Mavericks, The: Brand New Day (CD)

Celebrated, Grammy Award-winning band The Mavericks, release their first independent studio album Brand New Day on their own label Mono Mundo Recordings/Thirty Tigers, after years on major labels. The 10 songs that make up Brand New Day feature The Mavericks genre-defying style. Tthe album opens with the tejano/bluegrass-inspired 'Rolling Along', which sets a tone before the wall-of-sound power of the title track. From the '60's flavored 'Easy As It Seems' to the accordion-fueled shuffle of 'I Will Be Yours' to the heart-melting beauty of 'Goodnight Waltz', 'Brand New Day' finds the eclectic unit as inspired, passionate and commanding as ever. The Mavericks formed in Miami, FL in the late-1980's, eventually moving to Nashville and launching an incredible career that featured hits, sold out tours and the creation of a large and loyal fan base. The Mavericks created a one-of-a-kind sound that seamlessly blended elements of rock, Latino, folk, blues, country and more. Following a nine year hiatus, The Mavericks led by the mesmerizing vocals of Raul Malo, the driving swing of drummer Paul Deakin, the masterful playing of guitarist Eddie Perez and eccentric style of keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden, re- formed in 2012 to release two more highly acclaimed studio albums and toured relentlessly ever since bringing their exhilarating live shows to longtime fans.
