The Boney 500: Album #114

114. SILK DEGREES-BOZ SCAGGS (1976)

Smooth R & B flavored pop. I don't even mind the disco influence on some of the songs. "Lido Shuffle" is a great
driving song.

He is one of the most under-appreciated musicians around. His live shows these days are filled with authentic, amazing blues, which you can tell is his wheelhouse genre, to borrow a phrase from Vandal.

He's playing one show on Toto's tour, which I would love to see but it's too much hassle.

This is a terrific album. Georgia and What Do You Want the Girl to Do put a smile on my face every time and the ballads, We're All Alone and Harbor Lights, are extremely heartfelt.

An excellent choice!

One of my top 50 favorites. I don't know as many albums as you, so it may be about the same spot.

The entity I call RadioDude is actually the morning DJ on my favorite radio station. The RadioDude of a dozen or so years ago loved Boz Scaggs. I probably know most of the songs on this album.
