Raul Malo at his best

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2019

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This album is Raul Malo at his best, and that is saying something. This album is primarily a showcase for Malo's great voice and feel for songs. The album opens up with a cover of John Anderson's mega-hit, "Swingin." I like John Anderson a great deal, but I have never liked this song, which is his biggest hit. Malo, however, makes the song at least palatable. The same can be said of the second cut on the album, the Waylon Jennings hit "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way." Following those two songs, we get outstanding renditions of Harlan Howard's "Blame It on Your Heart" and Hank Cochran's "Don't You Ever Get Tired (of Hurting Me)." Next Malo takes on the country classic "Before the Next Teardrop Falls," and, again, this is exquisite Malo. The highlight of the album is Malo's take on "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," which is every bit a match for Willie Nelson's classic version of the song. We also have a nice duet with Martina McBride ("Once Upon a Time") as well as a terrific cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart," which turns out to be a delightful surprise. In addition we get a definitive take on the Hank Cochran classic, "Why Can't She Be You?" as well as a definitive treatment of "I'm Leaving It Up to You." We are also treated to Malo's cover of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel." Not as good as the Elvis original, but still darn good. If you have ever liked Raul Malo (with or without The Mavericks), you will be delighted by this album, which finds Malo at the top of his form.

Truly A Hit

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The declared “Hits” are not their own hits, which made me a bit skittish. Here you have that graceful tone of Raul Malo's voice augmented by horns and a Norteño style accordion player featuring hits from the vaults. I’d never heard John Anderson's Swingin', but see it was released on country radio when my children were in thrall to anything so long as it was not country. It’s the sort of song that back when I could listen to tracks on headphones at the local record shop, I knew I’d buy it for that first knock-out cut. Malo sings Freddy Fender's Before the Next Teardrop Falls much like the original, including the second verse in Spanish. Waylon Jennings’s Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way is much like I remembered, but way bigger. Willie Nelson's Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain is backed with only the open, acoustic guitar backing familiar from Red Headed Stranger. But the slow-dance closing track, I’m Leaving It All Up to You, a 1957 hit for Don and Dewey (even before Linda Ronstadt covered it in 1970) is another terrific remake. I’m a sucker for horns and a rich baritone voice. The song list is great; The Mavericks at the top of their game. It's been a rewarding 30 years for all of us.

They've Done It Again!

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

The Mavericks are not a band that tries to recreate their last success, they are constantly reinventing themselves while staying true to their unmistakable sound. And that's a very good thing!
They truly own each of these "covers". Give it a listen and you'll not be disappointed.

Another wonderful Mavericks album.

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

It's the Mavericks need I say more? They have one of the best vocalists on the planet. The band is amazing, true professionals at every piece. It's a great cover album, of songs I've wanted for quite a while. The Mavericks have a special sound on pretty much every song they've done, and now have covered. This album is no different, it's a treat for the ears. Buy it, you'll be a Mavs fan in no time.

The Mavericks are still great.

I love the Mavericks! I have been a fan for years. So when an album comes out with new material mixed with some remakes it is a must purchase for me. I can still hear some of the Florida latin flavor in some of the tracks on this CD.

Mavericks play the hits, bar band-style

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

As covers albums go, this is a very good one, indeed, but it's hardly essential. However, it is the Mavericks, so you know the playlist stretches across the musical spectrum, and it's all well-played, superbly sung, beautifully produced -- and a whole lot of fun. My personal faves: Before the Next Teardrop Falls, Hungry Heart, Don't Be Cruel, and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.

A bit safe

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2019

Beautifully put together this CD does lack a bit of the Mavericks kick ass performance. Worth buying though for the raunchy Don't Be Cruel, and Raulo Malo is the ultimate crooner. Play it loud for maximum effect.
