Free Music Review: A disappointing follow-up to 2006's "You're Only Lonely"
Hit: 2 Stars
Malo has the voice of an angel and I own almost everything that he's ever put out as a solo artist and of course with The Mavericks. Last year's "You're Only Lonely" was full of faithful covers of some of his favorite songs. Some thought that the covers were a little too faithful and that the songs lacked Malo's intensity and I can undertstand how they might feel that way. I enjoyed it as it was a nice change of pace and showed that he does not need to go to extremes to hit home.
Such is not the case with this release as the songs are not memorable enough to withstand another treatment in which Malo curtails his intensity to bring an authenticity to the material. I was bored and in a way this release reminded me of much of Aaron Neville's solo efforts as he too has a great voice, but has always chosen really tepid material.
I want a feisty Raul Malo back, but even if you like laid back one, this would not be the one that I'd purchase as it only gets a generous 2-star review from me. I am certain that he'll be back with more fun stuff as his talent as too potent to stay down for too long.
