STEREO version. Bob Moore is an American session musician, orchestra leader, and bassist. He has had over 17,000 recording sessions, and may have played on more recordings than any other musician in the world. He as played for almost countless artists, including Marty Robbins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra. He had strong roots in country music, and in 1994 Life named him the number one "Country Bassist" of all time. In 1960, he formed the Bob Moore Orchestra and recorded an album which included the song "Mexico". Mexico was released as a single in 1961 and reached #7 on the Billboard pop music chart, remaining in the Top 40 for ten weeks. This selection appeared on the flip side of Mexico, and received strong play on jukeboxes.
I was looking for the Boudleaux Bryant version...this is good but I prefer Mr Bryant's. Last time I heard his was in 1959. A DJ in Oz (Australia) used it behind his voice as well as playing it a few times.

Probably the coolest song I've ever heard. I visualize Uma Thurman driving her mini cooper through some quaint French Village prior to all hell breaking loose in a Trenton Tarantino movie. Perfect music for film.

Hmmm, the more I hear this, the more I like it. Very catchy melody! LG

As a kid I loved Mexico and it was the reason my mum got me the single. Hot Spot was on the B-side - which I did play occasionally out of curiosity. These days I would rather listen to Hot Spot - it just has that timeless relaxing feel to it.
