Pablo Cruise

In 1975 Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Franciscos Golden Gate Park and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band, David Jenkins (guitars & vocals), Cory Lerios (keyboards & vocals), Steve Price (drums) & Bud Cockrell (bass & vocals) was nowhere in sight. At that point there was a bit of a mystique as to who Pablo Cruise really was. When asked, whos Pablo, the band, which is a quartet, would answer, hes the guy in the middle. When asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this,Pablo,represents an honest, real, down to earth individual; and Cruise, depicts his fun loving, easy going attitude towards life. In essence thats what Pablo Cruises music is all about. Honest, real, down to earth vocals, accompanied by fun yet elegant, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one thing, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event.
