Our Take

In a world full of bland, cookie-cutter music, HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS burst onto the scene like a bull in a china shop with their debut album "Lonely Bull." This record is a whirlwind of Mariachi melodies, jazz-infused instrumentals, and enough brass to make your ears ring for days.

From the opening track, "The Lonely Bull," you are transported to a smoky cantina in Mexico, sipping on a margarita and swaying to the infectious rhythms. Alpert's trumpet playing is smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over the lively backing band like a seasoned matador in the ring.

Songs like "Acercate Mas" and "El Lobo" showcase the band's ability to blend traditional Mexican music with a jazzy twist, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The arrangements are tight, the production is crisp, and the energy is infectious.

However, there are moments where the album veers into cheesy territory, with tracks like "Crea Mi Amor" feeling a bit too saccharine for their own good. Despite this, the sheer joy and exuberance of the music shine through, making "Lonely Bull" a must-listen for anyone in need of a musical pick-me-up.

In conclusion, HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS have crafted a debut album that is as fun as it is quirky, as infectious as it is unique. "Lonely Bull" is a wild ride through the streets of Tijuana, and one that you won't want to get off anytime soon. So grab your sombrero, pour yourself a tequila, and let the brass take you on a musical journey like no other. Ole!
