In Time (2013)

With a Cuban-American lead singer, garage band ferocity, an intense live show and a deep love of both romance and pure country to go with the polyrhythmic beats the Mavericks were raised on, they were unlikely superstars. Yet, the Mavericks distilled countrys essences, bulked them up with a big, raucous sound, then broke ground for the format that saw people from all walks of life, many cultures and some surprising places lining up for hits like Here Comes The Rain, Dance The Night Away and All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down. Twenty years later, the little band that could returns, more soulful and innovative than ever. Again drawing on myriad influences - from Buck Owens tonk to Roy Orbisons heartbreak, Ravels eroticism to Buena Vista Social Clubs infectious rhythms, Patsy Clines brazen emotion and that little Mavericks magic. For their first sessions in almost a decade, it was spontaneous combustion; literally, the band falling into step with the euphoria they were known for. (Universal)
