Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)THE MAVERICKS - LIVE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS is a fabulous concert DVD. I own only one other such DVD: the BeeGee's ONE NIGHT ONLY. It is an awesome DVD, too, but I couldn't tell you which I like better; they are just different. I had never seen the Mavericks before but I'm now a huge fan. The lead singer of the Mavericks, Raul Malo, has a super voice and is a charismatic performer. His singing style has been compared to Roy Orbison, a comparison which has some merit, and there are strains of an Irish tenor there somehow, too. This DVD has few flaws. Each song is a delight with some songs rising above others to be my favorites: DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY, I SAID I LOVE YOU, ALL YOU EVER DO IS BRING ME DOWN, SHINE YOUR LIGHT, HERE COMES THE RAIN and, maybe the best of them all, THE NIGHT THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN. I'm not going to pretend that I know a lot about music but the arrangements all are very well done. On stage with the Mavericks is a quartet brass section that adds a lot to the mix. I have read that the Mavericks started out as a country band, but I think anyone would be hard pressed to label them such now. Rather they seem an amalgamation of different musical styles: part country, part tejano, part rock and part pop. Recorded in Austin at the famous Stubbs BBQ on June 2, 2004 in front of a youngish crowd of fans, THE MAVERICKS LIVE is not only an entertaining DVD to view but one also feels witness to a unique musical category being created. You can't go wrong with this one.
