Boz Scaggs will take a second dip into the standards repertoire and Decca Records will make sure he is eligible for the best traditional pop vocal album Grammy by releasing his album on the awards' final date of eligibility.
"Speak Low" will be released on vinyl on Sept. 30 and in all other forms on Oct. 28.
Gil Goldstein produced, arranged and plays piano on the record. Rest of the quartet backing Scaggs is Alex Acuña (drums), Bob Sheppard (woodwinds), and Scott Colley (bass). Intriguingly, his website has a a Japanese poster for a show featuring Toto as a co-headliner; the members of Toto were Boz's backing band  during his "Silk Degrees" heyday.
