Free Music Notes for Definitive Hits
Free Music Review: O N L Y 5 ?!?
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm giving this C.D. 10 stars! There is nothing to nit-pick or complain about here. Listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, or Herb Alpert alone is pure pleasure. I was a little kid when my father played his Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass records - I enjoyed H. A. & T. B. then, I enjoy them now.As a woman, I can tell you that there is NO sexier love song in existence than Herb Alpert singing "This Guy's in Love with You." So simple, so smooth, so eloquent. Makes me so...tingly...
This is a fantastic antidote to the current stuff that passes for music out there today. With a few exceptions,I find most of today's "popular" music to be more about singers trying to impress us with their vocal gyrations & volume, and producers using their techno toys to fill in where an actual melody might work instead. Even my pop-music-loving kids have listened to this C.D. with me and have asked, "Hey, who IS this?"
The whole C.D. is fun, nostalgic, relaxing, and just cool. Simply stated, listening to this C.D. makes me happy.
Free Music Review: Where is the rest of the HA&theTB catalog?
Hit: 5 Stars
This record is a perfect example of why I never want the 'greatest hits' all in one package. Always buy the originals if they exist, except in this case they are not so easy to find. I want one CD with that cool 60's HA&theTB sound. The 60's songs are so much fun, and they're so light, and go down so easy, and if you lived through the 60's and 70's you could not escape this stuff -- this is absolutely one from 'Dad's record collection.' But, what is that effect? In the 80's all songs were recorded from a speaker at the bottom of a well -- is this like a reverb machine with the dials all cranked to 11? Okay, Rise was a good song, and it was just the perfect thing to play as the disco was cooling off for the night. But Rise and its cousins don't fit alongside the 60's stuff. Herb, if you're reading this, release the originals again on CD. And for the greatest hits set do a double-CD. Disk 1 with the 'TB'/60's Herb, disk 2 as 'Disco-Herb'.
Free Music Review: Herb With and Without The TJB! How Can You Go Wrong?
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD, released just 4 days before Herb's 66th birthday, is a great compilation and retrospect of one of the Recording Industry's biggest and brightest stars! Included on this CD is a combination mix of both Herb Alpert and the TJB's hits and Herb's solo career. My only disappointment is that some of the biggest hits are left out. It would probably take a 6 CD set to include a majority of the TJB's hits and Herb's solo hits, something that the dedicated Alpert fans and myself have been patiently waiting for. But, listening to this compilation, brings back pleasant memories of the sound that made Herb and the TJB a household word. Overall, the sound quality is better than past A&M releases, the song selection is good, and I highly recommend this CD to someone who is looking to find a Disc that offers music no longer heard on radio and is wanting to fill their collection with a solid Easy Listening/Jazz Compact Disc.Free Music Review: You're in for a definite treat....
Hit: 5 Stars
Herb Alpert has delivered in a big way yet again! Not only is it great to hear all of the Tijuana Brass classics (i.e. Tijuana Taxi and Lonely Bull), but on a sidenote, it was an even bigger surprise to learn that the more contemporary "Diamonds" has the sultry vocal accompaniment of none other than Janet Jackson!! Despite the song being about 14 years old or so, it still moves with the same rhythmic momentum as it ever did - all the songs do, bringing with them some great memories. Naturally, the compilation would be lacking without the inclusion of the passionate "Rise", as well as the heartfelt "This Guy's In Love With You." Truly there isn't much more a Herb Alpert fan could ask for, and it would also be the perfect CD for new fans of any age to listen to as a way of making their acquaintance with this definitive icon!Free Music Review: You're in for a definite treat....
