US trumpeter Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass third album release South Of The Border began a long run of massive album hits featuring their easy listening style. (US:6)
"It showed Herb’s magic touch on some of the era’s most popular hits. Covers of Jobim’s The Girl From Ipanema and The Beatles’ All My Loving were set alongside Spanish love songs."
"Musically, this is arguably Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass' finest material. If you haven't auditioned this music, I hope that you give it a go."
"This is one of the greatest albums ever. Herb Alpert was one of the few that could compete with the intense popularity of The Beatles and Stones."
"This early effort from Herb Alpert features the title track. The opening to it brings to mind bullfights, lovely senoritas and fiestas."
"This is a one of a kind sound and if I were stranded on a desert island with only a few albums, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass would be included in that collection. This is one of his best albums."
"Mexican Shuffle is featured on this album. It is the only hit here, but the rest of the album is very good. For the first time, Alpert demonstrates his knack for arranging, taking a completely left turn on Jobim's classic Girl From Ipanema, and The Beatles' All My Loving. Overall, the Mexican feel is still evident in this album, perhaps the last album that would showcase this."
"Just listen to the fantastic craftsmanship that went into the making of this album. There isn't a bad song here. The Brass just roll effortlessly through each song. Wow! Thanks to Herb for releasing this unbelievable album all those years ago."
