Warm (Herb Alpert album)
Warm is a 1969 album by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. It was the group's twelfth release and their final album to reach the top 40 of the Billboard 200 album chart. Warm was a vast departure from previous Tijuana Brass albums and featured much slower-paced songs, leaning more toward a Brazilian type of sound. At this point in his career, Alpert had grown tired of the band's previous style of music, feeling that it was repetitive, and wanted to try a different direction.[1] The opening track, "The Sea Is My Soil", is among the longest songs ever released by the Tijuana Brass at four and a half minutes, while three songs on the album feature lead vocals by Alpert ("Without Her", "Zazuiera" and "To Wait for Love"), all of which were released as singles. The album received mixed reviews during its initial release but has since become a favorite of many Tijuana Brass fans.[2]
