History

edit

The Mavericks were founded inMiami,Florida, in 1989.[3]Lead vocalist and guitaristRaul Malomet bass guitarist Robert Reynolds, a native ofKansas City, Missouri,[4]when both were performing in local bands. The two of them developed a friendship after realizing that they both shared interest in musicians such asRoy Orbison,Elvis Presley,andJohnny Cash,and decided to form their own band. Paul Deakin, a friend of Reynolds's and native ofOhio,was chosen as drummer.[4]Completing the original lineup was lead guitarist Ben Peeler, a native ofJackson, Mississippi.[1][4][5]They immediately began touring throughout the Miami area, primarily at venues that typically bookedrockbands. This was because the band wanted to perform original songs, while most of the country music-themed venues at the time preferred acts that performedcover songsinstead.[1][6]In late 1990, The Mavericks released theirself-titled debut albumon a local independent label called Y&T Music.[4]Malo wrote every song on the album.[7]

1992–1993:From Hell to Paradise

edit

Due to the independent album's success throughout the Miami music community, the band was invited to perform for a showcase inNashville, Tennessee,at which talent scouts for major country music labels were present. One of these labels,MCA Nashville,signed the band in May 1991.[1]According toColin Larkinin theVirgin Encyclopedia of Country Music,the band was signed before they had finished theirsoundcheck.[6]Peeler was fired from his role as guitarist in October 1991 due to concerns from the other three band members and their then-manager that his playing was not suitable for a country music band.[4]He was replaced byDavid Lee Holt,asession musicianwho had also played forJoe ElyandCarlene Carter.[1]After Holt joined, the band began recording their first MCA albumFrom Hell to Paradiseat Miami-based Criteria Studios late in 1991. Malo wrote the title track, which was about his parents emigrating fromCubato the United States. He co-produced it with guitaristsRichard Bennettand Steve Fishell, both of whom also played on the album.[4]The album was released in May 1992 and charted one single a month later: a cover ofHank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin'",which the band took to number 74 onBillboardHot Country Songs.[8]Sandra Schulman of the South FloridaSun-Sentinelwrote that this album "reflected their Miami roots with social issues of homelessness and immigrant rights shoehorned in with the boot-kicking country ballads".[9]Rating it "B+",Alanna NashofEntertainment Weeklywrote that "Some of the group's writing could use a finer bead, but the Mavericks earn major points for integrating thehillbillyheart of the masters with the consciousness and muscle of the contemporary generation. "[10]

Holt quit the band after only one album. Dale Martin, music reviewer forThe Victoria Advocate,attributed Holt's departure to "friction of some sort".[11]Conversely, Karen Essex ofNew Countrymagazine stated that Holt left amicably.[12]After leaving The Mavericks, Holt would become a founding member of theblues rockbandStoryville.[13]In 1993, The Mavericks chose Bill Dwyer to fill in on lead guitar while on tour inEurope.Reynolds told Mike Cooper ofThe Hard Reportin July of that year that the band did not yet know who would replace Holt.[14]

1994–1995:What a Crying Shame

edit

The Mavericks' next MCA release was 1994'sWhat a Crying Shame.This was also their first to be produced byDon Cook,best known for his work withBrooks & Dunn.[1]By the time of the album's release, Reynolds had selected Nick Kane, another friend of his, to become the band's third guitarist. Although Kane was pictured on the album's liner notes and in promotional material, the project was completed before his joining. As a result,Bruce Boutonand Mark Casstevens ofGarth Brooks' studio band The G-Men played guitar on the album alongside session guitaristBrent Mason.[15]It was also at this point that keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden began accompanying the band in concerts.[16]Malo wrote four of the album's ten songs with Greek-American songwriterKostas,best known for his work withPatty LovelessandDwight Yoakam.Three months before the album's release, Reynolds married country singerTrisha Yearwood;[17]she, along withJames HouseandJoy Lynn White,contributed backing vocals.[18]Mark Deming ofAllMusicthought that Cook's production was "glossier" than the preceding albums, also stating that they "fully hit their stride with...the band's blend of rootsy country and vintage pop sounds".[19]

What a Crying Shameproduced a total of five singles, four of which made the top 40 on theBillboardcountry singles charts. First was "What a Crying Shame",one of the songs which Malo and Kostas co-wrote.[8]The song was initially unsuccessful at radio, but Malo insisted that the label keep promoting it through the Christmas season of late 1993-early 1994, after which it began ascending the airplay charts.[12]As a result, it reached a peak of number 25 in early 1994.[8]After it was a cover ofJesse Winchester's "O What a Thrill",which would become the most successful single off the album with a number 18 peak on the country charts.[9][8]It was followed by "There Goes My Heart","I Should Have Been True ", and a cover ofBruce Springsteen's "All That Heaven Will Allow".[8][9]"What a Crying Shame" and "O What a Thrill" both made top 10 onRPMCountry Tracks, then the main country music chart published in Canada.[20][21][a]In February 1995,What a Crying Shamewascertified platinumby theRecording Industry Association of America(RIAA) for shipments of one million copies.[22]In Canada, the album was certified double-platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (nowMusic Canada), a certification which at the time honored shipments of 200,000 copies in that country.[23][b]

The commercial success ofWhat a Crying Shamealso led to the first of several industry award nominations for the band. The title track earned the band their firstGrammy Awardnomination at the37th Annual Grammy Awardsin 1995, in the category ofBest Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[25]TheAcademy of Country Musicalso awarded the band as Top Vocal Group and Top New Vocal Duet or Group in 1994; they would win the former again in 1995 and be nominated a third time for it in 1996.[26]In mid-1995, The Mavericks coveredRichard RodgersandLorenz Hart's 1934 standard "Blue Moon"for the soundtrack of the filmApollo 13.[27]

1995–1997:Music for All Occasions

edit

MCA released the band's next albumMusic for All Occasionsin 1995.[1]The album was led off by the single "Here Comes the Rain",which charted at 22 on Hot Country Songs that year.[8]"Here Comes the Rain" was their most successful single in Canada, peaking at number 4 onRPMCountry Tracks.[28]Its follow-up was "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down",a collaboration withTejanoaccordionistFlaco Jiménez.The song peaked at number 13 on Hot Country Songs in 1996, representing not only The Mavericks' highest peak on that chart, but also Jiménez's only appearance on it.[8]Despite this, the follow-up single "Missing You" failed to make top 40.[8]Malo wrote nine of the 11 songs on the album,[29]including all three singles. He collaborated with Kostas on "Here Comes the Rain" and with formerNRBQmemberAl Andersonon the other two.[8]Also included on the album was a collaboration with Trisha Yearwood on a cover ofFrank SinatraandNancy Sinatra's 1967 single "Somethin' Stupid".[30]Yearwood, along withShelby LynneandLari White,also sang backing vocals on the track "Foolish Heart".[31]Nash described the Sinatra cover as "kitsch",but otherwise praised Malo's voice and the musical variety.[30]Rick Harmon of theMontgomery Advertisercalled the album "more subtle" than its predecessor, highlighting the singles in particular and considering the Sinatra cover superior to the original song.[32]Similarly, Mark Deming of AllMusic wrote that it was "a slyer, more subtle affair" compared toWhat a Crying Shame,and added that "the record's abundant pleasures become clear upon repeated listenings".[33]Joel Bernstein ofCountry Standard Timenoted that the band did not "play it safe", praising "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" and "Somethin' Stupid" in particular.[29]

In 1996,Music for All Occasionswas certified gold by the RIAA for shipments of 500,000 copies.[22]At the38th Grammy Awardsin February 1996,Music for All Occasionswas nominated forGrammy Award for Best Country Album,while "Here Comes the Rain" won Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal; one year later, "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" was nominated in the same category.[25]Despite the commercial success of the album, Deakin was critical of its overall sound, saying that "there was little vibe to it" and that he considered "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" to be its only good song.[34]After this album's release, The Mavericks contributed the original composition "I Don't Care (If You Love Me Anymore)" to the soundtrack of the 1996Nora EphronfilmMichael;[8]the song would also receive a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1997.[25]TheCountry Music Associationnominated the band for Vocal Group of the Year for four consecutive years between 1995 and 1998. They would win this award in both 1995 and 1996.[35]

1997–1999:Trampoline

edit

The band went on a touring and recording hiatus starting in December 1996.[34]The only exception was a live album calledIt's Now! It's Live!,composed of earlier concert recordings and released only in Canada in 1997.[36]During this hiatus, Malo performed solo shows throughout Nashville; these focused on pop standards from the 1930s to the 1950s. Accompanying him at these shows was a nine-piece band assembled by session musician Dennis Burnside.[37]In May 1997, Malo also previewed new songs at live sessions from theBluebird Café,a venue in Nashville which is frequented by songwriters. Accompanying him was Jaime Hanna, son ofNitty Gritty Dirt BandfounderJeff Hanna.Jaime Hanna would also go on to tour with The Mavericks as a backup musician.[38]The band's hiatus ended in early 1998 with the release of their next studio albumTrampoline.Contributing songwriters toTrampolineonce again included Malo, Kostas, House, and Anderson; another contributing writer for this album wasBig Kenny,later one-half ofBig & Rich.[39]Deakin told theNorth County Timesthat the album was recorded in only one week, and unlike their previous albums, did not include anyoverdubbing.After the album's release, the band toured throughoutScandinaviain support.[34]

Writing forEntertainment Weekly,Scott Schnider described Malo's singing voice favorably, also noting influences ofsambaandsoul musicin the album's tracks.[40]John D. Buchanan ofAllMusicwrote that "Easily the group's most musically ambitious set to date,Trampoline's blend of pop andLatintextures didn't connect with the mainstream country audience in the United States ".[1]The album charted only two singles in the United States: "To Be with You" and "Dance the Night Away",neither reaching top 40 on Hot Country Songs.[8]The latter was more successful in the United Kingdom, reaching number four on theUK Singles Chartin 1998. Its success led to two more singles charting in that country: "I've Got This Feeling" and "Someone Should Tell Her".[41]"Dance the Night Away" was also the band's fifth and final Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[25]Following this album's failure in the United States, The Mavericks left MCA Nashville in 1999; Deakin told the website Country Standard Time in 2000 that the band chose to leave MCA in favor ofMercury Recordsbecause many of the executives who had supported the band during their commercial peak earlier in the decade were no longer active at the label.[42][43]Malo told the same publication in 2003, "That's part of the problem of being signed to a major label in Nashville. When you venture outside the box, you're pretty much sealing your fate."[44]

1999–2003:Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90's: The Best of the Mavericks,disbanding, and first reunion

edit
Lead singer Raul Malo in 2011.

The band's only release for Mercury was a greatest hits compilation calledSuper Colossal Smash Hits of the 90's: The Best of The Mavericks.[1]They chose to release a greatest-hits album due to their recognition in Europe, where they found that such compilations tended to be commercially successful. For this project, each band member selected both singles and album cuts, along with four previously unreleased songs.[43]Among the new songs were covers ofBuck Owens' "Think of Me"andCat Stevens' "Here Comes My Baby",[43]the latter released as a single.[8]Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90'swas certified gold in the United Kingdom by theBritish Phonographic Industry(BPI) for sales of 100,000 copies.[45]Despite the commercial success in other countries, the band continued to find lessened success in the United States. Also in 1999, Reynolds divorced Yearwood; she would marryGarth Brooksin 2005.[8]By the end of the decade, the Mavericks had disbanded. Buchanan said that the band was "at loggerheads with their record company".[1]Malo stated at the time that the decision to disband was due to creative exhaustion brought on by extensive touring, combined with unspecified disputes between Kane and the rest of the band.[44]

After the disbanding, Kane released a solo album of cover songs in 2000 titledSongs in the Key of E.[46]Malo recorded both as a solo artist and as a member ofLos Super Seven,asupergroupthat also included Mexican-American country singersRick TrevinoandFreddy Fender.[47]Meanwhile, Reynolds recorded one album with the supergroup Swag, which also included members ofCheap Trick,Wilco,andSixpence None the Richer.[48]In 2000, McFadden joinedTrent Summar & the New Row Mob.[49]

The Mavericks reunited in 2003, withEddie Perezas their fourth guitarist. Malo had known Perez because the two had played in anAustin, Texasnightclub prior to The Mavericks' foundation.[44]The re-established band recorded two albums for the BritishSanctuary Records:[50]the self-titledThe Mavericksand a live album recorded in Austin, Texas, which was accompanied by a DVD release.[1]Malo said that many of the songs on the self-titled album were inspired by his concerns over the sociopolitical scene of the United States following theSeptember 11 attacks,and that Sanctuary Records executives were more willing to let the band record their music without executive interference.[51]Only one single fromThe Maverickscharted: a cover ofThe Hollies' "The Air That I Breathe".[8]Also included on the album was a collaboration withWillie Nelsonon "Time Goes By". Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time reviewed the album favorably, finding influences ofThe BeatlesandRoy Orbisonin the songwriting and arrangements.[52]Despite touring in 2003 and 2004 to support these projects, they were commercially unsuccessful, and the band broke up a second time.[1]Malo continued to record as a solo artist after this second disbanding;[1]he also produced Rick Trevino's 2003 albumIn My Dreamsand wrote several of its songs with Hanna.[53]After this, Hanna recorded one album in 2005 as half of the duoHanna-McEuen,[54]while Perez briefly toured asDwight Yoakam's guitarist.[55]After Hanna-McEuen disbanded, Jaime Hanna served as a touring guitarist forGary Allanbefore joining his father as a member of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 2018.[56]

2011–2015: Second reunion and Valory Music

edit
The Mavericks in 2020.

In October 2011, Malo, Deakin, Reynolds, and Perez reunited as The Mavericks for a second time. McFadden officially became a fifth member at this point, still accompanying on keyboards.[1]Following this, they announced plans to reunite for a tour in 2012.[57]Included in the tour was theStagecoach FestivalinIndio, California,followed by various stops in North America and Europe.[58]Coinciding with this reunion, the group signed with Valory Music Co., an imprint ofBig Machine Records,in February 2012.[59]They released a digitalextended playtitledSuited Up and Readyand charted in early 2012 with its lead single "Born to Be Blue".[8]Their first full-length album for ValoryIn Timewas released on February 26, 2013. On this project, Malo co-produced withNiko Bolasand wrote or co-wrote every song. Writing for AllMusic, Steve Leggett stated that it was "a further step away from anything resembling a mainstream country release, incorporating not only the Tex-Mex and Cuban influences the band was known for, but also the rhythms of polkas, tangos, and all manner of approaches". He thought that these additional influences made the album an "extension" of their previous efforts.[60]Following this album, the band announced in early 2014 that they would honor their 25th anniversary with a tour throughout the United States and Canada, starting inCharleston, South Carolina.[61]

For live shows, Reynolds moved from playing playing bass guitar to acoustic guitar; Ed Friedland was hired as the group's touring bassist. This was due to Reynolds having developed an addiction toopiatesthat was affecting his playing. Also joining The Mavericks' touring band at this point were Max Abrams (saxophone, percussion), Matt Cappy (trumpet), andMichael Guerra(accordion).[62]Reynolds was fired from the band in October 2014 after the other members learned that he was soliciting money from fans under false pretenses in order to support his addiction. His firing left Malo and Deakin as the two remaining original members. The band did not publicize Reynolds's departure, or the reasons behind it, until December.[63]Reynolds was not replaced by a permanent band member; Ed Friedland continued as a touring bassist and session player on Mavericks recordings until 2023.[63][64]

The Mavericks released their second Valory albumMonoon February 7, 2015.[1]The album was so named because it was mixed inmonauralsound.[65]As with the previous album, Malo wrote most of the songs,[66]except for a cover ofDoug Sahm's "Nitty Gritty".[67]Country Standard Time reviewer Andy Turner stated that the album "is quite festive and certainly sounds like a band happy to be back and having a fun time."[67]A year later, this album was nominated at the58th Annual Grammy AwardsforGrammy Award for Best Americana Album.[25]

2016–present: Mono Mundo

edit
AccordionistMichael Guerra(left) and keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden (right) in 2017.

After being released from Valory in 2016, the band founded their own label Mono Mundo in association withThirty Tigers.Their first release on their own label was a live album titledAll Night Live, Volume 1.[68]This was followed by their next studio release,Brand New Day,in March 2017.[1]This, too, was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Americana Album the following year.[25]Deming contrasted the album favorably toTrampoline,noting that the band continued to include Latin, Tejano, and "vintagepop".[69]This was followed in 2018 by their first Christmas album,Hey! Merry Christmas![1]A thirtieth-anniversary tour followed in 2019, focusing mainly on the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands while also including select locations in the United States.[70]By this point, both Lorenzo Molina and Julio Diaz replaced Matt Cappy on trumpets.[71]Coinciding with this tour, the band released their next album,Play the Hits,the same year. This album consisted entirely of cover songs, includingBruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart",Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel",Willie Nelson's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain",andFreddy Fender's "Before the Next Teardrop Falls"among others. Deming said of this album that" Even when the Mavericks don't necessarily make the songs their own, they know how to perform them with a conviction that elevates them from the work of another cover outfit ".[72]

On August 21, 2020, the band releasedEn Español,their first album entirely in the Spanish language.[73][1]Deming stated in AllMusic that, while the album contained fewer country and pop influences than its predecessors, it also emphasized the band's Latin music roots more fully than previous projects. He concluded his review by stating that it was "adventurous and crafted with heart and skill, and that's what they've always done best."[74]

Friedland left their touring band in 2023, at which point Malo briefly took over on bass in addition to his role as lead singer.[75]The band announced their next album,Moon & Stars,would be released in May 2024. The announcement confirmed that the project would include a collaboration withMaggie Roseas well as a song co-written byBernie Taupin.Prior to its release, the band went on a tour of Europe.[76]

On June 27, 2024, Malo announced via social media that he had been diagnosed withintestinal cancer.Because of treatments, the band had to cancel several shows throughout the latter half of 2024.[77]Also by this point, Malo reverted to guitarist when Scotty Huff joined their touring band as bassist.[78]

Musical styles

edit

At the time of their signing with MCA, The Mavericks were seen as unusual in country music due not only to Malo's Cuban-American ancestry, but also to the band's origins in Miami, Florida.[10]This was because at the time, the Miami music scene was better known forhip hop musicanddance musicthan for country.[4]Many reviewers have considered Malo's role as lead singer and songwriter an integral part of the band's sound. In a review ofFrom Hell to Paradise,Alanna Nash described Malo's singing voice as "a tight, pinchedvibratothat carries all the tension of a high-voltage wire ".[10]Writing for AllMusic, John D. Buchanan describedWhat a Crying Shameas "a grand showcase for the rich, emotive vocals of Raul Malo and the band's eclectic but accessible approach."[1]In a review ofTrampolinefor the same site, Thom Owens stated that Malo's voice was the defining characteristic of the band's sound; he wrote that, through his singing and production, Malo was the "driving force behind all of the group's stylistic fusions, their blend of honky tonk with country-rock, classic rock & roll, pop, and Latin."[79]Of the songwriting, Owens continued that Malo was "among the most imaginativerootssongwriting of the '90s. "[79]Tony Brown,a record producer who was also the head ofartists and repertoire(A&R) of MCA Nashville at the time of the band's signing, described Malo as "bigger than life" in a way that he compared toAlabamalead singerRandy Owen;Brown also thought that having a "great frontman" was key to a country music band's success.[4]

Music critics have defined the band's musical styles with a wide variety of influences. Brown thought that the success of new bands in the 1990s such asDiamond Rio,combined with the commercial appeal of more rock-influenced country bands such asThe Kentucky Headhunters,would lead to The Mavericks' success.[4]Nash wrote that they "constitute country’s coolest ensemble, synthesizing ’50s country and ’60s pop and rock with intelligence, verve, and cultural variety."[30]John D. Buchanan of AllMusic said of the band that "Fusing traditional country with a rich variety of rock, pop, and Latin influences, the Mavericks became one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups of the early '90s."[1]Rick Bell of theNorth County Times,in a review ofTrampoline,noted that the band's use ofhorn sectionsandstring sectionson the album gave it a "fuller sound" that complemented Malo's "velvety baritone".[80]Mark Deming highlighted Nick Kane's "finehipsterjazz picking "in a review ofMusic for All Occasions.He also found influences oftwo-stepin the album's "The Writing on the Wall" andTejano musicthrough the use ofaccordionon "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down",[81]while Joel Bernstein of Country Standard Time compared the latter toCajun musicfor the same reason. He also described the band's cover of "Blue Moon" as "Roy OrbisonmeetsDean Martin".[29]Deming stated in a review ofWhat a Crying Shamethat "Robert Reynolds and Paul Deakin are a rhythm section who can give these songs the nervy drive of a rock band without betraying the Mavericks' country leanings, and they give the covers of 'All That Heaven Will Allow' and 'O What a Thrill' a taut foundation most contemporary Nashville acts lack."[19]
