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!
