Er singt wie Roy Orbison. Seine Band fusioniert Country mit Rock and Roll, Tex-Mex und Pop. Beim kubanisch-amerikanischen Sänger Raul Malo und seiner Band The Mavericks denkt man gleichzeitig an Dean Martin, Johnny Cash, die Kumbia Kings und Wilco.
Sie sind die Lieblinge des Feuilletons, treten in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall auf und stehen bei Leuten über vierzig im Plattenregal neben Lucinda Williams und Ryan Adams. Die Mavericks haben sich mit ihrer tanzbaren Spielart des Alternative-Countrys verewigt. Ihre Hits, wie “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down”, “Here Comes The Rain” und “Dance The Night Away” laufen immer noch regelmäßig im Radio.
Aufgeregt, naiv und dreist erschienen Malo und Co. zum Ende der er in der Post-Punk-Szene Miamis. Sie traten gemeinsam mit Metal-Newcomern wie Marilyn Manson auf. fuhren sie von Miami Kilometer nach Nordwesten, um in Nashville einen Showcase-Auftritt zu geben, zu dem sämtliche Artist & Repertoire-Manager der Music City hinströmten – ein nach ihnen benanntes, beim Indielabel Cross Three erschienenes Album hatte sie über Florida hinaus zum Geheimtipp gemacht.
