The album was released on the heels of a television special by the same title (telecast April 22, 1968 over )., who wrote the special, also provided two paragraphs of liner notes for the album.
Explaining the concept behind the album, Mankiewicz writes, 'The beat of America is more than a musical experience. It finds its pulse and rhythms in the very life of the country: the crack of a bat against a baseball, the spinning wheels and pounding machinery of a modern factory, a swinging crowd in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, a saddle twisting desperately against his rider.' It includes Alpert's only major vocal hit, ', which became an overnight success due to its inclusion during the special, in a sequence featuring Herb and his (first) wife, Sharon. The album was reissued on CD by on August 16, 2005. It was reissued again on CD and various download services by Alpert's own label, Herb Alpert Presents, in September 2016.

Listened to the Soundcloud snippet. Certainly is inviting. Always liked his version of 'Wade In the Water'.
Everytime I see the Alvin Ailey routine with that song I think of his version. The snippet says the song is available but I've not seen it on iTunes or Amazon or his website (which the snippet said would have it). I liked Music Vol 1 (not necessarily the title though I get and appreciation the Traveling Wilburys reference/homage); some tunes more than others.
This forthcoming 'record' idea is an interesting concept. I've always liked the Bob Dylan approach of never doing the same thing the same way, but I suppose you cannot blame Mr Alpert for revisiting his successful catalog. Always liked his post TJB music more so. I have been listening in the past few days to some Paul Anka albums form the 70s - Listen to Your Heart, Music Man, notably - and Walk a Fine Line, and got to thinking that he should re-record these because they are some really good MOR tunes, and especially since Sony hasn't gotten around to re-releasing them digitally (though they've been doing a lot of work on re-releasing in digital a good part of back catalog of folks going back to 60s). Listen to Your heart was released on CD in Japan, though (which is how I obtained it last year). I'm sure this will be a fine album and I hope Herb writes some liner notes explaining the picks. My only concern is, many of these tunes are the ones that have already been done to death.
A man of my vintage has been enjoying them for half a century. Maybe the hope is some younger folks will get on board. What I'd really like to see is a reformation of the Baja Marimba Band, this time with young Latin players re-imagining that bands book. Some real strong tunes there with a large Hispanic market to tap into.
I love the cover art - that logo really channels the old TJB logos from some of the albums, especially Whipped Cream and South of the Border. It's not too surprising that Whipped Cream gets more tracks than any other album, given it's his most famous album. I'm a little surprised that the 'early' songs are given so much of the play list -- although, maybe one could speculate that Herb was still 'finding his sound' on those first few albums (and we all know that he was dissatisfied with Volume 2) so this set maybe gives him a chance to re-think the arrangements, styles, etc.
Where on the later albums, with his 'sound' intact, he might not think those songs need reimagining!
