Title: Classic stuff
Review: A great album esp the first half. The second half is a little thinner, more latin than you might like. The vocals are a little up-front sometimes, but the album has a live feel to it. The small combo is a treat to hear. The first tune of course is the classic that everyone will recognize, and evokes the 60's immediately. The only complaint I might have is that the album is extremely short, with 10 songs and the two longest of those are just under 3 minutes. There's less than 1/2 hr of music on this album. A great debut from an icon of the period. I wish Herb Alpert had played at least one little solo somewhere, but he was only interested enough to put his name on it, not to play on it. By the way if you like the French electronica group Stereolab, this will show you where they got a lot of their sound.
