Nice compilation of tracks by James "D Train" Williams – one of the most soulful artists to arise from the early 80s New York club scene of labels. The tracks are all produced by Hubert Eaves, and they feature a lot of nice keyboard work – presumably from Eaves as well. ... (Soul) read moreCD
James D-Train Williams' first album for a major label – and a really great follow-up to the indie success of his initial recordings for Prelude Records!
