From the desk of the Redoubtable - Alan Bershaw
I was playing quite a bit of Raoul Malo and The Mavericks and since his untimely death it had struck me hard and what a voice from his own joyous Tex Mex unique voiced music and to covering Kris Kristofferson standards and love songs we will miss his soaring joyous voice - here a young YOUG Raol and his band give it what for!
A special throwback to 1994, when Raul Malo and The Mavericks shared the beautiful sound of *What A Crying Shame* with that heartfelt acoustic style and timeless harmony that still touches us today 🎶✨Sharing this moment with love as we remember Raul and the joy he gave us through songs like this from the very beginning. His voice had a way of staying with you long after the music ended, and it still does.Forever grateful for these memories. Forever remembering you, Raul ❤️🎸

A bit of Lee Hazlewood’s laconic charm
Who’ll pick up all the bodies when you’re done
Wow that’s grim . . . must shake off this mood . . . . .
Sounds like Lee does Leonard Cohen . . . . . !!!?

A fine post but what, my fellow guitarists, what the heck is Brian doing here? It really looks like he is barely there and phoning in his performance here playing lead (ahem) to Keith’s rhythm guitar . . . . . .fellow guitarists what do you reckon?
Its is a mystery to me . . .was this the start of his decline and is he under the influence here already? It totally looks like he isn’t even there!!
