Today

This album has a nice upbeat feel, several of the songs are song in Spanish. Raul sings with very good enuciation (especially when singing in Spanish). I only speak very limited conversational Spanish, and after listening to this album I want to learn to speak the language more fluently.

His first solo effort, sans The Mavericks, is a great debut! His rich, strong tenor carries these songs well. The title track 'Today' is a lively upbeat number about being in love. 'I Said I Love You, and 'It Takes Two To Tango' are great showcases of his voice. It is nice to see him branching out from the Maverics. Some more solo efforts can be seen with 'Los Super Seven'. Definitely mexican cantina music on those discs... but just as enjoyable. With a voice like his, I would love to hear him do some standards, probably best suited to rock standards, but I imagine he would do as well with others too. He proves his malleability here with trying a little rock, spanish/mexican, tex-mex and pop with latin flavor and carries it off well. I do hope we hear more from him.

Outstanding, love Raul Malo so sad he passed.

I gave this 4 stars because it wasn't as fast paced as his others but still love hearing his voice. He is a great singer and his voice so mellow and dreamy. I like the album, just not as much as his others.

Has a superb voice

I am a fan of a great diversity of music. Being a latina, I lean towards music that my roots call to my inner desire to always keep in touch with my roots. I came across Raul's music through Pandora and to my surprise I realized that he was the other vocalist on one of my favorite duets that is performed by the great Cuban artist, Eliades Ochoa, "No Me Preguntes Tanto". His songs are wonderful and I appreciate that he sings in Spanish as well as English. Insightful, earthy, and moving love songs. Just a pleasure all around. He is a gem :-)

I hate to admit it, but I had never heard of Raul Malo or the Mavericks until one morning when I drove within the reach of a favorite Philly radio station. After hearing "Every Little Thing About You," I ordered the CD. The first track, "Today" blasts out of the speakers and fills my home with energetic optimism. I am sure my neighbors have seen me spinning, whirling my way past the windows. "Every Little Thing About You" gets the fingers snapping in unison with a dramatic tango in the living room. "I Said I Love You" brings a smile to my face. Spanish tracks generate an intense desire to root around for that high school Spanish dictionary although the songs are courteously transcribed for the purchaser. I have to agree with other reviewers that there is a vague Roy Orbison similarity when one compares the tones of their voices. However, Malo demonstrates an honesty sans the syrupy quality that makes one believe that he truly feels what he sings. After hearing his CD, I found his website and signed up for an e-mail alert for his concert list. I bet if you listen to this fabulous CD, you will, too.

Classic sweet,soft, voice.Story teller in the best South USA tradition.Raul Malo is a singer to be around us for years.

Köp inte begnade skivor på nätet , gå till en bra secondhand som säljer skivor , dom flesta är noga med att inte ta in repiga skivor .

not too bad. love the mavericks. and raul has a great voice.

I always liked the Mavericks and, when I listened to Raul Malo's solo cds, I knew why. This cd is very up-tempo, especially the Latin-flavoured tunes.

Raul Malo NEVER fails, this album is another hit!

not that captivating
