Music reviews of Sro (Spkg)
Music Review: ¡Olé!
Rating: 5 Stars
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass remain one the best musical groups to come out of the 1960s; their "hey-day" from the 1960s still goes strong! This CD entitled S.R.O. (Standing Room Only) offers you an excellent assortment of eleven instrumental tracks as well as one song to which they sing the lyrics, "Mame." They may not be the greatest singers I ever heard; but their awesome, infectiously catchy melodies and relentless happiness and optimism more than compensate for this disappointment.
The CD starts off strong with the catchy "Our Day Will Come." And their day HAS come, believe me--and it's a day lasting several decades strong now! The horns, percussion and drums carry the melody well and infuse it with a type of Latin beat despite the fact that these gentlemen were not from Mexico. Great!
"I Will Wait For You" has a slower tempo that gives it a romantic effect; once again the horns and percussion carry the number very well.
Other great songs on this CD include "The Work Song" which they perform complete with a few grunts and groans to highlight that this number is about hard work done by inmates on a chain gang; "The Work Song" also brings to mind the horrors of slavery with its brutality and cruel work loads. "The Wall Street Rag" offers a relentlessly upbeat melody that you will enjoy; and "Mame" also displays such warmth and optimism that you just won't be able to resist jumping up and dancing right there in your living room!
The CD ends with "Flamingo" which employs tambourines in addition to the horns and percussion that are so fundamental to The Tijuana Brass style. Catchy and romantic both at the same time, "Flamingo" gives this album a strong ending.
The CD comes with a twenty page booklet replete with photos of The Tijuana Brass both in the studio and in concert. You also get the original liner notes for the record album release written by Chuck Champlin; a commentary by Herb Alpert himself and an extensive essay about the band by Josh Kun. Bernie Grundman did a terrific job of remastering the numbers on this album, too.
Overall, fans of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will consider this a "must-have" for their collections; and people who enjoy classic instrumentals and easy listening will enjoy this album, too. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will remain a strong force in the world of entertainment for quite some while to come because of their numerous superb releases during the 1960s.
¡Olé!
