A Fool to Care is the eighteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs. It was released in the US on March 31, 2015, and in the UK on March 30, 2015, on 429 Records. The album was the second in a three-album series celebrating American roots music ( Memphis being released in 2013 and Out of the Blues in 2018). The front cover was by Danny Clinch who photographed Scaggs in Conzelman Road, Sausalito, California. [3]
Rolling Stone writes, "These 12 songs map out a concise history of American soul, with a heavy dose of New Orleans strut... Backed throughout by a stellar group of studio aces — guitarist Ray Parker Jr., bassist Willie Weeks and drummer Steve Jordan, who also produced the album — Scaggs’ well-worn, textured voice deftly navigates this range of styles." [2]
Blues Rock Review writes, "On each song, Scaggs puts his decades of experience and emotional connections to American roots music to work, producing a collection that stands as one of this year’s best blues records to date." [4]
