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 on the Billboard albums chart. Warm was a vast departure from all previous Tijuana Brass albums and featured much slower-paced songs leaning more toward a "Brazilian" sound. At this point in his career, Alpert had grown tired of the music the band was playing feeling that it was repetitive and wanted to try a different direction.[1] The opening track "The Sea Is My Soil" was one of the longest songs ever released by the Tijuana Brass running four and a half minutes while the song "Without Her" featured Alpert on vocals. The album received mixed reviews during its initial release but has since become a favorite of many Tijuana Brass fans. [2]
