Nightcruising Tracklist. 1. Nightcruising Lyrics.
In the late '70s to mid-'80s, The Bar-Kays found their hit-making groove and "Nightcruising" doesn't disappoint. Both songs by themselves are nearly worth purchasing the long-time-coming album. If you can keep in mind this was an early '80s album and stomach some of the period sounds, "Nightcruising" is an above average effort.
Album: Nightcruising. Duration: 35:04 Year: 1981. 0:00 ? The Bar-Kays albums.

Nightcruising is an album by the Memphis, Tennessee-based R&B group The Bar-Kays, released on Mercury Records in November 1981. The album reached number six on the Billboard R&B albums chart. Nightcruising is considered one of the Bar-Kays' best albums, and was their third to be certified Gold for sales of over 500,000 copies. Studio album by. The Bar-Kays.
Best described, perhaps, as contemporary and more urban dance, Nightcruising showcased the band in fine form. Multiple lineup changes hadn't detracted too much from their overall proficiency, a seamless sound ineffably aided by their long-term relationship with producer Allen Jones. The sonics here are slick, bright, and punchy, and when the Bar-Kays are good they're nearly unstoppable, a trait best experienced across the hits "Hit and Run" and the deliciously lunatic "Freaky Behavior," which is packed with electronic antics and just a hint of Rick James styling.
