Notes:

Coinciding with another television special, this is the unofficial "last ride" of the original TJB. Some trademark arrangements are featured on this album, including Henry Mancini's "Moon River", "Sunny", and the Lennon/McCartney tune "I'll Be Back"). "Good Morning, Mr. Sunshine" has to be one of the best TJB tracks on record, and the last truly Mexican-flavored song they would ever record. Most of the originals have a bouncy country & western flavor to them, perfect for punctuating barroom brawls and Brass riding into town.
