Herb & Lani's New Album - "In The Mood"

[Captain Bacardi]

Just saw on Herb's website that their new album will be called In The Mood and they have tour dates lined up. The album is due out in the fall.

I wish Herb & Lani would play in Nashville, TN. All the dates listed are too far for me to travel. Hopefully they will add some more.

 

[A&Mguyfromwayback]

Loving the new music. A couple of cool twists and turns for the hard-core fans. That's all I have to say for now.

 

[Captain Bacardi]

You tease...



Capt. Bacardi

 

[A&Mguyfromwayback]

I do.

 

[A&M Retro]

Great news! Glad Herb and Lani and crew are touring again. I lucked out getting to see them in Chicago last year. We were three feet from them! If you haven't seen them yet, they're worth the drive. They were all sensational.

September 30th is the release date.

September 30th is the release date.

Yes, but will there be a pressed CD? Seems to me I heard that the last album was "the last album" on CD.

Goldwax indicates that there will be promos...

On the basis of Chatanooga, I can't wait for the album. Herb doesn't stand still!

Took me awhile to find it at any of the posted links. It finally appeared on this one:

The cover art seems to be a cross between CONEY ISLAND and either COLORS or MY ABSTRACT HEART.

Cover art: Fluorescent Night [acrylic on canvas] by Herb Alpert.

More details shortly...

 

[Mike Blakesley]

Sort of odd that they took a Herb Alpert painting and covered it so much with text. I do like it though.

 

[Captain Bacardi]

If you pre-order In The Mood on iTunes you can go ahead and download "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" now.

(If you know what you're doing, you could have had a copy of it awhile ago...)

I personally prefer to grab the CD from Amazon - real media - solid, substantial, something I can hold in my hand!

Getting the CD from Amazon from the manager at Records & Tapes Galore in Saginaw, MI because of the 2 bonus tracks!!! Matt Clark Sanford, MI
