Sounds Like... Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass is the eighth album released by the popular 1960s mariachi-style group.
The best-known song on this album is probably the group's original instrumental that was used as the theme for the James Bond spoof, Casino Royale.
"In a Little Spanish Town" includes audience participation, which was worked into the stage version of their act in a humorous way. Alpert would ask the audience to clap hands twice at the end of each bar of the chorus. On stage, trombonist Bob Edmondson would attempt to join the hand-clapping, having to hurriedly put down and pickup his trombone each time.
