The Lonely Bull - The Shadows - cover by Dave Monk

"The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)" is a song by Sol Lake recorded by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass among others. The Herb Alpert single represents the first release on A&M Records.
It became a hit (US #6) and title song to the album The Lonely Bull, released in December 1962. Its original title was "Twinkle Star".

The Shadows recorded a cover version in 1964 on the album Dance with The Shadows.

Here is my time-saving version (in office, no green screen, no lights etc!) using another great backing track from Goran Tangring.
I hope you like it. Dave
