Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

The Lonely Bull

out-of-print classic album, from instrumental pop genius and A&M co-founder, now available from High Coin

Originally released in 1962, 'The Lonely Bull' was Herb Alpert's musical debut, and the first album released on A&M Records.  Inspired by the excitement of the bullring, 'The Lonely Bull' was a stunning success.  The title track hit the Billboard Top 10, as did the LP, which peaked at number 10 and remained on the album chart for three years.  The disc also includes the perennial stadium favourite 'Never On Sunday', and the intricate, bossa nova-inflected 'Desafinado'.  The cover, featuring Alpert toasting with a tequila glass, began a run of memorable TJB covers.
