"Luxuriant vocals that cross genre boundaries"
When Raul Malo came on the scene as the lead singer of the Mavericks, he already had a sound that didn't fit the usual categories -- and a luxuriant voice that brought to mind Roy Orbison. The Mavericks were a country band, but there was always more to the Mavericks than country: a Latin tinge, seriously ambitious songwriting, and a big dose of pure pop passion. For Raul Malo, the Mavericks were just a beginning of an American musical journey. He has sung in English and Spanish, and he's at home with rock, country, Cuban music, and the big-band jazz that fits his romantic vocals so beautifully. He's sung Latin rock, acoustic Americana, and even children's music. And his voice has only improved with age. It's a stunning instrument that has the rare quality of being big and intimate at the same time. Raul comes to town with "Lucky One," his first new release of original material in seven years. The songs on this Fantasy Records debut draw on his deep love of country, rock, jazz, and Latin music.
