Hit: 5 Stars
Trampoline is The Mavericks' fifth studio album and represents The Mavericks, erstwhile 'country' band, acknowledging the joy and risks of recording 'live' in the studio, together with string and horn orchestras. This is an inspired throwback to the recording methods of those formative years of popular and rock'n'roll music It comes then, as no surprise, that Trampoline is the fullest and most dynamic album The Mavericks have produced to-date. It is also their most eclectic, with a astonishing breadth of musical styles and portraits. It is centred around the spectacular vocal prowess of singer-songwriter Raul Malo and built upon their distinctive, driving rhythm section of Robert Reynolds and Paul Deakin, on bass and drums respectively. The album opens with the brisk "Dance The Night Away'. It is an almost ska-flavoured romp, helped along by some swinging Tijuana-style punctuation, provided by the Raul christened 'Havana-Horns'; who feature heavily throughout the album. Next up is the punchy rhythm'n'blues of 'Tell Me Why', with the growling Raul Malo keeping well away from the lead guitarist Nick Kane, as he dedicates each crying note to bluesman extra-ordinaire, B.B. King. 'I Should Know' and 'Someone Should Tell Her' are beatley'n'bouncy, three-minute pop tunes with more lively splashes of colour thrown in by the 'Havana Horns'. 'To Be With You' (the first USA single) is four more, glorious minutes of pure pop - with a healthy mixture of The Mavericks' more traditional sounds, and a melody many bands would die for. The studio cast of thousands join forces for 'I've Got This Feeling', providing that enormous and full sound of classic Gene Pitney/Walker Brothers records. It is a credit to The Mavericks that they not only attempt a song like this in the late 90's, but that they pull it of so brilliantly. The pace slows down on 'Fool#1' where singer Raul Malo shows his enormous respect for the dreamy jazz crooner of a 50's nightclub. We return to the 60's pop closet for the jangly sounds of 'I Don't Even Know Your Name'. Had the Sgt. Pepper-clad Fab Four returned another favour to their contemporaries, The Byrds; it would probably have sounded very much like this. This leads us into the masterstroke 'I Hope You Want Me Too'. A uniquely esoteric mixture of 'sunshine-superman' funky guitar and organ, solo Tijuana trumpet, sitar, lazy double-track vocals and an absolutely mean-looking backbeat. This is The Mavericks at their most adventurous and invigorated. And hip. We are given a short breather in the form of the mellow lounge instrumental 'Melbourne Mambo'; the title of which speaks for itself; before being whisked back to the dance-hall days of the 20-30's with the shoe-shuffling 'Dolores'. Raul Malo grasps hold of a megaphone and with clarinet on one side and the barbershop quartet on the other, celebrates his desire for his 'star of the silver screen'. He then leads us into the temptation of 'Save A Prayer', which can best be described as a rousing gospel hop, skip and dance. The pure essence of Raul's voice is the stunning focus of 'Dream River', with simple acoustic guitar and lonesome whistling as backing. This is pure 'pennies from heaven', with Raul in the spotlight, holding the microphone to one side, and dreaming of a better time. Next up, 'All I Get', full of jangly guitars, sublime bass, towering drums, and a wonderfully understated melody, co-written by Raul Malo and the marvellous (and vastly under-rated) Nick Lowe. The closing track is their rousing Latin samba version of the traditional Spanish tune, La Mucara. Raul dons his Ricky Ricardo outfit, the horns are in full swing and Jerry Dale McFadden on piano is finally given a bit more room to move. Trampoline is an exceptional album by anyone's standard, let alone The Mavericks'. It champions a band that sounds and plays like a 'BAND', and enjoying every glorious minute of it. In an age where commercial radio is stuck in demographic slime, Trampoline is brimful of classic melodies, musical flavours, brilliant textures and some damn fine rock'n'roll. It's what it was all about in the first place. The Mavericks' have delved even deeper into the rich tapestry of popular music but their aim is true. If you already enjoy The Mavericks, Trampoline will provide further proof of their musical ascendancy. If you are new to music of The Mavericks, be prepared for Trampoline to bounce into your consciousness, and set up permanent residency. ..and yes.. a splendid time IS guaranteed for all © 1998 chris swann
Trampoline Poster
Japanese edition of the contemporary country-rock outfit's hit 1998 album for MCA with four hidden bonus tracks added: 'All I Get', 'Panatella', 'She Does' and 'La Mukala'. 17 tracks total, also featuring the international hits 'Dance The Night Away' & 'I've Got This Feeling'. 1998 MCA release.Time was when pop radio was an amazingly eclectic place. The Mavericks' latest, Trampoline, bounces between pop styles so effectively that it almost sounds like the world's greatest old-school pop station. "Tell Me Why" is brassy blues-soul like B.B. King was scoring with in 1970; "To Be with You" is countrypolitan down to its strings and backing choir, while "I Don't Even Know Your Name" could be a long-lost Hollies recording. Throughout the disc, we're offered touches of everything from Beatles-esque sitar to Herb Alpert horns, and all of it's pure, powerful pop. The standout, though, is "I've Got the Feeling," which captures the sprawling sound of '70s Elvis with all of the sincerity and magnificence required, and without a jumpsuit in sight. --David Cantwell
