Album Notes
The Mavericks: Raul Malo (vocals, guitar, melodica); Eddie Perez (guitar, background vocals); Robert Reynolds (bass, background vocals); Paul Deakin (drums).
Additional personnel includes: Willie Nelson (vocals).
Principally recorded at Ocean Way, Nashville, Tennessee and Ken's Gold Club, Franklin, Tennessee.
The Mavericks shook up country music in the 1990s with their combination of snappy, neo-traditional honky tonk and un-ironic retro pop-rock styles, and then went on an extended hiatus. 2003's THE MAVERICKS (not to be confused with their eponymous debut album) finds them resuming where they left off--they present a tight, accomplished but heartfelt program of winsome ballads ("A Little Too Lonely"), Cuban-influenced numbers ("Shine A Light"), and classic '70s pop (a lovely cover of the Hollies hit "The Air That I Breathe"). As a bonus, the original "maverick" of country music, Willie Nelson, guests on "Time Goes By."
Industry Reviews
...Nonclassifiable and thus classic Mavericks, a musical tour of romance that ranges from rumba [and] '70s country rock [to] pink-chiffon balladry from an Eisenhower-era ballroom... - Rating: B+
