MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Apr 6, 2025 #310

*We'll go all the way back to 1964 for the biggest hit by this group.  It was actually recorded in the last 5 minutes of their recording session.  In the song, a guy goes to Mexico and enjoys the company of a young lady whose boyfriend, Jose, is kind of a bad dude.  Name the group and extra credit for the name of the song...
 
*The release of an album in the fall of 1971 gave this great band their 7th gold record in less than 3 years.  That same album produced 2, top ten singles.  This album also inspired the band into thinking that they could be successful playing stadium and arena venues.  Name the band...
 
*Is this artist country or not?  After his first two albums (prior to 1989) one might have put him in that genre.  Then that 1989 album seemingly sidelined any career aspirations as a mainstream country act as much of it displayed a smoky, late-night vibe of a low-key jazz joint.  Name the artist...
 
*Recording other people's songs and giving them a sound of their own is deeply ingrained in this band's working method.  It is kind of what we've come to expect with their album released in 2022, as the band has changed little over the course of 35+ years.  Covering great tracks regularly...Name the group...
