Ooooh you're right. Heads again. biggrin

Gadd was god on drums.
During the CTI sessions period he had a distinctive snare sound that I loved.

a few notables...
Hubert Laws - Moment's Notice - from In The Beginning
George Benson - Full Compass - from Bad Benson

Check out his album "Dig", very good, on par with lowdown and silk degrees in my opinion.
Saw him live in Amsterdam last year and guess who was on keys.....Ricky Peterson!
Great live as well.

No way - Ricky Peterson plays keys for Boz Scaggs? Who woulda thunk it?

It's like there's nobody Gadd DIDN'T work with back in the '70s. I've never heard an album with him on drums where I wasn't impressed with his playing.

There were too many great musicians on the Heads album for me not to like it.

Somewhere in the middle of that album I lost interest in the whole pop-jazz genre.

Boz Scaggs just released a 2-CD Live set,and a Live DVD as well.In 2001,he released a briilliant CD called 'Dig'.It's his best album since 'Silk Degrees' music

Speaking of 'Silk Degrees'....that CD really,really needs to be remastered.

I agree.'Dig' is a VERY good album,easily his strongest work since 'Silk Degrees'.One track in particular---"Miss Riddle"----has quickly become my favorite Boz Scaggs song.

Yeah, "Lowdown" is very, very funky. The bassline and the guitar parts throughout the song, especially towards the end, the interplay is very cool. Always dug that song. Bozz did double duty with "Lowdown" getting airplay on black stations and then getting airplay with his other hit "Lido" which I also dig.

Yeah,'Silk Degrees' was a hit-fiiled album....

"It's Over"
"Lowdown"
"Lido Shuffle"
"We're All Alone"


I'm not sure,but I think that the opening track "What Can I Do" was also released as a single.I seem to remember hearing it on the radio back in 76/77.This is one album that needs to be remastered asap.

I agree. This is a prime example of how a lot of albums were made in the 70's. Good, solid hit material that was a natural crossover.
