Herb Alpert: The Lonely Bull (CD)

(Almo Properties) 12 tracks - digipac 20 page booklet

Released in 1962, The Lonely Bull was not only Herb Alpert's musical debut, but also the first album released on A&M Records. “After experiencing my first bullfight in Tijuana, Mexico,” Alpert recalls, ”I was inspired to find a way to express musically what I was feeling as I watched the wild reactions of the crowd and heard the brass musicians introduce each new event with rousing fanfare.” The enthusiasm carried over and The Lonely Bull became an overwhelming success. The title track reached the Billboard Top 10, as did the LP, which peaked at No. 10 and stayed in the album charts for three years. The record also includes the perennial favorite “Never On Sunday” and the intricate, bossa nova-inspired “Desafinado.” The cover, featuring Alpert toasting with a tequila glass, kicked off a string of memorable TJB covers - including the groundbreaking and unforgettable cover featuring a barely veiled model immortalized on the album Whipped Cream & Other Delights.

"Herb Alpert"

Herb Alpert, born March 31, 1937, took up the trumpet at eight and was turned on to jazz while in the US Atrny. His early career was as a songwriter, in partnership with Lou Adler, writing for Keen Records, notably the Sam Cooke/ Herman's Hermits hit 'Wonderful World'. They became producers for Dore Records, handling the early hits by Jan and Dean and together with Lou Rawls set up Shardee, but after friction over Alpert's own recording and acting ambitions they separated.

Acting took him no further than being an extra for The Ten Commandments, and initi-ally recording was equally fruitless. He found a new partner, Jerry Moss, a promoter and coproducer of the sole Dore Alpert single for RCA, and they set up Carnival Records, later A&M. Their third venture was the Mexican sounding 'The Lonely Bull' by the Tijuana Brass, on A&M. It launched simultaneously Herb Alpert re-cording star and middle-of-the-road label executive.

He became a household name with a run of gold albums, sell-out concerts and television specials. In 1969, facing declining popularity, he took a five-year sabbatical, concentrating on the production side of A&M and discovering the Carpenters
