Uncool for many (not @Tim) I'm not a huge fan of the Silk Degrees era, probably due to being overplayed and everywhere when growing up but it is quite obviously quality in musicianship and worth another listen.
Lots of Boz's discography is really worth picking through though. He came full circle back to his 60s blues band origins over time and his period with the Muscle Shoals backing guys is really good.
That song and album is incredibly evocative for me both when it came out and again when I rediscovered it. Epic and pretty happy times in my life.

@Crucial That whole album is great, and that song is an all timer. Toto were the backing band, as they were for Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Excellent backing band and musicians but their songs are shite (IMO). Pedant alert though. 'Toto' didn't exist as a band when Silk degrees was recorded.
I certainly appreciate the craft of the album but really don't find the songs themselves age well.
Much prefer his period with Duane Allman and his 'rootsier' stuff. Maybe for the other thread. -

Song that I love to keep it on topic.

@Crucial his Live at the Great American Music Hall album is a goody.
Lost all his toys and a lifetimes memorabilia to California wild fire a few years back. I visited his vineyard in 2008.
Living the dream. Acclaimed musician, no real money issues, semi-retire to produce Syrah

@broughie Yeah, he’s a very understated guitarist. On this track I like the combination of his guitar and the pedal steel which never quite descends into C&W. The hammond sounds almost Roy Phillips 60s swing which I can usually take or leave, but here it works.

Been listening to the Rock 2000 countdown this past month. Staggered to hear my fave 3 rock bands in the top 3 songs overall, Metallica Foo Fighters and Lynyrd Skynyrd. But the song I thought would top it finished around 30. Freebird. They were awesome in Taupo and I love so many of their songs but never thought that Simple Man was one of the very best. New number one of all time... Go figure.
At last I feel justified singing and bopping to these 3 bands when I hear them in public... -

I think there is/was a specific thread for that.
And it reminded me of a whole heap of "uncool" music which I secretly enjoyed, and wanted to add to a "dangerous-mood-setting-motorbike-riding-playlist" - which definitely included at least one Kid Rock song. -

I get a bit stuffed on a thread like this because probably a lot of music I like could be uncool. I pretty keen on blues music and going back to stuff from 1920s etc, but I also get into some folk type music, and have a tendency to get hooked on wirters, especially thase who write a bit different stuff in lyrics etc, like Dylan, John Prine, Chis Smithers etc. Also will get into a bit of Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. So should have plenty of uncool stuff, my Mrs moans at some of it enough!

It’s a clever mash up of two crap songs to create the ultimate crap song.
