I have listened to a million songs in my life and rarely do you find one where the tempo, words and singer fuse together so completely. "I Should Have Been True" is forever etched in my mind. Raul's voice just magnifies the deep pain and regret of a lost love. If all the music in the world were destroyed and I had just this song, I would be happy and content.
Allan Mika You don't have to be without the most beautiful music on earth. The Mavricks are better than ever now. I just saw them in Fla.in concert, in 2018.
Bennie Sweat yes your 100% correct. Comment on them on every song. There incredible, saw them in concert December 2017 in Lynn Mass. Just awesome. Get bigger every year.
No one can describe the pain, hurt & sorrow when a spouse leaves for someone else unless they have been through it themselves. Remember this, no one stays young forever and as time goes by they will regret what they have done, and then it is too late. Time is a great healer.
Superb! Not since the legendary Roy Orbison has there been a voice like this in country music. Raul Malo is right up there with the best. Some of the music arrangements are reminiscent of the Every Brothers, Elvis, Conway Twitty and others of the country music of the fifties and sixties.
Raul is so good!. But Elvis was exceptional, and he was not just country. And neither was Roy or the Everly brothers. Elvis did Soul, R & B, Rock n Roll, adult contemporary, love songs, gospel and even some borderline Opera. Please remember that and these great voices and talents.
Kim Bertram Yep, you are right, no one can sing as many songs and cover them the way Raul does, from Roy Orbison, Ernest Tubb "Waltz Across Texas." Johnny Cash, he doesn't imitate them, he does them sometimes, even better.
I do like his voice. But I also really like Morten Harket's voice. He's the lead singer of a-ha, remember? Take On Me? That band had so many other great songs.
For anyone who has ever lost someone? This song reaches into the deepest parts of your soul. The Mavericks have been in a league of their own since day one. They continue today with that same exceptional performance live or in the studio and if you ever get a chance to hear them live they are truly the best of the best.
1955RodHot I agree with you. I know who they are and just love them. I wish our radio stations up here in New Brunswick, Canada would play them. I think they went to Prince Edward Island last summer, but were rained out.
so fuckin brilliant ! ! inever really listened to thembut i'm making up for it now my biggest mistake since I've had a computer please sing on raul and the great mavericks
Great tune never heard this song I knew of the Mavericks , but this song haven’t heard played anywhere else well done to. Technology to be able to listen to some great songs on links
I first heard the Mavericks moons ago on radio in Australia but they stopped playing Country Music, Always loved the way they play and sing, way better than the younger singer climbing the Country Music ladder. Happy to have found them again. the music is magic to my ears and no-one has a voice like Raul, everything unites together in every song they sing.
I'm amazed at how much I love this band. Raul is such a awesome singer. Great stuff!!! It's now 2021 and still listening to this great band imho RAUL MALO has one of the best voices of any living Male artist out there today. Believe me if you listen to this band once you will fall in love with them. 🥰
Gary Keffer yes I agree. Imo he has probably the best voice out there than any living male artist out there today. And a must see in concert they keep the place rocking really great one of the best concerts we've seen. 🕺💃
@@punnetsquareXY 4 years later and I still agree with you about being the best love ballad. We seen them in concert in Lynn Mass on December 2017 and they were awesome. Thought I'd share that with you. Seeing how your comment was definitely right on. Hope your still listening and staying safe January 3rd 2021 wishing you a happy New year. 🥳
These folks have laid down a lot of great tracks. They have been a favorite of mine for an awful long time. This is Raul's keynote song, IMO. I can't recommend them enough. I'm surprised that the views are so low.
My Gosh Man ! This man has the smoothest voice I’ve EVER HEARD !!!!! So effortless in even his upper register notes ! I would LOVE to see these guys in concert ! I have loved them for years but recently rediscovered them here on TH-cam ! Prayers for Raul !
It is such a shame that these boys did not go farther than they did. They have such beautiful voices that just turn music into magic. They touch my soul with every song they sing. Keep the great work Guys. I love your music!!!!! :)
This band is just totally awesome. Love this song and all there songs. It's now 2023 and still listening to this great song a truly great love ballad. I've also had them in my playlist for at least 6 or more years. 🤠🕺💃
Saw them in concert about 20 years ago. They opened for Mary C Carpenter, who is why we were there. Never had heard of them!! I was SO blown away by Raul and when they finished.....I would have rather kept listening to them!!! I didn't want them to stop! It was an amazing concert, I went out and bought every CD they had out!!!!
I Love this Song!! It hurts me bad because I was Such a Thoughtless Man. and Now I'm alone..the word's hit me!! where my feeling's are? or should I say! where they were...
I can't believe I just heard of this band last weekend. How is that possible? This guy has a golden voice. Better late than never I guess. Every song is good!
In 2011 my ex and I drove all over Europe for three weeks....I had four Mavericks CD's and we listened to them all the way though our trip. Love, love, love this band!! Come back!!
One of my favorite songs! What a heavenly voice, some people can seriously sing and others have a voice, that can make the dog run under the bed!..lol. But, wow this guy is truly blessed...😎👌👍💃🏻.
I have a friend that looks like a younger Raul. My hubby has known this kid for years and never thought it until I brought it up to him one day. He totally agrees with me.
One of the greatest bands ever! And this is coming from a 63 year old country music expert! These guys were definitely above their time!!
And thanks to TH-cam we can still enjoy them
I still melt to this mans voice, the entire band is awesome.
The Mavericks are a One-Of-A-Kind Band like The Beatles. Never will be another Mavericks. They are on another Level of Musicality.
Agreed. The Mavericks will always stand alone.
I have listened to a million songs in my life and rarely do you find one where the tempo, words and singer fuse together so completely. "I Should Have Been True" is forever etched in my mind. Raul's voice just magnifies the deep pain and regret of a lost love. If all the music in the world were destroyed and I had just this song, I would be happy and content.
He has another song that does the very same . It's called "Born to be Blue
Allan Mika you are 100% correct. This guy and band are incredible. And bigger than ever in 2018.
Allan Mika You don't have to be without the most beautiful music on earth. The Mavricks are better than ever now. I just saw them in Fla.in concert, in 2018.

hes channeling Roy Orbinson

True words of wisdom. Thank you so much. God bless.
So so true if only
Raul has one of those one-of-a-kind crooning voices that makes you just melt.
love this song & all of the mavericks especially Raul
Yes, kinda sounds like Roy Orbison
That’s right!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! How can you not fall in love with his voice??
One of the best voices country has right here the tone is unmatchable!
I love the Mavericks! And Raul Malo's voice is one of those 'one-in-a-million' voices.
Superb! Not since the legendary Roy Orbison has there been a voice like this in country music. Raul Malo is right up there with the best. Some of the music arrangements are reminiscent of the Every Brothers, Elvis, Conway Twitty and others of the country music of the fifties and sixties.

I so miss these I want the 1990s back those were the good old days
Raul Malo has the BEST voice on the planet...period!

After all these years, only 130,344 views? I guess I belong to the .00001% of people who are privileged enough to know who The Mavericks are.
I completely echo your thoughts!
Us as well
Same here!!!!

Best song of any genre in the late 20th century, bar none. Mavericks forever!

I cannot believe its 2021 and I am just learning of this fabulous group. I love them. This song is my favorite so far of 3 CD's, I just got on ebay.
I love one of his new songs, AND WE DANCED, based on a story Malo heard about a woman whose husband died in the Ukraine war.
My Gosh Man ! This man has the smoothest voice I’ve EVER HEARD !!!!! So effortless in even his upper register notes ! I would LOVE to see these guys in concert ! I have loved them for years but recently rediscovered them here on TH-cam ! Prayers for Raul !
