Boz Scaggs had a hit album some decades ago called "Silk Degrees." Does anyone know how it got its name? Usually it's easy to find out how an album got its name by searching online, but in this case I can't find an explanation. There isn't a song on the album called "Silk Degrees." It is cool to know how things got their name.

Hi /r/music. I've been listening to this album obsessively for the last month or two, and couldn't find a decent discussion about it anywhere, so I thought I'd make one.

I was first introduced to this album by my dad who would play it in the car during road trips. At the time, Lido Shuffle was always my favorite song.

Once we made the transition from cds to ipods, somehow Silk Degrees got lost in the mix, and I went many years without listening to it.

During that time, I started listening to MF DOOM, and got acquainted with his Special Herbs beat tape series. One of those beats contained a sample that I loved and felt I weirdly recognized from somewhere.

So I looked it up, and lo and behold, it was sampled from Lowdown, which of course is one of the most incredible songs on Silk Degrees.

This got me back listening to Silk Degrees, which blows me away every time I listen to it. It covers many genres of music while doing all of them very well, in my opinion. The standouts to me are What Can I Say, Georgia, Harbor Lights, Lowdown, and It's Over, but every song is great in its own way. It is some of the smoothest, tightest music ever made, Boz Scaggs has a unique voice, and the lyrics cover a lot of different topics.

After reading about it on wikipedia, I also found out that many of the studio musicians who worked on this album worked with Steely Dan, which explains why the instrumentals are so top notch.

Anybody else still listening to this album in 2016?
