Boz Scaggs: Silk Degrees
Album #262 - February 1976
Back in 1976, we were not yet aware of the social ramifications that were starting to burble underneath the surface, so “Silk Degrees” was judged simply as an incredibly well-produced and arranged album with well-written songs that were performed with intricate attention to detail. In other words, it did a fabulous job of representing exactly what represented pop/rock and roll in 1976.
