Album Notes & Community Reviews
Supported by a legendary session crew that would soon form Toto, Boz Scaggs effortlessly defined the impeccably smooth, highly sophisticated sound of Yacht Rock. 'Silk Degrees' is a remarkably lush, wildly successful commercial triumph, balancing fiercely melodic, beautifully nocturnal blue-eyed soul with incredibly warm, deeply sentimental disco-infused pop.
