MOMENTS is the third album, from 1971, from American pop singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs. It features 10 tracks including "We Were Always Sweethearts", "Downright Women", and "Painted Bells".

If his 1969 eponymous debut found Boz Scaggs digging down deep and creating some gritty soul-rock, highlighted by Duane Allman's extended work-out on "Loan Me a Dime," his 1971 follow-up Moments -- his first album for CBS -- found him sketching out the blue-eyed soul that would eventually bring him fame when he streamlined it for 1976's Silk Degrees. Boz Scaggs was a Southern record, but Moments is thoroughly Californian, sun-bleached and brightly colored, easily gliding along smooth surfaces. In the hands of producer Glyn Johns, Scaggs doesn't have any rough edges, and the change suits him well, as his soft, soulful croon almost cries out for a setting this lush, one that's just this side of being louche. Although Scaggs would go that down the gauche road in the '70s, Moments is far from the glitzy disco of Silk Degrees and its spawn. This is thoroughly a '60s hangover, right down to how the country shuffle of "Alone, Alone" slides between the warm soul grooves of the rest of the album. Most of this is decidedly laid-back -- the casually funky grind of "I Will Forever Sing (The Blues)" and slyly funny boogie of "Hollywood Blues" callbacks to the Southern strut of the debut, are the exception, not the rule -- and while this is mellow, it's not lazy: it's a relaxed exploration. By the time "Can I Make It Last (Or Will It Just Be Over)" quietly drifts away on extended instrumental coda, setting like a sun into the ocean, Scaggs has started down the path toward his signature blue-eyed soul. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

5 stars Boz Rules............
I absolutely love this album, it takes me back to a very innocent time. We were in love and we played Downright Woman over and over........... That was in 1974, we made love in a renovated chickencoop and washed ourselves in the creek behind it. Sad to say, I am no longer with my first love but I still listen to the album and the sweetest memories come to mind. How 'bout putting that tune on your next CD, Boz? Did get to see you live and you were just spectacular.

5 stars I saw the "Moments" show at the Fillmore West in 1971.
Of course, I went out and bought "Moments" the next day. Guess my kids still have that 35 yr old LP somewhere, even though they don't have a record player. But I put some of "Moments" on tape and still play "I Will Forever Sing the Blues" regularly in my car's CD player. How about putting that cut on your next disk, Boz? It ROCKS! (and besides, it's true, you still are singing the blues...) I sat on the floor that night in the Spring of 1971 right in front of the stage and marvelled at the best rock n' roll I'd ever heard; a week earlier the same spot was covered with Deadheads with their ears plastered onto the giant sound system, but Boz's trumpets, and trombones, and sax and you name it were miles and miles ahead of all that. Those guys really, really knew how to turn on an audience. "Moments" has it all, slow to fast, blues to ballad to outright rock, and a few genres that hadn't even been invented yet, and all performed impeccably well by every single member of that rather large group. Quality, in a word. You can hear foreshadows of everything that was to follow. To remaster that music and put it out on CD after all those years .... well, it's about time to treat the next billion people that hadn't been born in the early '70's to some of the best stuff recorded back then.

5 stars AMAZING!
This Lp was my introduction to Boz Scaggs in 1970. I became a 'Boz Scaggs 'LIFER' because of it. Here's how good this album is: I took My Lp of Moments to college and it was stolen by a frat bruh! I hope I can get the REMASTERED CD of this collection. I have received the remastered CDs 'Down Two The Left', 'Boz Scaggs and Band', and 'My Time' ...and they are FAR SUPERIOR to the US releases that I have.

4 stars that was then...
I used to catch boz playing around town (the bay area) during this period as the Boz Scaggs Quintet, not long after he left the miller band. having not heard moments in years, it all come back what a superb talent he is, and listening to the songs, the lucrative direction he took later in his career makes sense. if you're not hip to his earlier stuff, the anthology is a great starting point. afterward, this is an example of some amazing "advanced boz." that was "mainstream music" back then, people, twentysomethings fooling around with blues, samba, R&B, and beautiful textures without A&R knuckleheads telling musicians to stay focused on radio hits. too bad this is available only as an expensive import. so it goes in the US music industry.

5 stars Boz at his best!!!!!
Blues and rock and roll. Wonderful music from back in the day...if that's what you like. I always loved this one and honestly never found the same feeling in his later albums. Recently, he's sounded much more like the old days..back to his roots?? Anyway, give it a try. You'll thank me.
