Some might dismiss the music of Boz Skaggs out of hand as insubstantial 1970s commercial fare, yet his blend of blue-eyed soul, easy grooves, jazzy textures, disco sheen, and keen pop instincts holds up surprisingly well. And the tracks on HITS! are a case in point. The original compilation, released in 1980, was expanded and re-released in 2006 to include 15 tracks, and represents the best from Skaggs's peak years at Columbia. "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo" are here, as are the smashes "Lowdown" and "Lido Shuffle," among others. Anyone who grew up within earshot of a radio in the '70s will recognize many of these tunes, but HITS! isn't just a nostalgia exercise--It provides an excellent overview of the artist's smooth, sophisticated pop-rock oeuvre.
