Mavericks Country Member Raul Malo has gone Jazz Crazy with new Album  SAINTS & SINNERS
RAUL MALO  - best known for his performance with the 1990's Country Group "The Mavericks", has taken on a different singing persona, at least partially, by including Jazz and Rock n Roll into his music with this new album. 

You will probably remember David Lee Holt, lead guitarist for the Mavericks.  MCA Records signed the Mavericks in the fall of 1990 and released "From Hell To Pardise" and five more albums for the band during the 90's.  David Lee Holt was replaced with Nick Kane.  They had several songs that reached the Top 40, including "O What A Thrill" in 1994; "There Goes My Heart" reached number 20 on the charts. They received a Grammy and Country Music Association gave them Top Vocal Honors twice.  Towards the end of the 90's Malo started incorporating Latin rhythms and their albums had more of a Tejano/Latino swagger, which left the country rhythm in the wind.  Their last collective music shared was via their "Millennium Collection".  The Mavericks stopped their band gigs in early 2001 but still remain tightly affiliated.


I really like his Living For Today Song.  We are just living for today... My dog don't know his own demise, seems like pretty good advice, no more intellectual, living out there ..... we're just living for today.. I'll let you have your own listen to his songs below.  Malo has connected via vocals and backup with well known names from Country Music including  "Shelby Lynne", worked with Ethan Allen and K. T. Oslin producing; and did a solo recording of Bruce Springsteens' "Downbound Train".  (We'll have to do a trip down memory lane with a post on Shelby and K.T. soon).  Alot of credit for the new album goes to Ray Benson (Asleep at the Wheel topdog), and his Studio.
