Hit: 5 Stars
South Of The Border remains one of best albums by Herb Alpert &The Tijuana Brass to this day. Alpert & The Tijuana Brass put out some great numbers on this mostly instrumental CD that cannot be ignored. You'll see why when you listen to this CD.
The CD opens with an energetic tune called "South Of The Border." The horns and percussion are played to perfection and the catchy melody leaves you wanting more. And more is exactly what you're going to get.
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass perform "The Girl From Ipanema" to perfection. The percussion, horns and drums all combine to give this number a 60's Latin beat that shines brightly like a golden nugget! I love that beautiful horn solo as the male chorus hums just a little bit in the background. "Hello, Dolly!" gets the royal treatment with a down to earth quality both at the same time; again, the horns and percussion carry the melody. However, the special treat is the Hispanic male chorus singing a verse of "Hello Dolly!" with their Spanish accents. I laughed with delight as I listened several times to this track--you'll love it just as much as I did. "Hello, Dolly!" charms the listener.
"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" merges a classic Broadway show tune with the Spanish sounds of The Tijuana Brass and the result has a great deal of elegance. The percussion, drums and horn combine to turn out "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" very well; the slow tempo infuses the track with a certain extra special romantic flair.
"Mexican Shuffle" possessed yet another relentlessly happy and infectious beat; love those maracas! "El Presidente" has a superimposed sound clip of the crowds supposedly cheering their president; this is one of the few things about this CD I don't like. Fortunately it is a minor disappointment.
"All My Loving" shows yet again that these great artists were not afraid to do a cover of a great musical ballad; they perform The Beatles' "All My Loving" to perfection. The CD ends with "Adiós, Mi Corazón;" this romantic and melancholy ballad is performed without a single superfluous note. Great!
The liner notes include great photos of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass; and there are essays by Herb Alpert and Josh Kun. You get the song credits, too.
Fans of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will consider this to be a "must have" for their collections; and people who enjoy easy listening and Latin music from the 1960s will enjoy this CD, too.
¡Olé!
