Synopsis

Amazon.com
On their 1990 indie debut, the Mavericks proved they had all of the raw tools in place: Raul Malo boasted a magnificently dramatic voice and an impeccable songwriting touch. As a whole, the Miami band revealed an array of influences including pure honky-tonk, shuffling roadhouse boogie, and heart-rending country-pop balladry. Of course, it was this latter style, displayed here on cuts such as "This Broken Heart" and "The Lonely Waltz," that would come to be known as the group's forte, thanks to Malo's anguished readings. The Mavericks moved to Nashville and signed with MCA largely on the strength of this release, which was not as finely honed as their subsequent releases, but was incredibly polished for an independent artist. --Marc Greilsamer

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is where the legend began. A magnificent collection of songs all penned by Raul Malo.From the excellent "The Lonely Waltz" to the superb "Another Lonely Life", this is music to delight. For all those Mavericks fans who discovered the group through "Dance the Night Away", listen to this Cd and you will not be disappointed"
