Alongside the jingle of car keys being placed in a bowl, trumpeter Herb Alpert's horn work with the Tijuana Brass was the sound of the swinging '60s. Yielding five No. 1 hits, nine Grammy Awards, 14 platinum and 15 gold albums, plus a staggering 72 million albums sold worldwide, Alpert has put out such memorable songs as "The Lonely Bull", "Rise", "A Taste of Honey" and "This Guy's in Love With You", either as a solo artist or with Tijuana Brass.

With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, you can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm guitar, Lou Pagani's piano, the droll Bob Edmondson's dulcet trombone, etc…
