Boz Scaggs – “Silk Degrees” (Columbia Records, 1976)
Pretty sure Boz and Steve Miller went to high school with my uncle at St. Mark's in Dallas. So, there's that. Scagg's seventh album was both his commercial and creative zenith. The blues-tinged soft rock radiates blue skies, sandy beaches, and cocktails. He’d left the Steve Miller Band needing to prove himself and with this album he did.The cover photo was taken by Moshe Brakha , “born in Israel, and reborn in Hollywood.” His career spans decades and media. The wingspan of his subjects is wide too - he’s captured LA’s brash, hedonistic charm, from movie stars to bartenders, musicians to groupies.
