Music for All Occasions [Import]

Product Description
International version features one bonus track a beautiful cover of 'Blue Moon'. On this, the Mavericks' fourth album, Malo and his three bandmates demonstrate their complete mastery of this territory with its heavily echoed vocals, its low-pitched guitar figures, its chunky backbeat, and its claustrophobic sense of romance that is almost right but not quite. Bassist Robert Reynolds's ex-wife Trisha Yearwood sings a duet with Malo on Nancy Sinatra's 'Something Stupid', but the album's highlights are the four songs Malo cowrote with former NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson, including a Tex-Mex rave-up juiced by accordion legend Flaco Jimenez.

Amazon.com essential recording

If Chris Isaak comes at the Roy Orbison-Ricky Nelson tradition of three-minute country-pop operettas from the pop side, the Mavericks' Raul Malo approaches from the country perspective. Malo's dreamy, creamy tenor is every bit as intoxicating as Isaak's, and his emotional range is much broader. On this, the Mavericks' fourth album, Malo and his three bandmates demonstrate their complete mastery of this territory with its heavily echoed vocals, its low-pitched guitar figures, its chunky backbeat, and its claustrophobic sense of romance that is almost right but not quite. Bassist Robert Reynolds's wife Trisha Yearwood sings a duet with Malo on Nancy Sinatra's "Something Stupid," but the album's highlights are the four songs Malo cowrote with former NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson, including a Tex-Mex rave-up juiced by accordion legend Flaco Jimenez. --Geoffrey Himes

Well Done!!.......2006-01-29

I have the complete collection of the Mavericks' music and this cd is one of my favorites. This is a love song arrangement with each having a unique touch. "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me down" is high tempo, "Something Stupid" is a mellow duet (with Raul Malo and Trisha Yearwood), and others are simply delivered at slow and moderate tempos with some sad and some uplifitng lyrics. The music and lyrics do blend nicely and I personally think that this cd deserves more recognition than it gets. Difficult to categorize this because it is not the country tune of the earlier days of The Mavericks and it is not yet filled with the additonal horn section and miscellaneous instruments of todays Mavericks.

One of Three.......2006-01-01

I'll make this as simple as I can. If I were allowed to keep only three of the thousand or so CDs I have in my collection of Pop, Jazz, Rock, Country, Gospel, Easy Listening and New Age music, this CD would be one of the three. You can't go wrong on this one.

I Am Thrilled To Hear This Music.......2004-03-08

Desiring for many years to avoid what is today termed C&W music, I missed the emergence of The Mavericks onto the pop/country scene. After seeing the band's lead singer, Raul Malo, on a production of PBS' Soundstage, and investigating his recording history, I was thrilled to find what he and his Mavericks cohorts had accomplished.

I am of an age that can recall the smell of the dust burning from the radio's vacuum tubes as it warmed and the cadence of an Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison or Gene Pitney hit grew into my ears and imagination.

I purchased both the "Music For All Ocassions" and "What A Crying Shame" CD's, and am happy that I did.

I love this music.

Smooth, and true to the sounds of yesterday and today.......2003-03-05

A great album, this being their third from MCA (fourth album officialy). Here, the sounds of 50's/ 60's Nashville pop with a splash of country is such a wonderful treat.

The only two songs that suggest quite different, are the 12 string set "Here Comes The Rain", which deserved the Grammy it got, and the honky-tex trip "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down", which is so much fun...great video too......

"Foolish Heart" makes jukeboxs across the land ache to play it.....smooth vocals from Raul as well as Shelby Lynne and Lari White backing him up....and great GOLDEN sounds from Nick's tasteful playing on arched top electric guitar.
"My Secret FLame" carries you to lounges way across town at night, and "Missing You" is striking as the ballad of ballads. Bassist Robert Reynolds makes "One Step Away" and "The Writing On The Wall" a happy tempo, while drummer Paul Deakin makes the door in the joint swing wide open in the MEGA snappy "If You Only Knew".

Other soft sounds in "Loving You" and "I'm Not Gonna Cry For You" are sweet, and the surprise her eis the great and best version yet of the classic from a while back "Something Stupid". Trisha Yearwood (Robert's wife at the time) duets with Raul for a well done cover.
Please forgive those people out there for excusing this as a chessy, fluffy, and goo-goo project. It is a romantic themed album mostly, and should be taken as for what it showcases. THREE songs here may play tag in their THEMES sounding "SOMEWHAT" alike, but don't a lot of Beatles songs, or Frank Sinatra tunes do the same? Come on !! Nobody knows how to awaken the sounds of this era better ...than the Mavericks.

p.s.- give the goofy "One Step Away" a chance...it always puts away any gloom in my day......okay dudes / dudettes ?
Whats wrong with songs being just happy....simple?

Highlights: Foolish Heart, truly a song for the jukebox...GRAMMY? OVER HERE...Need another one for this one!
And Here COmes The Rain.....what an original.....

Mavericks by name, mavericks by style.......2002-07-27

You never know what to expect from a Mavericks album. Even as I write this, I don't even know if there will be another. Each album released so far is markedly different to any of the others, yet each is brilliant in it's own way. This is my favorite. Some of the others were more commercially successful, so obviously a lot of people disagree.

This album isn't really country, yet it has a definite country flavor (like so much of contemporary country music). Most of the songs are originals, but there is a stunning cover of Something Stupid (with guest Trisha Yearwood, then married to one of the band) which beats both the famous versions (which I also enjoy) - the original by Nancy and Frank, and the more recent by Robbie and Nicole. I have the British version of the CD, which also includes a cover of Blue Moon, which is better than either Elvis or the Marcels. Great though these covers are, it is the original songs which are the reason to buy this.

There is a great slice of Tex-Mex swing on All you ever do is bring me down, which hints at what would appear on their follow-up album (Trampoline). Most of the other songs are love ballads, beginning with Foolish Heart (this includes backing vocals by Lari White and Shelby Lynne), all sung superbly by Raul in his distinctive voice. The songs have enough variation in styles and tempos to keep the album interesting, yet they all fit together really well.

This was one of my most played albums in the late nineties. I hadn't played it for a while before getting it out to review it, but it still stands as one of my favorite contemporary country albums.

Whether Blue moon is worth the extra cost to an American, compared to the standard USA version is doubtful, unless you are totally a dedicated Mavericks fan. I bought this version at a standard price, because I live in the UK.

wonderful songs, rich and melodic sound.......1998-07-18

This CD is a wonderful collection of songs that combine influences from Rock and Blues and blend them beautifully with country music. Every song is noteworthy. The collection also shows the maturation of this band which shows a great deal of promise. Their follow-up CD (Trampoline) has mexican influences as well and continues the rich orchestral sound of this CD.

I was very pleased with this product, my sister recently got married and I was responsible for the music.... I am happy that I made this selection, everyone was happy with the music chosen for the ceremony, I would recommend it to any one looking for wedding music

A wedding minister's review.......2000-01-16

I just love this album. I am a wedding minister and many couples ask me about music for their ceremony. I am happy to recommend they buy this album for a wonderful selection of wedding music both traditional and contemporary performed by orchestras, keyboardists, harpists and others including a lovely soprano. One disc is traditional wedding selections and the other is contemporary. The selections are arranged in the order of a ceremony with choices for each part of the ceremony. The CD would be appropriate to use in a wedding if live music is not planned. I plan to add a link to this site from my website just so couples can check this album out for themselves.

Customer Reviews:

A marvellous demonstration of Handelian ingenuity...........2006-09-07

I have immense feelings of joy when ever I listen to this CD. Some of the music on it was previously unknown to me before I had purchased the CD, but it is has now come to be a definite favourite.

As the title suggests, this is a collection of rather grand music, Handel at his most ceremonial. It is the style with which he became most associated in the years after his death, and an image of grandiose surrounded him, greatly sustained by the almost biblical status the Victorian age gave him. While it has some consensus now that this image probably wasn't helpful to Handel in the long run, it is still good to hear a rousing Handel anthem now and again.

King is at his best in these marvellous interpretations. He breathes new life into almost anything he conducts. Certainly this should be no exception. Of particular note, is the anthem 'Sing unto God'. After an admirable introduction on the violins, a lone counter-tenor sings but four introspectively powerful notes, before the full and breath-taking entry of the choir and orchestra combined, in massive block chords. It is a marvellous demonstration of Handelian ingenuity, in a deceptive appearance of simplicity. The entire anthem is incredible, and one can only imagine with what wonder the first audiences listened to it.

It's a shame also that the 'Anthem for the birthday of Queen Anne' isn't more well known. Handel's treatment is expansive, and the choral refrains are remarkably varied, the first being my personal favourite, with it's imposing entry, and highly skilled counterpoint.

I warmly and whole-heartedly recommend this CD to all, in what is a stunning example of excellence, and a triumph for Robert King.

rare material, fine performance.......2006-03-02

Beautiful work by the King's Consort and the Oxford choir, of some fairly hard-to-find and worthwhile works by Handel: Ode to Queen Anne's Birthday, Te Deum, Sing Unto God. I prefer a little more up-tempo on the first Ode aria, Eternal Source of Light Divine, but that's a personal quibble and I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in baroque in general, baroque vocal works, and Handel in particular.
