Trampoline album Product Description
Trampoline album by Mavericks was released Mar 10, 1998 on the MCA Nashville label. As their career progresses, the Mavericks are becoming more of a showcase for vocalist/frontman Raul Malo, both for better and for worse. They may be losing their band identity, but that may have been inevitable, considering that Malo is such a gifted, powerful musician. He is 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. On Music for All Occasions, the stylistic blends sounded a little gimmicky, but the band sounds revitalized on Trampoline -- even the vaudevillian "Dolores" rings as true as the shuffling, cha-cha "I Should Know." If anything, the album is the least "country" album the Mavericks have ever done, but that's primarily because all of their influences have blended seamlessly together, creating an original, altogether intoxicating sound. Furthermore, they're not simply surface -- Malo's songs are clever constructions, ranking among the most imaginative roots songwriting of the '90s. His writing, combined with his band's musical panache, makes Trampoline a ride worth taking. ...See Full Description

| 20th Century Masters The Best of the Maverics Having only the Experience of the 1998 "Trampoline," to go by the "Best of..." collection is more of the same. Including "Dance the Night Away." That means for someone looking for other than the run-of-the-mill CW this band and its lead singer Raul Malo provide something different. Here different is good. Their sound shows the influence of many styles and the blend is to be enjoyed rather than trying to pigeon-hole where it belongs. These players are professional, competent, and ingenuity of the backup needs to be heard. The voice of Raul Malo is one of the more interesting among current male, non-classical and non-rap/ hip-hop music. You can understand his words and he conveys and authentic meaning to the emotions each song conveys. Two covers, one, Springsteen's "All That Heaven Will Allow," and Richard Rogers-Lorenz Hart's "Blue Moon," fit nicely in the other eight by Raul Malo and other writers. This is a good collection on Maverick performances and well fit in a Millenium collection. By a reviewer (MidAtlantic, USA)  |
