Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
Genre-hopping singer/guitarist’s hit-laden 1976 set
After dabbling in early 70s soul, Scaggs shifted towards a more mainstream pop-funk approach on this 10-song opus, bolstered by three live versions taken from a Los Angeles set that year. Opener What Can I Say? flagged up the disco-tinged pop-rock that would see him enter the US Top Five with the brassy, strings-laden Lowdown.�It presaged Toto’s Georgy Porgy and featured that band’s Jeff Porcaro and David Paich. Their breezy light-rock touch is evident throughout, the building beat of Georgia something akin to Gerry Rafferty, though Jump Street dons a Mott The Hoople glam tone and vocal inflexion. Harbor Lights could be Billy Joel going salsa, Love Me Tomorrow has a calypso lilt and the rolling synths of the mid-tempo Lido Shuffle could be his ol’ mucker, Elton John.
