About The Record:

Warm by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. It was the group's 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. 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 two songs on the album feature lead vocals by Alpert (Without Her and To Wait for Love), all of which were released as singles.
