Raul
By Ed. Filed in Life, Music |
Happened across a music track by a guy named Raul Malo, “For the Good Times,” which was originally a big hit in the 1970′s for Ray Price. If you think you never heard of Raul, you might be right. But if you’ve heard any songs by the Mavericks from about 10 years ago, then you have heard Raul. The Mavericks had several top hits from top rated big selling albums before they broke up in 2001.
Raul struck out on his own and has been working on a variety of projects. He has released several albums on his own since the Mavericks broke up, and I’ve been trying to gather them up. I like his distinctive voice but even more I like his vocal style. It’s a little retro and not so formula based as the pop hits that are being playing on the radio. He goes deeper, like a true musician.
