  • The Mavericks Est Un Groupe Américain De Musique Country Fondé En 1989 À Miami, En Floride
    Miami Eddie Perez, Jerry Dale McFadden, Paul Deakin, Raul Malo, Robert Reynolds The Mavericks est un groupe américain de musique country fondé en 1989 à Miami, en Floride. Raúl Francisco Martínez-Malo Jr. nom de scène Raul Malo, est né le 7 Août 1965 à Miami; il est à l’initiative de la création du groupe. En 1987, Raul, doté d’une voix de baryton réalise son premier enregistrement avec la chanson ‘’Paperheart’’ en s’accompagnant à la guitare basse. Raul avait déjà joué dans plusieurs groupes alors qu'il était à la même école secondaire que le bassiste Robert Reynolds né Robert Earl Reynolds le 30 Avril 1962 à Kansas City dans le Missouri. Ils se sont donc rencontrés à l’école et découvrent qu’ils ont les mêmes goûts musicaux: Ils apprécient la musique de Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams et Johnny Cash. Ils décident de former un groupe. Robert Reynolds persuade son meilleur ami, Paul Deakin de les rejoindre; ce dernier, né le 2 Septembre 1959 à Miami est batteur jusqu’alors dans des groupes de rock progressif. Eddie Perez, ancien guitariste pour Kim Richey, Jim Lauderdale et Gary Allan, rentre dans le groupe; puis suivront : Jaime Hanna, David Lee Holt, Nick Kane et Ben Peeler. Eddie raconte: ‘’en 1996, avec mon père nous sommes allés voir The Mavericks au Greek Theater à Los Angeles, et nous avons été tous les deux complètement époustouflés. Après ce spectacle, j’ai dit à mon père que j’espérais jouer un jour avec eux’’. Alliant country traditionnelle et Rock, ‘’The Mavericks‘’ devient l'un des groupes les plus acclamés par la critique.

  • Mavericks Are an Aptly Named Collection of Iconoclasts
    June 28, 1992 NASHVILLE - The Mavericks are an aptly named collection of iconoclasts. The lead singer is Cuban-American, they pop open country music with a rock twist, and this month, the Mavericks began a tour of hotel lounges at the beautiful Timonium Holiday Inn outside Baltimore. In between these idiosyncratic lines comes "From Hell to Paradise," the Mavericks ' first project for MCA Records. It is one of the most powerful debuts of the year, either in the country or rock fields. "From Hell to Paradise" carries the big, twangy, loud drums sound of early Steve Earle, which makes sense, because Mavericks ' engineer Chuck Ainlay also worked with Earle. The Mavericks push country boundaries with an aggressive rock attitude, which Earle unsuccessfully (at least, commercially) has attempted. And their songwriting is remarkably sophisticated for a young band. But what really works in the Mavericks ' behalf is the fact they don't have much to do with Nashville. The band is based in Miami, and outside a few obligatory visits to Music City, such as a recent radio seminar, they are free to be, well . Mavericks . "When we started, we were kind of a `Spinal Hat,' " said drummer Paul Deakin in a recent interview at the Opryland Hotel here. "We actually evolved into country music." The Mavericks were formed in fall, 1989. Lead singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Malo was playing bass and singing backup with older and fuzzier guys who covered cool artists like Buck Owens. (A honky-tonk version of the Buckmeister's "Excuse Me (I Think I've Got a Heartache)" appears on the new record.) Deakin had played funk and punk for six years in progressive Miami area bands before fellow future Maverick Robert Reynolds hipped him to Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash.

Lots of great new cds & bargains. If you haven’t ordered in a while this is the chance to remain on our mailing list. Thank you! If sending a cheque for any sale item please call first. A) Mark Chesnutt “Outlaw” $30 B) Shane Worley “Honky Tonk History” $30 Two similarly themed albums, mostly covers of outlaw period classics but both with originality to make them worthwhile. Worley has previously done a Haggard tribute albums and continues with a great cover of “Is This the Beginning of the end”, a Wynn Stewart song that appeared on an early Haggard album. He also does a finetake on “Heart Don’t Stop Stoppin’ on Me Now”, from Vern Gosdin & Max D Barnes. Producer Mike Headrick is of course a hero in our annuls and he shines on guitar throughout. Shane even does an Alan Jackson song, and does an extremely fine job on “House With No Curtains”.
