Boz Scaggs is a unique and fabulous singer. His soulful voice can be silky and sensual as well as funky and upbeat, depending on the mood of the song, but always irresistible. The ten great songs of "Silk Degrees" are an ideal opportunity for Boz Scaggs to demonstrate the range of his voice.
Scaggs, also an accomplished composer, wrote three of the tracks and co-wrote five others with David Paich. Paich contributed the wonderful "Love Me Tomorrow," while the remaining song is a reinterpretation of Allen Toussaint's excellent "What Do You Want the Girl To Do." Stylistically, all compositions are pop and rock influenced philly soul.
The production is very professional and refined thanks to the arrangements of Toto's future keyboardist David Paich, Sid Sharp's orchestral direction (strings and brass) as well as the soulful backing vocals and last but not least the skill of all musicians involved. A classic of elegant and well-made music!
