Everything from mellow soul numbers, to synth-heavy 80s disco boogie, Cruisin has it!

Originally released from Wenha in 1981, the debut album from Detroit soul singer William Odell Hughes is funky, soulful, and has all the best characteristics of an 80s album. Album opener and title track Cruisin is electrifying disco boogie a tune thatll make even the shyest of clubgoers want to get up and dance. In comparison, tracks like Where Am I are mellow, with Wendell Harrisons instantly recognizable flute playing and synth pads giving the track a warm, relaxed groove.But throughout it all, the influence of Wendell Harrison can still be heard, not only in his excellent performances, but also through his role as a co-writer. References to universal awareness are plentiful throughout, and despite the albums mellow sound, the spirituality of The Tribe remains a constant undertone; a gentle reminder of Wenhas roots. With a sound like this, its no wonder that this album has long been considered a grail for crate diggers around the world. Reissued for the first time ever, now with an obi-strip, this album has never looked or sounded this good!
