This is a great CD! It has some really kickin' Cuban tempo numbers and some soft lovely ballads as well. Anyone who has heard Raul Malo sing knows that he has an amazing voice and he either wrote or co-wrote most of these tunes as well. My favorite is "I said I love you", a salsa rythm number with English lyrics. It has some fun twists and turns with the lyrics that you rarely hear in the crap that radio feeds us. There are a couple of songs that I do not care for, one in spanish and the other in english. "Ya tu veras" seems repetitious and the duet with Shelby Lynne, " Two to Tango " misses with me as I just have never cared for her voice. The CD itself is nicely balanced with up tempo songs followed by slower ones, and the english sung songs lead you into the ones sung in Espanol. There are lyrics in both english and spanish, just in case you want to sing along without making up your own! haha- There are translations provided as well if you do not understand spanish. If you like Cuban/Latin music, I think you'll really enjoy this CD. It's rather funny that I did not care for the Mavericks when they were actually getting air time on the radio, but when I heard "All you ever do (is bring me down)," I gave them another listen. Sure glad that I did! It sounds like Senor Malo had great fun making this music for us and I am looking forward to more music from this man.Read full review
Now this cd is one of the Greatest to come out of one of the finest male vocals in this Olde Country. Its so full of fun .A must have for all ages! I've been a big Mavericks fan from the get-go.Raul Malo really showed us all he can stand his own ground. As far as his new release "After Hours" and the previous release "Your only Lonley" , Music for my Moler ( dentist office trash). He doesn't have enough music out to start doing what Rock has-beens do when they run out of writing skills.Mr. Malo , stick to your own.Andrew Wojcik Hockessin ,Delaware
