      Well. I’m almost 78. Love this music Dancing around my kitchen. 😀😀😀. Going to introduce to my yoga club tomorrow. Usually it’s Pete Tong. Goes great with. Qgong tapping plus cross crawl exercises. Good for left and right brain balance to start and warm up. Then on to some series chill music for yoga and meditation. We need balance all things Loud and quiet. Light and dark. The 80 yr olds love it 😀😀 🌈💜

      That’s what happens when you combine Boz’s incredible talent and songwriting with Jeff Porcaro on drums, David Hungate on bass, and David Paich on keyboards (who also co-wrote 6 songs and arranged the whole album). Essentially, showcasing the first three members of what would, in just one year, become TOTO.

      Damn right! His Toto partner Steve Lukather summed up best: There were a lot of guys who played faster or with more chops, but there is no living soul alive who played a groove like him. When you think of drums, a lot of people think of technique, but really, drums are a rhythm instrument, and the basis of all music is the rhythm. And the basis of all grooves is the drums. I could play just straight 8th notes, and he could play something and it would make me sound Godlike. It's all finesse. It's that little extra something. You either have it or you don't. He was touched by God when he was born.

    The Album Silk Degrees is an R&B musical masterpiece. It is timeless. I was a teenager when this album came out. Now, in 2024 at the age of nearly 64, it sounds as crisp, as it did back in 1978. This is Skaggs perennial "genius album."

    Jeff Porcaro’s drum kit front and center - such a lovely groove and he sustains it for five minutes. Paich’s composing and keyboards are perfection. And Boz tells the story with such soul. Boz and David (Paich) never thought this one would be a hit, but here we are decades later. It’s still fresh and still a hit. And that is the lowdown on “Lowdown”.

      Though young, was there when it came out and stopped what I was doing the 1st time I heard it and even understood most of the lyrics as a kid:). But it was a hit out the box as soon as that DJ (in Cleveland or Cincy) started playing it from the album. And guessing sometime in the 90s I read they didn't think it would be a hit. Which should tell you how hard that process is.

    Reading these comments brings me back to the old adage......"Good is Good and Classics will remain CLASSICS" This is when music was music. Boz Scaggs, Stealy Dan, Joe Jackson, Doobie Brothers, Eagles. The quality of these groups, the quality of their music, musicianship. From the get-go, it all had staying power. So, here we are 60 and 70 years later it still sounds New and fresh.
    That's just the view from my saddle.

    Had the opportunity to see Boz in concert this past weekend. At 78 his voice is still as clear and unique as it was the day “Lowdown” was released, which is unusual in older rockers. He’s a wealthy man and tours just because he likes to and doesn’t need to and it’s clear in his show he’s having fun. And his current band is talented and tight too. They play every note perfectly, on time, with a drummer AND a separate percussionist with bongos, two keyboardists, one who also plays the woodwinds, a funky bass player who doesn’t miss a beat on “Lowdown” and another fellow guitarist who looks like he’s been playing with Boz for quite some time. And of course Boz can still run off a good riff on his axe too! If you get the chance, go see his show - you won’t regret it and he’ll have the crowd dancing in the aisles!

One or two songs in 5 years maybe are worth listening to. I take myself back to the days of my HS years and just relax to the best music the world has ever know. 60/70's. None better.

    Ladies and Gentlemen this funk was laid down for free. Before Boz Scaggs released Silk Degrees his record label was about to kick him to the curb. However his friends in Toto agreed to do the sessions free to save him some money. Amazing isn't it just imagine how great this would have been had they gotten paid. Not that it's bad though just saying. The groove Jeff Porcaro lays down is amazing as is David Hungate's Bass.

      You could argue they played for the enjoyment of it and not for money which meant they were not just turning up for a paycheck and so could put themselves more into the music.

    • @Gunners_Mate_Guns
