Reviews Customer Reviews for Music For All Occasions      Sad Mavericks Fan      Rating:      I'M afraid that I can't write an impartial revue. Everything that the group puts out I like. So sad that they don't seem to want to stay together very long.     Customer Reviews for Music For All Occasions Cd      Great sounding album      Rating:      I don't know if the Mavericks are truely country but I really like the direction they have taken. With vocals similar to Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison you can't miss. Editorial Reviews for Music For All Occasions Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      If Chris Isaak comes at the Roy Orbison-Ricky Nelson tradition of three-minute country-pop operettas from the pop side, the Mavericks' Raul Malo approaches from the country perspective. Malo's dreamy, creamy tenor is every bit as intoxicating as Isaak's, and his emotional range is much broader. On this, the Mavericks' fourth album, Malo and his three bandmates demonstrate their complete mastery of this territory with its heavily echoed vocals, its low-pitched guitar figures, its chunky backbeat, and its claustrophobic sense of romance that is almost right but not quite. Bassist Robert Reynolds's wife Trisha Yearwood sings a duet with Malo on Nancy Sinatra's "Something Stupid," but the album's highlights are the four songs Malo cowrote with former NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson, including a Tex-Mex rave-up juiced by accordion legend Flaco Jimenez. --Geoffrey Himes
