Reviews Customer Reviews for Mavericks      Great sound      Rating:      I don't like much country music but the Mavericks are an exception and they are exceptional!! I love the Roy Orbison sounding vocals from Raul and the different sound they create.     Customer Reviews for Mavericks Cd      EARLY MAVERICKS      Rating:      A pleasant enough addition to my country collection, but lacks the heart and soul of THE MAVERICKS: DEFINITIVE COLLECTION. Raul Malo has come far from when this album was produced. Personally I prefer their later works with the infusion of 50's rock/alt. country/latino blend. Editorial Reviews for Mavericks Audio Cd      Amazon.com      On their 1990 indie debut, the Mavericks proved they had all of the raw tools in place: Raul Malo boasted a magnificently dramatic voice and an impeccable songwriting touch. As a whole, the Miami band revealed an array of influences including pure honky-tonk, shuffling roadhouse boogie, and heart-rending country-pop balladry. Of course, it was this latter style, displayed here on cuts such as "This Broken Heart" and "The Lonely Waltz," that would come to be known as the group's forte, thanks to Malo's anguished readings. The Mavericks moved to Nashville and signed with MCA largely on the strength of this release, which was not as finely honed as their subsequent releases, but was incredibly polished for an independent artist. --Marc Greilsamer
