Lightening up the Mood

There is always that perfect record that will lighten your mood and today, for my one hundred thirty-third pick, this is just what I needed.

Artist - Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass

Album - Whipped Cream & Other Delights

Released - 1965

Label - A&M

Genre - Jazz, Instrumental

Tracks:

Side One

A Taste of Honey

Green Peppers

Tangerine

Bittersweet Samba

Lemon Tree

Whipped Cream

Side Two

Love Potion NO. 9

El Garbanzo

Ladyfingers

Butterball

Peanuts

Lollipops and Roses

An Instagram friend of mine posted this record and after sifting through his photos, I was reminded that I have that exact same record.  So thanks to him, it is today's pick.  The fourth album by Herb Albert's Tijuana Brass, Whipped Cream & Other Delights is so delightful.  All instrumental jazz, each track is basically telling a story.  Whipped Cream is a song, when you hear it, that sounds like it was an intro to a game show.  Let's not forget to mention the greatest song, Love Potion No. 9.  There is nothing like getting out early from work, especially when it's a long weekend and spinning this record on your record player.  Something about it just lightens the mood and washes all the worry away, at least that's how I feel.

Enjoy!
