The Mavericks - " Moon and Stars '' .....


This band has been around for over 30 years and their most recent music issued on May 17th or somewhere around that time, I think is their best effort. Give it a listen as the band and Raul Malo's voice are something really to enjoy. Great new music in 2024 from a great band and singer. Thought I would pass it on to everyone. Enjoy ......

 Big fan of Raul and the band, been meaning to check this out. Thanks for the reminder !

…….hopefully this music should garnish some musical wards for them as every dong, at least to me , is very good as well as danceable after a few wines ! I have my other favorites of there’s but this one like . I have seen them perform twice this year doing a lot of these songs and had a blast .

I'm guessing you meant 'song'! 😆

 Years ago I bough Rauls "After Hours " for my parents. They absolutely loved that disc.

…..,yeahhh I meant ; “ song “ . My typing is not good and never has been but should have re-read my post . My apologies …..

Streamed it last night on Tidal...one of the few whole albums I have listened to recently...well recorded..with a lil toe tapping at times.

……winoguy17 absolutely nothing with drinking wine ! However one of the usual “ thread locusts “ commented or at least I interpreted it that easy the he would need a lot of wine to listen to it . So drink as much as you enjoy . I live in the Finget Lakes here in New York State and I am surrounded by wineries . NY had come a long way in the past 15 years in making some really good wines ……wine and the me music from Mavericks has been giving me a ton of fun this summer ! Enjoy and cheers …..

Love the band and Raul. They really hit their stride a couple of years ago moving forward and I'm always thrilled to buy some tickets to their shows.

….incomparable live performance on the pool deck of a Caribbean cruise earlier this year. First time hearing them.

Good band I have a couple of there cds.That I picked up at a thrift for a buck each.

…….you saw them on s cruise ship ! I bet you that was blast of a party !!!!

Mr. Bear, thank you for the great recommendation.  The Tidal information page says “…If you loved them in 90s, Moon and Stars will remind you why” and that’s pretty much dead on.  

Some albums, often those whose songs vary in style from track to track, take a few listens to really take hold.  Moon and Stars is familiar and fresh at the same time and pulled me in right off.  

Much obliged 😎

Listening to M&S now.  The first cut wasn’t holding my attention, but then came the second cut…

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hadn't listened to these guys in a long time--thanks for the reminder.  Raul Malo is a wonderful vocalist.  M&S isn't quite as rollicking as their older stuff--a little more Latin pop-oriented but with his voice it comes off well.
