As the frontman for the Mavericks and a member of Los Super Seven, Raul Malo has applied his Orbison-like delivery to an eclectic array of material. On this, his latest solo effort, the warbler enlists veteran producer Peter Asher to focus on romantic balladry, as string-laden arrangements surround Malo's tremulous voice on the opening title track (a '70s hit for songwriter J.D. Souther) and the soaring "Feels Like Home" (reprised as the closer in a duet with Martina McBride). The song selection highlights Malo's vocal range, as he finds the bittersweet essence in a slowed-down rendition of the Everly Brothers' "So Sad," a dramatic reading of the Bee Gees' "Run to Me," and a lilting take on Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart." He even tackles Etta James's signature tune, "At Last," its jazzy, smoky sophistication punctuated by a trumpet solo. The cover of Willie Nelson's "Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground" provides the album's main link to country, but even here the bedrock organ and soul choir sound closer to the church than the roadhouse. The stellar selection provides a superb showcase for Malo's shimmering voice. --Don McLeese
Former Mavericks frontman Raul Malo is ready to release his interpretations of some of his favourite songs on a new solo album titled You're Only Lonely. The new album, out July 25 via Sanctuary Records, was produced by Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Joel). It includes the Bee Gees' "Run To Me," Randy Newman's "Feels Like Home," Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart" and Willie
Nelson's "Angels Flying Too Close To The Ground." It also features one Malo original, "For You." You're Only Lonely is Malo's second solo record, following 2001's Today.
The Mavericks, a long-awaited reunion album from Malo's former band, came out in 2003. The Mavericks had an impressive 10-year run as a group, earning Grammy, CMA and ACM awards. They disbanded in 1999 after releasing greatest hits collection.
Malo will spend this summer touring across the U.S. with a simple piano-bass-drums trio. Shows will parade selections from the new album, acoustic renditions of Mavericks hits, and likely more covers not found on You're Only Lonely.
