 Scaggs wanted to watch some of the recording sessions at Muscle Shoals anonymously, so Wenner gave him a "Rolling Stone" press badge to visit the studio and interact with the studio musicians.During this visit, Scaggs met several musicians that would appear on "Boz Scaggs", including Duane Allman, Roger Hawkins, and David Hood.Scaggs and Wenner wanted Allman to be one of the prominent guitarists on the album, but after calling Muscle Shoals they found out Allman had moved to Macon, Georgia, and was in the process of forming what would become the Allman Brothers Band.
