Free Music Notes for After Hours
Free Music Review: Refreshing new release!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Raul Malo's new release is stellar! The musicianship is incredible. This band is so talented. The sound is far from "over-produced", which speaks volumes for Chevrier, Weaver and Lewis' skills . Malo's voice is always great but it's flawless on this recording. Its warm, comfortable and ridiculously romantic. The songs choices go from fun, to sultry to sad and Malo makes you believe he's feeling every one of those emotions.
How refreshing to see an artist making music he likes as much as his fans do and not churning out something from the recording industry "factory." His voice is unrivaled and the arrangements unique, this cd is a must for music lovers who enjoy seeing an established artist stretch the bounds of his craft.
Highlights include: Now and Then(Theres A Fool Such As I), Husbands and Wives and Crying Time.
Free Music Review: Another wonderful collection of songs with a great voice!
Hit: 5 Stars
I cannot honestly say I have one particular favorite on this CD. Nor can I say that there's a loser among any of these.
I can say that Raul Malo has become an absolute favorite of mine ever since The Mavericks and continues to do so with every release of material.
His voice is rich and smooth and very very versatile. Whether he's doing original material or covers, this man has a natural gift. It doesn't seem to matter what style he chooses either. He fits well into country, tex-mex, rock/pop, latin and standards, to name a few.
It's not often I will buy a CD without having heard a few tracks. In the case of Raul Malo, I will buy anything with him singing. I haven't heard a mediocre thing from him yet, and I get the feeling I won't either.
I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys good music with a great voice.
Free Music Review: Grows on You
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard this CD, I didn't like it. The arrangements seemed to have wandered too far away from the songs' country roots. On second and third and fourth, etc., listening I love it. The gem is the ironic Roger Miller/Dwight Yoakam song, It Only Hurts Me When I Cry.
Another plus is that he seems like a nice guy - at least a civic minded one. I gave up on commercial radio decades ago, so I rely on venues like Earth Day in Nashville's Centennial Park and benefits to alert me to performers I would enjoy.
As another reviewer pointed out, there's a brat pack feel to some of Malo's solo work. At the live performance, he sang the Dean Martin hit, Sway, which was fun and tipped us that that's deliberate.
Free Music Review: Smooth and Sexy
Hit: 5 Stars
Raul Malo has scored again with "After Hours". You don't have to be a country music fan to love this album. With his magnificent voice, Raul and his fantastic band comprised of Robert Chevier on piano, Jay Weaver on base guitar, and Tom Lewis on drums, have once again produced a record worth listening to. Following in the footsteps of the greats, Sinatra, Martin, Orbison, and Elvis, Raul and his band have created music that's smooth, sexy, and will definitely put your husband, wife, lover, partner in the mood. I've ordered multiple copies for all my friends. Don't miss this opportunity to sway with the master, Raul Malo.Free Music Review: Pure Audio Enjoyment
Hit: 5 Stars
Knowing Raul Malo's distinctive vocals from "The Mavericks" I was intrigued to listen to his treatment of "classic" country songs, as he puts it in the liner notes.What an absolute joy to my ears. His treatment of these "classics" is with sensitivity and true proffesionalism that transforms these songs into pure enjoyment that I have no trouble listening to back-to-back.The audio quality is superb with his decision to record the band "live" in the studio I consider paramount to producing such a fine recording.(Recomendations)Listen to this album on high quality audio equipment for maximum enjoyment!
