Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

Sometimes the Memory is Better than the Reality.......2007-07-12
What a disappointment! I adored this record when it came out; it was so different than most then current pop music, calling upon traditions which we scarcely new of at the time. So while highly innovative pop music FOR IT'S TIME, I've since gone on to hear the real older music from which Pepper drew; after listening to Fletcher Henderson my standard for being impressed by innovation has risen considerably. Worse though, the HORRIBLE sound quality deemphsizes all the interesting effects George Martin got. Some of these same tunes are on the Yellow Submarine DVD; they sound fine there so maybe my memory isn't that bad. I'll bet the vinyl version is/was better.
Yuck.......2007-07-11
Sounds worn and dated. Sounded good maybe when you were on drugs in the sixties but now, it's drek.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.......2007-07-03
Good to hear this again after so many years. So many familiar songs on one album.
The Genius of the Beatles.......2007-07-02
I can't decribe how much I love this album. I strongly believe that this is the groups best album and the best album that's ever been released. It's meant to be a studio album and not played live cause the guys were just so sick of touring, and it just was the only way with this new direction they were going in.
Paul came up with the concept after hearing about Elvis' Car went "On Tour." He thought that Sgt.Pepper would be an interesting concept to have these alter egos, so the music "wouldn't be songs that they necessarily wrote, but Sgt.Pepper did." The opening track "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and " the Reprise are really the only songs that directly match up with the concept, but the songs inbetween are just as close to perfect as one could get them to be.
With a little help from my Friends is great, but I personally like Joe Cocker's version better (the one from the Wonder Years.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was written after a drawing Julian lennon did and commonly thought of to be a drug song. It's one of my favorite Lennon songs. I love the intro with Paul's Bass, it's so simple but it just hits my ear drums the right way.
Getting Better is about the time when John was really falling for Yoko.
I love George's guitar in Fixing a Hole. It sounds a lot like (Ticket to Ride)
She's Leaving Home is a sad song that's got McCartney written all over it.
The following track has that weird surreal circus sound that's very fitting for the album. George Martin was great at helping the group come up with new sounds.
Within You Without You often goes unnoticed i think. It's a great song by George, that I think is great, the sound, the lyrics, etc.
Lovely Rita and When I'm Sixty four are nice little tunes but not very fitting i don't think, I would have liked to have seen Strawberry Fields be on this album cause it was the first track recorded during the sessions and because it's a great lennon song.
I like the randomness of Good Morning Good Morning. The title comes from a Corn Flakes commerical that John overheard when he was writting one day.
A Day in the Life is right after the reprise. I love how John and Pau tied in their separate parts with a great orchestral crescendo. Everything just goes together and it just works.
Definitely pick this album up if you haven't or download it or check it out at your library cause it's a must have for any music fan or art fan cause this is such an important album in music history and it changed music forever, no joke.

Nobody makes somber sound more exquisite than Alison Krauss. She's come an awfully long way from her days as a teenage fiddle prodigy, as her glamour gown on this CD's cover suggests and the bittersweet maturity of the music confirms. Krauss exchanges her bluegrass fiddle for the chamber strains of viola on much of the material, including four songs by Robert Lee Castleman (whose "The Lucky One," "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," and "Forget About It" were previously popularized by Krauss). Castleman's compositions showcase the emotional intimacy and interpretive subtlety of her breathy trill. The yearning harmonies on "Wouldn't Be So Bad" (written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings) and "Borderline" (written by Sidney and Suzanne Cox) reinforce the album's restless spirit of quiet desperation. Change-of-pace contributions by Krauss's bandmates are more deeply rooted in the bluegrass/folk tradition, with Dan Tyminski renewing Del McCoury's "Rain Please Go Away" and Woody Guthrie's populist anthem "Pastures of Plenty"; Dobro master Jerry Douglas leads the charge on his instrumental "Unionhouse Branch." Few bands in bluegrass can match the virtuosity of Union Station's interplay, but the artistry of Alison Krauss transcends genre. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:
I LOVE this record!.......2007-07-12
I love this record, and I love the fact that Alison and the guys know where there talent lies. They never pretend to be something they're not. Any record of theirs is going to be your favorite. There is not a song on this record that I don't like. If you like this one, try their new one "A Hundred Miles or More". Same goes for that one. Very few singers in my experience are as good as Alison, so if you want to listen to music at it's purist, this is the record for you.
The sheer delight of Alison Krauss and band.......2007-07-01
I keep referring to "that goddess" when I hear her come on the radio or one of her tracks comes on my computer. My colleagues are used to me gushing about her. I say, I first fell in love with this diva as I discovered her in "O Brother, where art thou" and then again in "Cold Mountain". I was terribly hooked and several albums later I am a devoted fan of her and her band. They cannot do wrong, each album is full of fun, superb artistry on several instruments, incredibly good harmonies. What can I tell you? She is at the top of her genre and her contributions to those soundtracks shows a depth she can call on that certify her as a true gem. What a great talent and another great album.
Smart and Beautiful and Talented Allison.......2007-05-13
I love practically everything they do. Allison and Union Station. I love Bluegrass. Always have and always will. I have all of their CDs except for the newest one released this year. Soon I'll have it. I have a brand new favorite male singer. (Right up there with Don Gibson.) That would be Dan Tyminski. I just love the way he "pushes" those words out. After I found out that wasn't George singing in O Brother, I searched and searched for the song not even realizing it was on a CD I already had. Don't know how I missed it unless I was on the phone or something. I now play it over and over. There are lots and lots in these CDs that I absolutely can't get enough of. I play them all over and over.
An eclectic mix for Alison Krauss.......2007-05-12
She has some heart wrenchers and some upbeat jigs. A great CD to listen to any time--several different moods to choose from!
Bluegrass for mature rockers.......2007-05-07
AKUS has been the premier bluegrass act...forever. However they were off my radar since they played BLUEGRASS. I am a rocker. Then I clicked on Urge to catch and listen and I was hooked. This is Bluegrass? Alison's ethereal voice and her bands phenomenal playing have made me a convert. (ps. the singer from the Coen brothers' movie "O brother where art thou" is in this band)

One of the few contemporary bands to land a decidedly roots-rock song on the charts with 2004's Grammy-winning "Heaven," Los Lonely Boys solidified their status as youngsters with an established sound on their first disc. On this highly anticipated studio followup, all talk of the sophomore jinx dissipates with the opening soul-drenched riff rocker "My Way." Although horns are added for extra drama, the three Garza brothers nail this groove as Henry's Stevie Ray Vaughan-fortified guitar powers one of the boys' most fiery performances. Supporter and mentor Willie Nelson joins on the wah-wah driven, Waylon Jennings-styled "Outlaws," as does the brothers' musician father Enrique Sr. Tough midtempo ballads such as "Home" and the very Santana-ish "I Never Met a Woman" follow in the footsteps of "Heaven" as candidates for slow dance song of the year.
Anyone entranced by the Garzas' debut will be thrilled by this classy followup that tightens some of the loose ends but displays additional confidence resulting from two years of nearly nonstop road work. The band spotlights its Tex-Mex roots on the accordion-driven "Texican Style," where near-perfect vocal harmonies drive an irresistible bluesy shuffle. Most encouraging is that Los Lonely Boys haven't succumbed to commercial pressure since their surprise hit debut. Rather, they have refined and organically expanded their approach, and crafted another classy, committed, radio-friendly Americana gem that meshes blues, Mexican, and soul with a spicy topping of hot-sauce musicianship. --Hal Horowitz

Album Description
Since their worldwide breakout in 2004, Texican trio Los Lonely Boys - brothers Henry, JoJo and Ringo Garza - have achieved multi-platinum album sales, a Grammy Award (their monster hit 'Heaven' won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 2005), and widespread acclaim from critics, fans and other musicians. All those experiences and more inform their commanding, propulsive new album, 'Sacred,'.
'Sacred' finds the Boys writing and playing with a new confidence, stretching their subject matter and arrangements on the album's thirteen songs, all of which they wrote or co-wrote. 'Sacred' opens with the killer one-two punch of "Diamonds," the album's anthemic first single, and "My Way," a defiant guitar shuffle that reminds listeners why Guitar World magazine named Henry Garza the Breakthrough Artist of the Year in a 2005 cover story. "My Way" also finds LLBs adding a horn section to their signature mix for the first time. Elsewhere on the album, they add other new colors to their arrangements including button accordion, Hammond B3 and Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano and Henry's virtuosic Harmonica playing.
Other highlights on 'Sacred' include "I Never Met A Woman," the Boys' most soulful ballad to date, the impossibly catchy lament of "Roses," and "Outlaws," a song which features two distinguished guest vocalists: LLBs mentor Willie Nelson, and their father, Enrique Garza Sr. Mr. Garza - a talented Tejano and country musician in his own right - taught his sons to play their instruments, and enlisted them to be his backing band from an early age. His appearance on 'Sacred' brings the first family of Texican rock n' roll full circle.
Customer Reviews:
The return of soulful guitar.......2007-06-22
Only a handful of guys out there delivering the goods when it comes to really great guitar with soul. The Lonely Boys nail it though, on both of their records, and this one is worthy on the strength of four songs alone. You will problaby like more of it, too. The first three songs I cannot stop playing, and 'Outlaws' is also essential. I like the rest, but those four are pure pleasure. Open up the tiki bar on the back patio and add those four tunes to the mix, and discover a few others on the disc to add as well. Excellent stuff.
no go.......2007-06-08
loved their first cd - hated this one - not as original and seemed hurriedly put together
Loved it..................2007-05-13
Being a survivor of the 60's I hear so much of the greats in the Lonely Boys style. What a great recipe, A little Doobies, a dash of Santana and a sprinkle of those amazing Allman twin leads, one can't help but feel like you've been served up a 5 course meal. And of course, the cherry on top is their Texican style.
Lotsa heart & soul.......2007-03-08
These guys are beautiful, spiritual men. I saw them live at Tampa Theatre and they were just fabulous! Hearing the CD lets me recreate the evening over & over again! It's fun, upbeat music that you just can't help grooving to.

California's Los Lobos are the reigning kings of Tex-Mex/Rock Espanol. But this debut CD by the San Angelo, Texas band Los Lonely Boys might herald a changing of the guard. This is truly a band of brothers, led by guitarist/vocalist Henry Garza and his younger, bass-and-drum-playing siblings Jojo and Ringo. Like a lot of groups, they had to move away to achieve fame--in their case, to Nashville. But after the release of their EP, Willie Nelson heard them, put them on tour as his opening act, and recorded them at his studio. Stylistically, the Garza brothers' bilingual songs about love and life combine Stevie Ray Vaughan blues, Santana-style guitar licks and R&B. Nelson helps out on guitar, with Reese Wynans on keyboards. Produced by Keb Mo and B.B. King producer John Porter, the music is honest, driving, and down home, especially on the organ-filled uptempo tracks "Senorita" and "Tell Me Why." The stinging guitar solo on the Afro-anthemic "Onda" recalls the '70s grooves Santana built his chops on, while "The Answer" and "More than Love" are raw power ballads that show off this group's dynamism and diversity. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Simply Amazing!!!.......2007-07-13
I recently saw them in concert and they just blew me away! Listening to this CD just brings back the power of talent I discovered at their concert.I thought Heaven was great but hadn't listened to their other tracks and every song on this CD is really high caliber.They are true musicans. I can't believe how talented they are at this age. Track 8 Onda is my favorite! It moves me and reminds me of past, present and future. Past greats SRV,Santana, their present greatness & their wonderful future to come!
Orale Muchachos!!! Thank you Los Lonely Boys!!!!
Texas Trio Takes Tex-Mex To Top.......2007-06-07
Awesome music! My sister-in-law, a native Texan, turned me on to Los Lonely Boys a couple of years ago, and I haven't missed an album since. They have such a unique sound with a blues, Tex-mex, rock 'n roll mix that sets them apart from the crowd. I here the next Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Jimi Hendrix kind of talent coming from Henry Garza. And Ringo and JoJo can hold their own with many musicians playing much longer. I hope to be listening to Los Lonely Boys for many years to come!
blues? I think not.......2007-05-12
if this is blues i am hard of hearing. i find this ok i had a copy gave to me. not worth buying, i find it weak, and to say henery sounds like s.r.v. what an insult. what has the music industry come to if this is the best there is to offer.
Great Tex-Mex Blues Rock.......2007-03-09
In the great tradition of Los Lobos and Stevie Ray Vaughn, Los Lonely Boys provide a great selection of music.
Los Lonely Boys.......2007-02-23
Although I'm sure I'm not part of the target market for this album (over 50!)I absolutely LOVE this album. My son bought this for me a couple of Christmases ago, and as another reviewer mentioned, I listened to the whole CD without skipping any tracks and fell in love with the sound.
Both instumental and vocal harmonies are fabulous; no one voice or instrument overpowers another. If you enjoy good, harmonious guitar and vocals, you should listen to this CD. If you have a soul, you'll be hooked from the first note.

Amazon.com essential recording
Sarah Brightman's career was launched by her success in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, so it's no surprise to hear the soprano paying homage to the composer on this disc. Really a Brightman best-of, the album includes the Phantom theme (a duet with Michael Crawford), the light-opera fare of "Chanson D'enfance" from Aspects of Love, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from Evita, and numerous other Lloyd Webber classics. Throughout, Brightman's diminutive voice lends a fragility to these musical theater tunes that you'll either love or despise. On Evita's "Another Suitcase, Another Hall" and Cats' "Memory," she literally chirps through the vocal lines. No matter. The growing legion of Brightman fans wouldn't have it any other way. --Jason Verlinde

Sarah Brightman sings in good form classic songs and does a great job!!

Excellent Broadway music--a true master. Sing along or just listen. First heard her on PBS.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection.......2007-01-05
Sarah Brightman has always been a favorite of mine, and this CD is outstanding. The duet with Jose Carreras (Friends for Life) is especially good--worth buying the CD for that song alone.
The Best You'll See from Sarah.......2006-09-09
This CD is - wow! I have so much to say about it and so little time! This album features three pieces from "The Phantom of the Opera" - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, The Music of the Night, and The Phantom of the Opera theme. They're all beautiful. The second piece on the album is "Unexpected Song". It has beautiful octaves and orchastrations. Chanson d'Efance is an amazing French piece with vibrato - and then some. I forgot to mention that there is another piece from The Phantom of the Opera - All I Ask of You - except that the song is not sung by the original cast from the musical. The next few pieces are fairly decent, until you get to Memory from Cats. WOW - is it spectacular! Then we get to two other pieces from Cats - Gus: The Theater Cat and Macavity: The Mystery Cat. Gus is a song that just tells about a cat and his history. A man speaks the lines that Gus would say in the actual musical - and it makes the song interesting. Macavity is AWESOME! I know that I said that I didn't prefer this song for Brightman on her album "Surrender". I finally listened to it more carefully, and found that it's really interesting to listen to! My favorite song on the whole entire album - however - has to be "Tell Me on a Sunday". Beautiful lyrics, orchestrations, and overall spectacular voice talent ties the whole song together. Pie Jesu is a fairly nice piece from both Brightman and Paul Miles-Kingston - the 16 year old boy soprano. His voice is pure and straight with minimal vibrato. However, Brightman's voice shows a little bit TOO much vibrato! Overally, it's a good piece from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requium. THIS CD IS AMAZING! If you love Sarah from the Phantom of the Opera, then this collection of Lloyd Webber's work is just for you.
I also recommend Charlotte Church - (in her earlier career) - including Voice of an Angel and her self-titled album. I also recommend Love Changes Everything - The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection Vol.2 - just another grouping of Webber's classics. I also recommend Andrea Boucelli - he's awesome!
The Angel of Music.......2006-03-13
This is the third copy of this I've purchased. I wear them out listening to them. Awesome, Awesome music. Sarah's range and depth is so powerful!

Amazon.com essential recording
Look past the tacky, sad-clown velvet painting on the cover (a Grammy-winner for album design in 1959!), there's nothing cheap or sentimental about this record--the bleakest and blackest album of popular songs ever recorded, so quietly powerful it can leave you slumped in your chair with the ice cubes still rattling in your glass. Every single "suicide song" (as Sinatra liked to call 'em) on Only the Lonely is a stunner that will take your breath away. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are like shadows, almost colorless and motionless, so that all you hear is the ache in the singer's voice. "Angel Eyes" and "One for My Baby" each deserve an album to themselves-- so exquisitely moving that at the end of three minutes you feel like you've just heard a lifetime of loneliness. My only regret--and it's a big one--is that this flawless masterpiece doesn't include Billy Strayhorn's "Lush Life," which truly belongs here; Sinatra put it into an already overcrowded recording schedule and, when fatigue and the difficulty of the song defeated him after a couple takes, he gave up and never attempted it again. We got the chillingly lovely "Willow Weep For Me" instead, so I'm really not complaining--but that just adds to the pang of loss that this album expresses so vividly. Drink up! --Jim Emerson

Stunningly Unsurpassable.......2007-05-25
Firstly, please know that I am not anything remotely close to an afficiando when it comes to Frank;nonetheless, it's quite difficult for me to imagine that he has ever surpassed this absolute gem in his entire career. I can only believe, now and forever that he may? have equalled this brilliant effort but never surpassed it. From start to finish, the performance, the songwriting, arrangments,choice of songs and even the order in which they appear are amazing in every way. Frank's delivery is so pitch perfect that you instantly know that you have never heard better pure singing in your entire life by anyone and that you never will again. If you cannot feel the heartbreak, pain and utter despair that pervades this album, you have no heart, no soul and are so devoid of any real life that you may already be dead.The remastered sound is so crystaline and detailed that you will swear you are literally in the studio. Like Sinatra, I am also certain that this was also the apex for Nelson Riddle as well. On occasions that are ever so rare, it all comes together in deeply magical ways,and this is one such occasion. If you simply live and breathe, buy this NOW. Even if you neither live nor breathe but have a good healthy morbid curiosity about Frank you should still buy it. This album will make you feel things you have never felt, things you didn't even know you felt as it's truly that powerful and if I could I'd give it 100 stars.Think of this as the greatest works of Rembrandt,Picasso and Dali all combined into one magnicient work and then you have some understanding of the broad and achingly beautiful brush strokes that all combined somehow managed to paint here.Without a doubt this is one of the greatest works of art ever produced and a thousand years from now people will still care and still listen. When one encounters a work such as this, there is no test of time for time truly stops and the music is indelibly and universally timeless. Let's all drink a toast to Frank and the great Nelson Riddle for that and know that others will toast them forever as well. Only those on the wagon are excused.
The Greatest Album of All Time.......2007-05-02
The Beatles can't touch this. Full of tenderness and heartache. Only Kristin Hersh's work even aproaches it.
My only beef is on the recording of Where or When. At the end, when Frank hits the last note, his voiced gets very tinny and lost in the orchestral arrangement. Anyone else agree?
not just for the lonely.......2007-01-30
Here we have Frank at his best ,as he often said hes a saloon singer.
Each track makes you feel the heartache he is going through.
All the songs on this CD are aptly chosen,the usual timing,phraseing& diction which have become the hallmark of the greatest vocalist of the 20th & 21st century.
Sit them up Joe.......2006-11-06
The ultimate piano/vocal of all time, "it's a quarter till three!" Just the best
Only His Best.......2006-07-03
I've heard it said "SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS" is it, but since he himself considered his forte the saloon song/ballad - THIS IS SIMPLY FAS's BEST ALBUM EVER! Check out "Spring is Here" with Riddle doing pastiche Alfred Newman ("Bali Hai" and "March of the Siamese Children"...)

Album Description
The album that started the Herb Alpert phenomenon!
Originally released in 1962, The Lonely Bull was not only Herb Alpert's musical debut, but the first album released on A&M Records. "After experiencing my first bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico," Alpert recalls, "I was inspired to find a way to musically express what I felt while watching the wild responses of the crowd, and hearing the brass musicians introducing each new event with rousing fanfare."
The excitement translated, and The Lonely Bull was a stunning success. The title track hit the Billboard Top 10, as did the LP, which peaked at #10 and remained on the album chart for three years. The disc also includes the perennial stadium favorite "Never On Sunday," and the intricate, bossa nova-inflected "Desafinado." The cover, featuring Alpert toasting with a tequila glass, began a run of memorable TJB coversincluding the groundbreaking and unforgettable one featuring a barely covered model immortalized on the Whipped Cream & Other Delights.
Each album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.

PASS THE TEQUILA! AND LISTEN TO THE BRASS!.......2007-07-11
I have fond memories of the music of Herb Alpert! I was introduced to him at an early age as my parents were fans of his records. I didn't hear much of him again until I was coming of age in Wildwood N.J. at the age of 15 when I used to party under the boardwalk with my friends and our girlfriends underneath Hunt's Pier's "El Scrambler" ride. The ride played Herb Alpert tunes non stop! I guess you could say I became a "Man" underneath that pier with my first love listening to the Tijuana Brass. Later in life in my 30's I was taking a break from playing in a band in the local bars,I became a DJ and I would mix Herb Alpert in my mixes and buy shots of Tequila for my fans! To this day when I play these songs at parties we all look for the Tequila bottle! This is a one of a kind sound and if I were stranded on a desert island with only a few albums, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass would be included in that collection! This is an excellent album,but not his best! I no longer own the original records so, I can not say if the new cd's are true to the originals. They sound fantastic to my ear!
One of his first.......2007-04-12
One of Herb's first albums. It has a distinct "south of the border" sound that was lost in later albums. He plays the song that started it all "Lonely Bull." This album takes in all emotions, from happy and upbeat to the meditative "Quiet Tear" to the romantic "Let It Be Me". You've got to appreciate this type of music or you won't be happy with this album. I'm a big Herb Alpert fan so I love it.
All the boisterous noises, color and motion of the Tijuana streets--and one "Lonely Bull" that wouldn't be lonely for long.......2007-04-12
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass scored a major coup with their first album--and the first record on the A&M label--entitled The Lonely Bull. If anyone ever wanted to take a group of polished musicians and infuse great ballads from anywhere in the world, including Latin America, with their personal Latin American or Mexican style, Herb Alpert was the best man to do it--and do it he did.
The CD starts off with the titled track, "The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro.)" We hear the sounds of the bull fight and a few bars of the "La Virgin de la Macarena;" then the true melody begins. The horns, percussion and guitar all shine to make this melody a very special one; and the backup chorus adds to the greatness of this number. "El Lobo (The Wolf)" follows; again the horns, percussion and guitar carry the melody very well. "El Lobo (The Wolf)" also makes great use of the chimes at the end of this track. "Tijuana Sauerkraut" again uses the horns and drums to bat this traditional German flavored melody straight out of the ball park! The chorus on "Tijuana Sauerkraut" performs beautifully, too.
Other gems on this CD include the bossa nova flavored "Desafinado;" Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass perform this so elegantly. The melody charms you so much that you'll want to jump up, grab your sweetheart and dance--wherever you are! The musicians use the horns and percussion on "Desafinado" very well. In addition, "Never On Sunday" sports a continental flair with a Latin American beat superimposed over it that works very well. The backup chorus only enhances the loveliness of "Never On Sunday." In addition, "Struttin' With Maria" has a relentlessly happy and upbeat feel to it which highlights the joy a man feels as he walks alongside his one true love, Maria.
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass also perform a stunning rendition of "Let It Be Me." The artists slow down the tempo considerably as they use the horns and percussion to make this classic love ballad more romantic than ever. This is truly music for lovers!
"Limbo Rock" sports a powerful upbeat melody as the horns and percussion carry the melody. The cries of the musicians and the male chorus add a very special human, playful element to "Limbo Rock."
The CD ends fittingly with the stately sounding "A Quiet Tear (Lágrima Quieta)." "A Quiet Tear (Lágrima Quieta)" begins with tambourines added to the horns to enhance the stateliness of this number and to infuse it with a Mexican flavor as well. The backup chorus also helps to make this a fine ending for the CD.
The liner notes include commentary by Herb Alpert and the art work reflects good judgment.
Fans of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will consider this release to be a "must-have" for their collections; and people who enjoy easy listening music from the 1960s will enjoy this CD as well. Moreover, if you like music that emphasizes the role of the trumpet, you can't go wrong with this CD.
¡Olé!
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass (The Lonely Bull).......2007-02-14
Before the Tijuana Brass, Herb Alpert was a jazz musician who picked up the trumpet at age eight. His idol was Clifford Brown. During the 50's, Alpert was active in the music buisness, producing albums for Jan & Dean and working with Sam Cooke, and other pop artists of the day.
While creating A&M records, which would go on to be one of the largest record companies in the world) with his partner Jerry Moss, Alpert was inspired by the music from a Bullfight in 1962 to make an album of those sounds.
The answer; The Lonely Bull. The title song, written by pianist Sol Lake, went on to become a smash. Alpert was a star, and this is the album that went along with the single.
A happy care-free set of instrumentals with heavy latin, and some jazz influence. Overall this is a nice album. This album would only hint at the success Alpert would endure, during the 1960's.
If you're not familiar with Herb Alpert's music and want to be, this wouldn't be a bad place to start, but there are many other terrific albums that have a slightly different sound than this one does.
The Lonely Bull.......2007-02-01
I purchased this album on a reel-to-reel tape in the early sixties and loved it then. I love this CD even more now. Thanks.

Customer Reviews:
Love this CD.......2007-07-05
Had this when it came out on LP--didn't even know it was ON cd til just now, and I ordered it. Take it for what it is, a timepiece from the period. The Bee Gees in the mid to late 70's were as dominant as the Beatles were in the 60's. PS- CHICAGO was offered the "Got To Get You" song and passed.
to those disco freaks that love cheesy films!.......2007-04-19
Yes, I'm a HUGE fan of Peter Frampton and the Brothers Gibb and I'm an even BIGGER fan of cheesy films. I've been hunting down this soundtrack on CD since wearing out the VHS I checked out from the library. After having the DVD fall on my foot at my local Walgreen's (and watching it 7 times over 3 days), I'm now starting my search again for the awesome soundtrack. I'm a bit miffed that the tracks are out of order, but it's no big deal. If you love Frampton's guitar work, the BeeGee's vocals, and a cheesy film from '78 to boot, then by all means, get it. For those haters that don't like disco-fied Beatles covers, well, all I can say to them is pfft (oh, and not buy it if they're going to just fuss and cuss about how it's not 'right').
Why would you buy it then?.......2007-03-20
Looking at the previous review I wonder...Did you see the movie? if you did then you heard all the tracks before buying the cd. Yes the movie was corny and campy...and I'm glad it didn't turn out to be like Xanadu (largly due to the fact that no one had to act, they just sang the parts) but it still leads me to wonder why would you buy the soundtrack to a movie you felt like was a flop? I enjoyed the music therefore I will most likely buy this cd. I enjoyed the movie as well (sucker for the Bee Gees)...
Good Music.......2007-03-17
This sound track from the movie is a very good remake of the Beatles tunes. I enjoyed the movie back years ago and enjoy the music again now...
Excellent Purchase.......2007-01-10
This item was exactly as advertised. It arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to do business with this seller again in the future.

Salute to America.......2006-07-27
Very similar in quality and music to I Love A Parade and a very upbeat reminder of why we are a patriotic nation. The arrangements and quality of the songs are great.
A good choice but..........2005-06-29
It is not the best CD that I have bought but it is an honest one. The orchestration is good, the choice of tunes is excellent and the tunes are well played. As you know, it is always difficult to say : I like it or I hate it because hearing a CD is a question of personal point of view. In my case, I may not say that I like it or I hate it, I prefer some other orchestration but it us a good CD.
Ho-Hum.......2005-06-08
I wanted some rousing marching music. This album is half asleep. The sound quality is poor. Apparently Mr. Williams writes better music than he conducts.
"Boston Pops".. Alway's do the Job!.......2001-10-03
John Williams/Boston Pops.. Salute to America.
And they do! They salute America! This is a wonderful C.D
Battle Hymn of the Republic, is great..
New York, New York,will bring tears to your eyes!
12 renditions in all..
All these are performed wonderfully, and well worth the money!
I would recommend this to anyone who loves patriotic music, it will stir the heart and soul of Americans....
Full-Spirited.......2000-09-02
I'm a classical music/opera person for the most part. But I find this CD entralling. Even the organization of the CD is ideal-almost like a symphony--with the rousing Candide Overture and the musical medleys at the beginning, the patriotic songs as the B section, and the Dixieland and other music from American musicals to finish up. And I particularly like the orchestration of the medleys. A wonderful CD.

As the frontman for the Mavericks and a member of Los Super Seven, Raul Malo has applied his Orbison-like delivery to an eclectic array of material. On this, his latest solo effort, the warbler enlists veteran producer Peter Asher to focus on romantic balladry, as string-laden arrangements surround Malo's tremulous voice on the opening title track (a '70s hit for songwriter J.D. Souther) and the soaring "Feels Like Home" (reprised as the closer in a duet with Martina McBride). The song selection highlights Malo's vocal range, as he finds the bittersweet essence in a slowed-down rendition of the Everly Brothers' "So Sad," a dramatic reading of the Bee Gees' "Run to Me," and a lilting take on Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart." He even tackles Etta James's signature tune, "At Last," its jazzy, smoky sophistication punctuated by a trumpet solo. The cover of Willie Nelson's "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground" provides the album's main link to country, but even here the bedrock organ and soul choir sound closer to the church than the roadhouse. The stellar selection provides a superb showcase for Malo's shimmering voice. --Don McLeese

Beautiful singing.......2007-05-12
We love this cd and have given it to several friends who feel the same way.Beautiful singing and arrangements of classic songs.
superb.......2007-05-07
He leaves me speechless. I just discovered him a few months ago. He has the most unique, engaging voice and interpretive approach to music that I have heard in my lifetime. I am 60 years old and love all kinds of music. Comparing him to Frank Sinatra is an insult. He can sing rings around him and every one else ...What a talent.
Beautiful........2007-04-09
One could wax poetic about Raul Malo's voice, never doing it justice. His voice is amazing...whether he is singing a standard, rock, country, or Latin; he sings with grace, and infectious enthusiasm.
I highly recommend his two other solo efforts too. "Today" is so much fun! "Nashville Acoustic Sessions" just terrific.
Peter Asher's production is so "clean" nothing out of place or excessive. I hope Malo and Asher team up again soon.
Lori Virginia.......2007-04-03
