The title "Unalome" is a Buddhist symbol that represents the path to personal transcendence and enlightenment, concepts that Buster Williams, a devout Buddhist, has explored throughout his life and career. He states. I believe that life should be a series of ascending steps. And Unalome is the latest step in a glorious journey that I have certainly taken so far." Throughout the album, the songs are more moist, and the compositions make the most of Gene Baylor's elongated voice and the light tones of his vibraphone.
