About the music:
J. D. Souther is a country rock singer-songwriter and actor, as well as a multi instrumentalist. Souther is probably best known for his well crafted songwriting abilities, especially in the field of country rock. He co-wrote some of the biggest hits for the Eagles, including “Best of My Love”, “Victim of Love”, “Heartache Tonight”, and “New Kid in Town”. He also wrote songs for several of Ronstadt’s multi-platinum albums, including “Faithless Love” from Heart Like a Wheel and “White Rhythm and Blues” included in her Living in the USA album. He also recorded several notable duets with Ronstadt, including “Hearts Against the Wind,” “Prisoner in Disguise,” and “Sometimes You Can’t Win.” He wrote “Run Like a Thief,” which appeared on Home Plate by Bonnie Raitt. He was a contributor on the Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night 1987 concert and video, sang The Platters’ “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” in the 1989 movie Always and sang the theme song to the 1989-1992 sitcom Anything But Love.
“Force of nature Raul Malo wraps his husky vocals around everything like he owns the copyright on heartbreak,” says Entertainment Weekly. Best known as the founder and frontman of Grammy-winning, multiplatinum band The Mavericks, Raul’s talent has proven to be ever expanding, and in the last couple of years he has established himself as a solo artist, as a producer and musical director and as a member of the super-group Los Super Seven. “Raul Malo could sing a tax form and make an auditor believe every word.” — Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Here’s a chance to hear a genuine Maverick, one with talent and integrity.
