In his continuing quest to be all things to all record-buyers, Trini Lopez added The Love Album to his previous records The Latin Album and The Folk Album (one more was yet to come: The Rhythm and Blues Album). With arrangements from Don Costa -- whose blend of flutes and strings smoothened many a Sinatra chart of the '60s (and who had actually discovered Lopez a few years earlier) -- the LP certainly had potential, but the misses outweigh the hits. Lopez's voice was deep and friendly enough to appeal to most pop listeners of the era, and the material appears to have been selected well ("Blue Velvet," "Moon River," "People," "Our Day Will Come"). Still, Lopez doesn't have the same ease of delivery he'd shown on his previous work. With his pop singles ("Lemon Tree," "If I Had a Hammer") or with his Latin material, he always had energy to spare, but here he appears unsure of how to treat the type of vocal pop that gets a performer into a supper club. ~John Bush

Trini Lopez - 2 albums: Trini Lopez At PJ's / More Trini Lopez At PJ's

Album: Trini Lopez At PJ's
Bitrate: MP3@320K/s
Time: 35:51
Size: 82.1 MB
Styles: Pop/Rock
Year: 1963/2013
Art: Front

[3:51] 1. A-Me-Ri-Ca
[2:59] 2. If I Had A Hammer
[2:18] 3. Bye Bye Blackbird
[2:03] 4. Cielito Lindo
[3:51] 5. This Land Is Your Land
[3:12] 6. What'd I Say
[4:37] 7. La Bamba
[3:20] 8. Granada
[6:35] 9. Medley Gotta Travel On Down By The Riverside Marianne When The Saints Go Marching In Volare
[3:02] 10. Unchain My Heart

This was the album that made Lopez explode nationally, reaching number two, staying in the Top 40 LP charts for about a year, and yielding the hit "If I Had a Hammer." All of this seems to have been largely forgotten today, but at the time Lopez was ubiquitous indeed. What he did, at the head of a trio with Mickey Jones (later to play briefly with Bob Dylan) on drums and Dick Brant on bass, was to make folk-pop swing. There is certainly some folk music on here, including "If I Had a Hammer," "This Land Is Your Land," and "Gotta Travel On." It could be surmised that by treating such material in this fashion, Lopez had a tiny influence upon the subsequent folk-rock movement; Marty Balin of the Jefferson Airplane has said as much. In truth, however, Lopez was more the all-around entertainer with a Latin lilt than he was a folk singer, so you also get "America" (from West Side Story), "La Bamba," Ray Charles' "What'd I Say," "Volare," and "When the Saints Go Marching In." The live party-a-go-go atmosphere did much to put Lopez's likable energy over, and likely influenced the similar live-in-a-small-club ambience on Johnny Rivers' early hits, especially as Jones played with Rivers as well. ~Richie Unterberger

Trini Lopez At PJ's

Album: More Trini Lopez At PJ's

Year: 1963/2005
Art: Front

[3:23] 1. Oh, Lonesome Me
[2:45] 2. Never On Sunday
[2:21] 3. The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart
[4:05] 4. Corazon De Melon (Watermelon Heart)
[2:02] 5. Go Into The Mountains
[2:14] 6. If You Wanna Be Happy
[2:32] 7. Walk Right In
[2:26] 8. Lonesome Traveler
[2:38] 9. Green, Green
[2:25] 10. Goody Goody
[2:46] 11. Yeah
[3:19] 12. Kansas City

The success of Trini Lopez's live debut, Trini Lopez at PJ's, ensured that the formula would be repeated with the release of More Trini Lopez at PJ's a few months later. The album was another success, barely missing the Top Ten on the album charts, and giving Lopez a second hit single with his hard-rocking performance of "Kansas City." The album was as varied as the debut, offering Latin-tinged, good-time renditions of folk, country, and rock & roll songs, standards, and even an original composition ("Yeah"). Less folk-oriented than the first album in terms of repertoire but no less entertaining, More Trini Lopez at PJ's rivals Lopez's debut in overall quality despite its more modest chart placement. ~Greg Adams
