''Silk Degrees'' is an album released by Boz Scaggs on the Columbia Records label in 1976 . The album reached #2 on the Billboard pop chart.

The album marked Scaggs' commercial zenith, mainly spearheaded by the R & B - Soul hit "Lowdown". The album is a mix of straight Pop - Rock tracks ("Jump Street" and "Lido Shuffle"), smooth soul compositions ("What Can I Say" and "Lowdown") and appealing ballads ("Harbor Lights" and "We're All Alone").

"Lowdown" reached the top 5 on the club play, black, disco and pop charts with its peak at #3 on the pop chart. "It's Over", "What Can I Say" and "Lido Shuffle" reached #38, #42 and #11, respectively, on the pop chart.
