I even laughed when I pulled this one out of the box. Must have been in my mothers small collection that I got when
she passed some 25 years ago. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I would never have purchased this. Not that
it's terrible, just not my thing. There is the Willie Nelson duo on To All The Girls I've Known Before, which is my
favorite here. Also an ok duet with Diana Ross. Then there's the worst, with the Beach Boys backing up on the
classic Hollies song The Air That I Breathe. That one should never be touched. Just learned that was written by
Albert Hammond of It Never Rain's In Southern California fame. He contributes a couple of other track on here as
well. Then there's the terrible cover of Bread's If. The rest are new to me but nothing stands out. Five I like and
five and don't like. This was Julio's breakthrough album in the US, with that Willie Nelson duet making it so. It
made it to #5 on our singles chart and the album peaked at #6. Julio hasn't hit the top 40 since. Wonder if it could
have been Willie.
