HMV Review

Both artistically and commercially, Boz Scaggs had his greatest success with Silk Degrees. The laid-back singer hit the R&B charts in a big way with the addictive, sly Lowdown (which has been sampled by more than a few rappers and remains a favorite among baby-boomer soul fans) and expressed his love of smooth soul music almost as well on the appealing What Can I Say. But Scaggs was essentially a pop/rocker, and in that area he has a considerable amount of fun on Lido Shuffle (another major hit single), What Do You Want the Girl to Do, and Jump Street. Meanwhile, We're All Alone and Harbor Lights became staples on adult contemporary radio. Though not remarkable, the ballads have more heart than most of the bland material dominating that format. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

    ラップミュージックなどが市場に出回っていなかった1970年代には60年代のシンガーソングライター・ブームが続いており、多くの人が「歌」や「歌心」を大切にしていた。それは日本も米国も同様である。 そいて大切されていた「歌」に趣味の良い衣装を纏わせたのが本作である。 良い曲、洗練されたアレンジ、腕の確かなミュージシャンたち。 現在の「歌心」が失われた世界に生きる若い人にこそ聴いて頂きたい。
