them all, the songs kinda ran together.

My wifey picked it up for me as part of my Christmas gift and I have been listening to it a little yesterday and this morning.

Your right in some regard. There is not much variation in the mood of the tracks but makes for a very pleasant listen. Great production and recording on this one.

It's got the right groove for me. I like it :thmbsp:

i particularly like 'but beautiful', it seems he is maturing as a jazz singer. guess i'll have to get the new one.
