He and his band continue to tour worldwide and Scaggs also performs alongside Donald Fagan and Michael McDonald in their band billed as The Dukes of September. Within that collaboration, throughout his career and especially evident in MEMPHIS, Scaggs unique voice and trademark sound make plain his abiding respect for a wide spectrum of American roots music.
Special Guest, Rayland Baxter is also appearing. Growing up, Baxter's father Bucky (a multi-instrumentalist for Bob Dylan, Steve Earle and Ryan Adams, among others) made sure music was just a natural part of life, a soundtrack to childhood."I grew up around pedal steel melodies," Baxter says, "not knowing how later in life it would shape me and how I sing or place lyrics in a song."
Baxter has since graduated from mustachioed indie-folk singer-songwriter about town, pusher of a self-released EP and go-to show-opener to the full-length national debut of an impressive batch of songs titled Feathers & Fishhooks
His songs are a calming force for anyone looking for change, for love, or wanting to walk in a different direction—because it was his own quest for all those things that motivated the music. "I had nothing to write about until I was 25. I had to live through a lot," he says, "and when I sing I don't hold back. I'll cry on stage if I came to it. It's an emotional release for me, and there's no makeup on it. It puts me at ease, and that's what I hope it will do for those who listen."
