About this album

Touch Of Silk is a polished soul-jazz album that highlights Eric Gale’s fluid, understated guitar style. Released in 1980, it finds the sought-after New York session guitarist stepping forward with a leader date that balances melodic warmth, jazz phrasing and contemporary R&B polish. Gale was already well known for his work across jazz, soul and pop sessions, and this album reflects that versatility in concise, relaxed performances. The set includes a graceful reading of With You I’m Born Again alongside material that draws on blues, jazz and crossover groove, making it a strong example of the smooth but musicianly jazz-fusion sound of the era.
