Why This Record Matters
Middle Man blends polished pop, R&B, jazz, and rock, with Boz Scaggs’ smooth vocals backed by David Foster’s keyboards and arrangements and a strong group of session musicians. “Jojo” and “Breakdown Dead Ahead” bring the groove, while “Simone” and “You Can Have Me Anytime” show the album’s softer, romantic side.
