Silk Degrees

Boz Scaggs

1970s studio precision. Slick, soulful, and deeply urban, it bridges the gap between bluesy rock and the polished future of pop.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate 'midnight in the city' record that basically invented the slickest parts of the 70s.

A sophisticated blend of urban confidence and late-night vulnerability.
