Here's the most amazing Boz Story--found this on a website devoted to
Swedish artists:
MERRYMEN WITH BOZ
Searchin'
(single: Karusell KFF 835, 1965)
In 1976-77 Boz Scaggs made his big breakthrough with the album "Silk
Degrees" and the songs "Lowdown," "What Can I say?" and "Lido Shuffle."
His newest fans certainly had no idea that already in the mid-60s he had
recorded a completely different album in Sweden, which now is, to say the
least, a much-sought-after collector's item. He made, besides that, a short
guest appearance in the Rolling Stones influenced group Merrymen, where Bo
Hansson and Bill Öhrström were the lead members. This guest appearance was
very successful, at least judging from the terrific version of the old
Coasters song.
I have heard "Searchin' " on a great LP called SEARCHIN' FOR SHAKES, an
album of 60s Swedish rock. Has anyone heard the album mentioned above?
I love the BOZ SCAGGS album on Atlantic---it's a great companion piece to
Dusty Springfield's DUSTY IN MEMPHIS.
