Episode 5: Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - !!Going Places!!

Most of Herb Alpert's albums are thrift store mainstays, with Whipped Cream and Other Delights being the most recognizable.  However, the reason there are so many is because the music, unlike a lot of easy listening at the time, was enjoyable to a wide arrange of listeners and of consistent quality from album to album.  Still, 1965 seemed like one of the best years for Alpert, as his band, originally session musicians, became an actual unit.  !!Going Places!!, Alpert's second release in 1965 and follow-up to Whipped Cream, is one of the best examples of his sound and managed keep those hits coming.
