Background

Unlike the previous Warm album, which featured much slower-paced songs leaning more toward a Brazilian sound, The Brass Are Comin' is characterized by a western theme with faster-paced songs. "Good Morning, Mr. Sunshine" became one of the most recognized Tijuana Brass songs from the album, and it was among the last Mexican-flavored songs recorded by the group.[2] After completing this album and the subsequent television special, the group embarked on a European tour that marked the last public performances of the original band.[3]

The album spawned a television special by the same name that aired on NBC on October 29, 1969.[4] Clips from the special can be seen on the album's double-fold cover.

Critical reception

In his review for Allmusic, music critic Richard S. Ginell wrote "...stretches of this record reveal a tired group and a leader whose trumpet has lost much of its old zip. Even so, as on all TJB albums, there are several gems."[5]
