![]() Boz Scaggs (1969) [ larger cover art ] |
I'll be long gone
By the time you make up your mind
Gotta make my own way
Around the kinda misery I find
I'll send you my best
Of regards and the rest
I'll leave up to your own sense of time
Yes I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I've made up my mind... to make my life shine
I'll be high flyin'
By the time you come round to me
Todays a new day
Different from tomorrow you'll see
Good luck with your path
But it wasn't built to last
Or we might take it differently
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I've made up my mind... to make my life shine
Good luck with your path
But it wasn't built to last
Or we might take it differently
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I've made up my mind
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
I'm gonna get up and make my life shine
Get up... yeah yeah yeah........

| ncollingridge (Knebworth, UK) | Posted: Jan 19, 2012 - 11:34 Stunning. Shame it doesn't seem to be available as an MP3 anywhere I could buy it. |
| fizixidiot (200 miles east of the Dakotas) | Posted: Jan 19, 2012 - 11:28 Good to hear Boz. I still like the early Steve Miller Band stuff when Boz was with Steve. |
| Tana (Lancaster, PA) | Posted: Jan 19, 2012 - 11:27 number7 wrote: Thanks, I loved his early stuff. Too bad he went what schmaltzy? Yeah ... Loan Me a Dime with Duane Allman on guitar is deeply classic blues. However, I saw Boz in concert last year and he was surprisingly energetic. And his voice sounded exactly the same as always. |

I'm familiar with exactly 2 Boz cuts (Lido & Lowdown), and while both are listed in the Radio Paradise library, neither of 'em have ever been played here. Sounds like you're probably OK with that, if "Silk Degrees" is considered part of his schmaltzy period...is it? |

| Xeric (Montana) | Posted: Feb 05, 2011 - 18:21 And Zep II continues to be represented by that "Dred Zeppelin" abomination. Which is evidence that one probably would have to take such a correction directly to Bill. Me, I'm apparently too lazy to do that. |

| kencav (New Jersey) | Posted: Sep 18, 2009 - 09:08 Boz! a big fan way back when...hard to believe this album was released in '69! This was his second release after leaving the Steve Miller band. The cover art shown was from Silk Degrees in '76. This song was on this album: ![]() |

| jagdriver (Tunin' in from the aptly-named Grass Valley, CA) | Posted: Mar 12, 2009 - 13:13 Boz is simply terrific. His Dig CD from 2000 is outstanding. |

An old FM rock station in San Antonio Called KISS FM used to play his classic "Somebody Loan Me a Dime" pretty regularly. It is a long song, but every minute is a treasure. That is where I was introduced to his guitar player, Les Dudek. ........ well ......Dwayne is no slouch on Loan Me a Dime either......... |

| bachbeet | Posted: Aug 03, 2008 - 09:21 "This song is not from the album pictured — it's from a much earlier Boz Scaggs album." Yes, it's from his debut solo album just after he left the Steve Miller Band. Pretty sure it was right after the Sailor album (which had the hit Livin in the USA). Self titled debut solo album with some great session men on it. Some songs were country tinged and others were blues, rock and jazz influenced. An excellent album. His Loan me a Dime was a definite crowd fave at his live shows. |
