A performance by Boz Scaggs and his band is quite an experience. The air is absolutely electric. SCAGGS & BAND San Francisco was the first to Boz pick up on Boz. And now he's spread it cluding: Love Time . Rames Of Ruinin Blue .' Monkey through the rest of the country. "our Place. / Love iilyWE^/ No:hing 1/.111 Tale The new album is a combination of the energy that a Boz Scaggs perform- ance generates, and of the subtle, lovely music that Boz creates. His new single,"Runnin' Blue," has been getting FM air play all over the country. And some of the most important Top -40 stations are already on it. If you haven't seen Boz live, it may sound hard to combine blasting, driving, horn -band rock and roll, and gentle fluid lyricism. But fortunately you can be as easily convinced as the rest of the country:

Within two weeks it has sold over 70,000 copies.
