The jury is still out on which one of Boz Scaggs’ many hits is his definitive song, but you can probably bet on the 74-year-old soul-singer and composer to run through most of them when he headlines day two of the Tampa Bay Blues Festival (which technically kicks off on Friday with sets by Jonny Lang and Samantha Fish along with Curtis Salgado, J.T.

Other highlights for the weekend at Vinoy Park include Shemekia Copeland (playing just before Scaggs) and a Louisiana-flavored Sunday headlined by Tab Benoit. Get more info, and tell us your favorite Scaggs tune, below.
