All in Good Time
The Mavericks have never been quite of the times. Their music was a pastiche of styles from the past, from Raul Malo's Roy Orbison-style of open-mouthed operatic vocals to the classic Latin musical accompaniment to the rockabilly rhythms, the band sounded more timeless than of whatever particular era in their 20-plus year history they existed...

The MavericksIn Time(Big Machine) Rating: 4.5 stars (out of 5) Hold that groan about another '90s outfit reforming until you hear this corker from the Mavericks. The group's first studio set in 10 years, and only their seventh overall since 1991's debut, is as powerful and timeless as anything they have done, which is saying plenty...

The MavericksIn Time (Valory) In their original 1989-2003 run, the Mavericks achieved considerable success with an expansive approach that encompassed trad honky-tonk twang, old-school rock & roll swagger, swoony balladry, and frontman/songwriter Raul Malo's sublimely expressive singing...

Nashville had never quite heard the likes of The Mavericks, a Miami five-piece with a retro countrypolitan lean and a Cuban-American lead singer with a voice that was all silk, muscle and smoke. If Music City didn't know what to make of them, The Mavericks figured they would make a timeless kind of classic country that would transcend the moment and be something that would sound fresh no matter when it was played...

Gloriously anti-Mainstream when they first appeared on the Country Music scene in the 1990s, The Mavericks have retained the fiercely artistic, independent vibe even as they scored ACM and CMA and Grammy Awards for their intoxicating blend of Rockabilly, Cuban Soul, Mariachi, and Country (among sprinklings of other genres). They scored massive success but then around 2003 or so shut everything down to pursue other interests...

In the mid-90s, bagged several country music awards and a Grammy, making a commercial virtue of the fact that they have always been a band that stands outside their own time. The retro-styled band, formed in Miami in 1989 through a shared love of and , saw their sharp-suited blend of Nashville clichés, Mexican horns and Cuban rhythms winning them international popularity. They became a one-stop party shop for those who found too convoluted and too melancholy...

Most people know 'Dance the night Away' but have no idea who sang it, am I right? As a first track on the live album, I'd say it was good thinking, because, well, its just a happy song!! But does it set the tone for the rest of the album? I'm not too sure...

Miami has never beenconsidered a hotbed of country music, but the Mavericks might put iton the down-home map. Led by Raul Malo, a Cuban-American with a BuckOwens fixation and a tight, pinched vibrato that carries all thetension of a high-voltage wire, the Mavericks are a rarity in countrymusic ? a group that plays with the cohesion of a real band...
