Rest In Peace, Raul.

So sad. What a beautiful voice. Very Roy Orbison-esque.

Raul’s rendition of “Gentle On My Mind” is on my playlist.
Listen to it frequently....Exquisite.

Thanks.

Solo or Mavericks, his parade of outstanding songs is truly endless. And with such variety of styles, instruments, original material and covers.

Sad that here we all are on account of his passing, and yet only a couple dozen posts.

I remember purchasing The Mavericks first album after I heard “Oh What A Crying Shame” on the way to work one day.

Patriot, I had a similar experience. The Mavericks were so talented. Their songs connected with you on an emotional, even spiritual level.
