Listening to Music for All Occasions and What a Crying Shame recently, I really think The Mavericks were one of the few bands to straddle the mainstream country and alternative country worlds successfully. Raul Malo's solo career has been a little inconsistent, but I'd rank his 2010 release Sinners and Saints right up there with the best of his Mavericks stuff. Anyway, I tried to include a song from each of his Mavericks and solo releases along with a bunch of obscurities.
Matter Much To You Raul Malo

Call Me The Breeze The Mavericks
Malo Bailare (El Merecumbe) Raul Malo
Here Comes My Baby The Mavericks

Great compilation! Thank you.
Raul Malo is one of my favorites, and yes, sinner and saints, one of his best. saw him live when he came through san francisco. he played a small club, and truly rocked the joint. what a voice!!
It really is too bad Malo isn't more popular. I think his genre-hopping is partly to blame, though I think he could have easily gotten away with it in the early 60s. Alas.
Agree Ishka, Raul seems to really want to be a Lounge Singer at heart and dabble into Country/Rock/Pop
@anonymous - that's a very good way of putting it. And he is a damn good lounge singer.
Amazing. Astounding. Greatest voice in the world now that Elvis, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Roy Orbison are gone.
@Ricardo,
A truly great voice, indeed. Just re-upped this collection.
But now expired. Reup please?
Done and done!
best,
Ish
