Tough!
Prestige records 1966 – PR 7471
notes:
A bit more jazz- and pop-oriented than some of his later sessions,
with covers of "Yesterday," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "And I Love Her,"
"Walk On By," and "Goldfinger." However, when Pucho decides to pull out
the funky grooves -- as he does on "Cantaloupe Island," "Vietnam Mambo,"
and "Strange Thing Mambo" -- he and the Latin Soul Brothers can smoke.
Even at its slightest, this is decent mood music.
At its best, it's significantly more than that.
