Reviews Customer Reviews for Marshmallow World And Other Holiday Favorites With Bonus Track Amazon Com Exclusive Almost Great Rating: As a huge Mavericks and Raul fan, I was delighted to see a Christmas CD! But I was disappointed that several tunes sounded like mere Dean Martin impersonations. Raul should just sing! I don't know who produced this CD, maybe Raul did. But the concept was off on several tunes. I can recommend this to big fans of his, you'll find several songs you love. I hope to see a second volume released with more Raul, less Vegas.
Customer Reviews for Marshmallow World And Other Holiday Favorites With Bonus Track Amazon Com Exclusive Cd very good Christmas Cd Rating: Having been a Mavericks fan, I knew his voice would be perfection (as always). However, his original "Not So Merry Christmas" is a great tune that has so many 1960s influences that its scary. You can almost see Phil Spector behind the board. He has some interesting takes on classics (most work, but they are different) and other tunes he stays pretty traditiional. I love the use of the guitar on this. I think if you have diverse tastes in music, you will love it. If you are purely traditional....you'll love about 70%.......if you are a total lunatic, you probably won't like it. *ha, ha*
Seriously....really, really good
Editorial Reviews for Marshmallow World And Other Holiday Favorites With Bonus Track Amazon Com Exclusive Audio Cd Amazon.com This Amazon.com exclusive version of Marshmallow World & Other Holiday Favorites includes a live bonus track, "Blue Christmas." Considered to be one of the finest singers in the world, Raul Malo has always crossed cultures and blurred musical boundaries, breaking new ground with his distinctive balance of vintage sound and contemporary attitude. Born in Miami of Cuban parents, Raul is best known as the founder and frontman of Grammy-winning, multi-platinum band the Mavericks. Formed in 1990, the Mavericks were one of the decade's biggest country bands, recording seven albums, including their 1994 breakthrough, What a Crying Shame, and twice being named Top Vocal Group by the Country Music Association. This is Raul Malo's first solo Christmas album, which features Raul's beautiful and unique interpretations of beloved holiday tunes. Some songs are distinctly stylized, some traditional, others sung with a hint of humor, but all very nostalgic.
