Format:Audio CD
The disc brings back days of yesteryear,every track, all of which makes for good listening.The tape I have had for years, had grown old like its owner,so I went a looking and found the disc.Any one of that era, will listen from start to finish, and remember, when music WAS music. Herb Alpert has a style he made all of his own.

This was the first LP by The Brass,the title track opens the proceedings and sounds just as if you were at a bull fight,Tijuana Sauerkraut is an uptempo number reminiscent of german OOMPAH music.Stuttin with Maria,Acapulco 1922 and Let it be me are good tracks ,this album is good but not as good asGoing PlacesSouth of the Borderthese two albums are more accessable two years in to the bands career.If you can afford it buy this series of original albums and avoid any greatest hit compilations.I've just ordered my sixth from the series(the Herb Alpert signature series).This is worth a listen.

The very first and still an excellent TJB album
17 Sep 2002
Format:Audio CD
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' "The Lonely Bull"--their first album, way back from 1962--confirms the astonishing amalgam of talent that made up this seminal instrumental group. Combining as it does trumpets, strong backing rhythms, and the occasional odd instrument like marimbas, vibraphones, and penny whistles, TJB puts their inimitable spin on every song on this must-have album.
"The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)" kicks off the album with a bang, showing the TJB's original strongly Mexican influences. "El Lobo" has a brooding, melancholy flavor to it, while still evincing a south-of-the-border flavor with its acoustic guitar and trumpet harmonies. "Tijuana Sauerkraut" was the first of TJB's many songs flavored with a fat and happy German-beer-drinking element. A musical friend has told me that "Desafinado" is a terrifically difficult song to play well because of its continuous switching from major to minor and because of its offbeat rhythms. It seems to have given the TJB no trouble whatever--it's done to perfection here. "Never on Sunday" is a lovely song with long, gleaming trumpet notes and a strong underpinning by the tuba. "Struttin' with Maria" has a contagious marching swagger to it, as does "Limbo Rock" which improbably has both a Mexican and a Mediterranean vibe--listen for the cracking of a whip in the background!
This is a classic for good reason, and a must for any serious fan of jazz brass playing. Alpert and his beloved Tijuana Brass ensemble are masters of their craft, and we are lucky that they recorded as many albums as they did--beginning with this very fine first effort.

Great music badly rendered
31 Dec 1999
Format:Audio CD
Either you like Herb Alpert or you don't. It's that simple. I do. Ever since I heard his "Lonely Bull" theme in the early sixties. I treasure my record albums since most of them are still not available on CD. This album was supposed to be replacing the oldest Alpert LP album in my possession. Finally without any clicks and hiss. Unfortunately not so. The clicks are gone, but a lot of tape hiss was added. A great opportunity lost. I have copied the CD tracks to my PC, removed the constant hiss and re-recorded it. Now *that*'s an improvement. But I think the CD is not near the LP original in quality.

Down Mexico Way
24 Sep 1998
Format:Audio CD
Herb Alpert's first album is an excursion into quasi-mariachi music. Trumpet lines in 3rds, mandolins, acoustic guitars, and percussion fills this record. And most of it is pretty good. It also contains a bit of jazz with "Desafinado" (where Alpert trades solos with marimba player Julius Wechter) and "Crawfish", which has Herb playing a hot muted trumpet solo. "Limbo Rock" is calypso romp. "Never On Sunday" is beautifully arranged. And the title tune is mesmerizing. A very good start for Herb and the TJB.
