701 Franklin Ave. is the third solo studio album by James "D-Train" Williams, known also as part of the American urban/post-disco group D-Train. The record was released in 2009 through "Jungshin Inc." It is D'Train's first Studio album in more than 20 years.

Background and overview

James "D'Train" Williams first had an idea for a third solo studio album back in 2001; when he founded his own music label "Jungshin Inc". He had originally intended for it to be released sometime between 2005 and 2006. While performing at Paris in 2003, D'Train did a special live version of his 1982 hit "Keep On", which would later be a bonus track on the album.

For unknown reasons, D'Train did not release the album when intended to. He did however; in 2006 release his first single to the album titled "Ride With Me". He finally released it in 2009. The album was completely produced and arranged by himself. The album contains 14 tracks, one of them being a third version of the "D'Train Theme" which he originally recorded while working with Herbert Eaves in 1982.

D'Train's fourth studio album was stated for release in 2015, supposedly it was going to contain some of the recent collaborations with music mixer Lenny Fontana.^[1]
