Anthology is the latest Rock CD put by the gifted Duane Allman, who again delivered a brilliant collection of songs. I am sure that Duane Allman fans and fans like rock, be happy with it.
It grabs your attention from the firstborn note with BB King Medley: hourglass: Sweet Little Angel / It's my fault / How may you get Blue and does not let go until the last note of the last song Little Martha, which is another outstanding track by the road.
One of the nicest things in regards to a CD like this when the talent is so prolific, but Rock is not your bestloved genre you still may not stop to be grateful for the greatness of the artist.
If you're even a little bit rock will be grateful for this CD. Anthology is a frequent statement in progress. I give my thumbs turn. You will not be disappointed with a single track.
While this entire CD is in truth very good a great deal of of my favorites are track 6 - Games People Play, Track 3 - Please Be With Me, and track 10 - Little Martha
My Best Pick, and the pain [... As in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - BB King Medley: Hour Glass: Sweet Little Angel / It's my fault / How Blue Can You Get. Wow

Sometimes I am not thrilled with the sound of the remastered versions. It seems that so much more may be done, like with the recent re-release of ELO's Out of the Blue (which is very good, but could have been better). Silk Degrees comes alive on this version. The songs, of course, are wonderful, as any person looking at this already knows and in all probability has owned it in more than one format. The sound is what draws you in and will keep you coming back, I know I will. Hopefully the rest of the fantasti Scaggs releases will get the same treatment. Be sure to buy this one and possibly there will be more.
18 of 20 persons found the following review helpful. The sound of the '70s By hyperbolium Few albums encapsulate America of the mid-70s as with no problems or difficulties as Scaggs' 1976 mercantile breakthrough. The bluesy-rock origins he sang with Steve Miller and the blue-eyed R&B he recorded since his 1969 solo debut provided a foundation for something more polished and sophisticated. The key was a production sound that took in the elements of disco - strings, horns, synthesizers and danceable beats - but didn't cast Scaggs' soul into slickness. The resulting record grabbed dancers by their velvet lapels and compelled radio listeners to the record store. Scaggs made the urbane turn Robert Palmer would visualize on video in the '80s.
"Silk Degrees" wasn't wholly unprecedented, even amid Scaggs catalog; he'd already been edging in this direction, bathing in the blues and soul of collaborations with Duane Allman and the Muscle Shoals rhythm section. His preceding LP, 1974's "Slow Dancer," boasted horns, strings and a heap of embryonic disco rhythms, but it didn't have Joe Wissert's sharp production or the L.A. studio rhythm division anchored by drummer Jeff Porcaro and bassist David Hungate. The blend of Porcaro's crisp playing and Hungate's lightly funky low strings gives rise to a propulsive groove allround the album. Their percussive opening on "Lowdown" is just one of the album's outstanding instrumental moments -- and a usual sample to this day.
Scaggs' songs brimmed with optimism, fitting perfectly into an America that was still re-awakening from the debacles of Vietnam and Richard Nixon, and readying itself for a bicentennial celebration. The horn charts carried the warmth of an L.A. summer, and Scaggs is - for the initial time at album length - altogether at ease. The album sparkles with the band's intense studio craft, but still feels effortless and organic. Scaggs' tenor fits both the mid-tempo numbers and the soaring ballads with unforgettable perfection. If you were an American high school student in 1976, you no doubt have fond memories of slow-dancing to the six-minute "Harbor Lights."
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Some of the best crafted pop music of the 1970s By DJ Joe Sixpack Boz Scaggs, or this album in particular, is one of the enduring "guitly pleasures" of my misspent youth in the '70s... Now, I didn't own this album back then -- you didn't have to, since just when it comes to each track on here got tons of radio airplay, all through the disco era. It's whiteboy soul of the most eminent order -- slick, modern, immaculately invented but likewise soulful and sung with outstanding passion. This 2007 reissue/remaster boasts terrifi sound quality as well as a trio of live tunes ("What Can I Say," "Jump Street" and "It's Over") recorded at a show in LA's the Greek Theater that demonstrate that Scaggs and "Silk Degrees" weren't just an in-the-studio phenomenon. One of the classic '70s albums that actually stands up well over the decades.
I thought I was the only who was annoyed by that strange beep in Lowdown. Have been curious about it for years but most people don’t seem to notice. Any clue what it is? Sure is distracting and sounds more like a recording glitch (a battery was about to run out?) than any true artistic addition.
