Throughout the '90s, the Mavericks were one of the few bands to successfully fuse roots-rock and countrypolitan at a time when Music Row was infatuated with soft-rock flavored superstars. SUPER COLOSSAL not only proves this point, but includes new material that promises a rosy future for country music. Songs such as the lush ballad "I Should Have Been True" and the loping lament "This Broken Heart" point to Raul Malo's sonorous vocal style drawing directly from Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline. Throughout, guitarist Nick Kane's liberal use of reverb is a welcome touch.
Malo's Latin roots also play a part in the music whether via the use of Texicali-flavored horns worthy of Marty Robbins on "Dance The Night Away" or a Tex-Mex two-step with Flaco Jimenez on "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down." Honky-tonk is represente as well, with "There Goes My Heart," a song Dwight Yoakam might have written. Even the newer songs bask in this kind of fun-loving abandon. Most notable is a swinging, Burt Bacharach-flavored take on Cat Stevens' "Here Comes My Baby" and "Think Of Me (When You're Lonely)," which sounds like Buck Owens meeting the mambo.
