The Mavericks - Born To Be Blue

[@gaoutlaw]

The Mavericks defy all genres. Their mix of blues, country, rock and Latin is just beyond words.

[@maryshroat4185]

This guy's songs and voice turns me inside out. He's just gotten better through time!

[@lindafisher7876]

His voice just wraps around every DNA strand in my body. So silky

[@joanned6672]

I can't believe I've only just found this song 😭 Look what I've been missing out on!

[@California6567]

OMG ! What part of heaven did these guys fall out of ? I remember the Mavericks when the arrived on the scene back in 1994, and I totally loved "I Should Have Been True". Well, boys and girls, in my humble yet educated opinion, THIS song eclipses that early one. Seriously this song is PERFECTION ! And I love the latin feel of it ! This is the best song Raul has ever blessed with his incredible vocal chords !

[@petermell3104]

well California6567 there the words i wish could have said this is total heaven, were so lucky to see and hear the greatest band; singer i have ever heard.

[@longdeadfred]

unless im mistaken just exactly when did the Mavericks arrive on the scene???????...........kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjOgKulas2InJo .…..

[@purplestewart2]

Raul is Such a marvellous singer. The Mavericks band is wonderful too. Awesome musicians.

[@tipanie1]

you are the best band i have never heared so far....just discovering all your songs here, and .. what say.... WAOUH WAOUH i am dreaming here on my chair, what a voice, what awesome musicians ,,,,,, congrats and i keep this channel for my days.. xxxxxxxxxxx

[@barbararene4200]

I think this is the first time I'm hearing this song. It is really good; boy oh boy - that Raul has such a magnificent voice - a true gift. Thanks for posting this very moving song by a great group and lead singer.

[@ryeboy2u]

We've seen the Mavericks twice, my wife thinks his voice is every bit as strong as Elivis. Seen them twice in Texas.

[@barbararene4200]

I actually got into them back in August last year; I was lucky to see them in October. Glad you & your wife enjoy them - I think so many people really like and appreciate them. In my opinion, they are so much better than today's country groups. Enjoy the Mavericks and the rest of the summer.

[@mikegibbs3030]

ROY IS IN HEAVEN SINGING...LOOKING DOWN AND SMILING...WHAT TALENT!!! MAVERICKS!!!!!

[@frankeberhart265]

These boys can flat out get on it y"all!

[@johnbruno7614]

One of the best bands ever. There awesome!

[@deanncaylor4978]

THE yummiest man alive, that Raul. Thank you, Dear Generous God.

[@buckeyepilot3929]

If you haven't seen these cats live, RUN (don't walk) to their show if they come within 1,000 miles of you. You won't regret it.

[@pattiburton9976]

Absolutely 100% Fact!! Fantastic live show!!

[@TS-rd7oy]

What kind of person could ever give the Mavs a thumbs down. That's insane.

[@VincentJRigneyMusic]

Totally agree!

[@SSGTA440]

Yeah....that is very hard to understand.....

T S ~ Someone with a tin ear? Someone who is legally deaf? Someone who is a frustrated singer? Someone who is just plain jealous?

[@EJNOVA]

Apparently over 700 idiots.

[@tinsoldier5621]

The old Mavericks looked tough. The new band looks like a bunch of freaks and that gay guy on the keyboard is weird as is the Mexican guitarist. Tg Raul still has that amazing voice. PS Im not the one who gave a thumbs down.

[@fullwood13]

As Raoul gets older his voice just gets better. These guys are so amazingly talented with a truly unique and original sound.

[@Steven-v3h]

Remines of roy orsbion singing

[@jillkingsbury5552]

Raul's voice is so clear....like Roy Orbison s ..... beautiful !!

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them twice this year. They never disappoint.

[@Dldmny]

Raul is not only a great singer, when on stage he is smiling and subtly keeping in touch with each of the musicians backing him. Who wouldn't die just to be playing in a band like the Mavericks?

[@DHudelson]

A Mavericks concert is such a celebration of life. Along with the best singer on the planet, the entire band's showmanship and joy for what they do are off the charts.

[@milawanklyn5581]

I listen everyday the Mavericks' such a brilliant Band reminds me of my hubby passed away 18 months ago

[@MrAtletico45]

Raul Malo is the Roy Orbison of the 21 century. He already was in the 90's but now he is the only and sole living singer who can be prepared to Roy's voice without trying to do it on purpose. He sounds just like him. Wonderful singer.

[@mariellemartin7372]

Agreed

[@normdouglas3286]

Best band ever

[@strawman8]

Raul is awesome. Raul's musikk er alltid underholdende og er fantastisk for å danse til.

[@trinopatlan1795]

THIS BAND IS AMAZINGLY SUPER , YOUR REPEITORE IS FANTASTIC, I DISCOVERED IT LAST , YESTERDAY IN FEW WORDS. SALUDOS 10P MEXICO

[@josepherlandson7966]

I loved the Mavericks in the 90's so when I bumped into them 20+ yrs. later I was taken back yet propelled forward into their greatest years. They seem happy with who they have become. I am 75 now & only in love once but married to the same woman twice! Alone again this song is my life- I truly was Born to be Blue. This song helps me live with that & I am so grateful to this band for helping me in my struggle to forge ahead. My love was someone just for me but I couldn't hold it together. Thank you Sweet Girl for the 47 years you tried to help me love. And to the Mavericks- your songs touch my soul- thank you.

[@Justaresonater]

Man these guy's are extremely under rated ! That's Kool they Kick it anyway Great Band Old/New don't matter Thanks Amigo's

[@stevenlageson1868]

The driving beat in the background is what keeps me coming back to this band. The drummer has so much passion.

[@ryeboy2u]

Thank you, Barbara Rene, for your kind words. My wife and I hit a lot of dance halls in central Texas, where this band is very popular. We dance a slow jitterbug or east coast swing to this song, actually with a little imagination, you can do a two step to it also.

[@meacenastiberius9438]

If there ever was a band that played for angels, the Mavericks fit the bill.

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Just great music and great performance

[@RandallArnold]

This song really gets into me

[@rosemaryjonston8529]

Been listening since early 90’s👍👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@big26inch]

I've always loved the Mavericks. That mix of Spanish, traditional country, and Rockabilly, not to mention the lead singers beautiful, powerful voice. This song just drives it home, awesome, awesome, awesome.

[@richardpetrey1400]

Found this band by watching a movie and I am a really big fan now. Great music!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbieblackburn9240]

I love the Mavericks. They remind me of a group from the 60's called Jay and the Americans. My sister listened to this group and she turned me on to them. The first time I heard the Mavericks it instantly took me back to the time I shared with my sis while we spent time in front of the "record player" listening to Jay and the Americans. As soon as I get off from work I'll be heading to get this cd.

[@mikedamelio5733]

This is great music, melody, singing, dang its great, Toby Keith is a big star, ugh ! The Mavericks have unmatched musical talent, the Toby's, Urbans etc., well they suck ! The Mavericks & Dwight Yoakam are simply the very best !!!

I do believe that every great song that these guys have ever recorded, has led to this moment in their career. I cannot go 1 night without hearing and of course singing along with this unforgettable, insanely fantastic song. Every single member of this band deserves all glories. I wish you all the greatness life has to offer.

So was I. Great song!

it has a country, latin, rock a billy, zydeco, Roy Orbison sound. Exemplary.

[@georgemcdonald6434]

wow awesome music . Wish they would come to South Africa

[@rae0521]

I'd like to put in a word for Paul Deakin - the Maverick's founding member and drummer extraordinaire! Just listen to the PERFECT driving beat he lays down for the others to ride on.

[@bcoldwell1]

I play in a band (Facebook, @steelcanyon) that covers a lot of Mavericks tunes, and as drummer, I love raising my left hand a mile high on every snare hit. It only makes sense to do when covering the Mavs, and when I do, it feels 100% natural.

[@MsCatslady]

Yes, it was my husband that told me about that. That the drummer sets the beat for the others. I didn't know that. Just listened to the music and singing.

[@rae0521]

@@bcoldwell1 Just a thought - perhaps raising your hand "a mile high" gives a visual cue to the others. The Mavs are spread across the stage - some maybe can't actually hear the beat.

[@williamstroud1649]

yes he is awsom

[@deanncaylor4978]

And he is SO much fun to watch. Such a juxtaposition of the coolest drummer EVER with that military-straight guy cut. Love him!!!

[@sisuboy]

KevinMichaelMichael I'm jealous. I'm 67 and missed a couple chances to see them,damn it. Raul's voice with the perfect band. I did see Roy Orbison at the Beacon in NYC about six months before he died. Raul should combine his songs,with those of Roy and the Every Brothers. Sing on,brother!

I had not heard of them until recently when my guy got into a band called "Cadillac Ranch" (they do this song and it's my fave!). I am now a Maverick's fan too.

[@7884golfguru]

Love this band,and what a voice ❤️👍

[@brucebaker7672]

These guys are not a 1990s band. They are a band stuck in a time warp for today. The stuff out now is not even close to the melody this group can deliver.

Raoul Malo is just plain unbelievable! A voice like velvet and when he sings, he sings "YOUR" story, huh? The Mavericks ROCK!!

[@hardwood7955]

He's cute too!

Maybe all those years Roy Orbison was channeling Raul?

[@floralewek4163]

I love his voice, he is the greatest n good looking too...

[@camerongawd01]

His voice is soul healing... simply soul healing!

[@Whysicist]

True Fact. (Gotta say true with fact these days, eh?)

[@alanharris6288]

I was fortunate to see the BIG O several times and I don't think his voice will ever be surpassed but Raul Malo is indeed the modern day Roy Orbison and Slim Whitman rolled into one Had the great privilege to see them in Glasgow last month and got my picture with the great and very modest an at the stage door. His "Blue Bayou" (posted on here) had the goose bumps out on my back and the hairs standing on my neck.

[@traceygrubb1778]

we need more Raul & LESS OF THIS CRAP THEY CALL COUNTRY TODAY.. WHAT A VOICE AND TALENT !!

[@robertwilletts4122]

Not all country is crap today as you say music changes there"s still a lot of great country artists around Vince Gill Travis Tritt and many others.

[@sonnydean3187]

Nashville want agree. There current priority is to entertain millenials and x'er's. And that equates to rap/coutrey. Very sad. Talent no longer matters.

[@diabolikmitchell2960]

This song is great but it's not really country.

[@petero7766]

There is lots of great new country out there today, but its usually put out by OLD SCHOOL artists.

[@CatsandJP]

They have charted 13 times on Billboard Hot Country Songs, 1 Grammy, 2 CMAs , 3 ACMs, one certified platinum in the US and Canada. Hit single in the UK because the music style is outside of country music as well, THATS WHY THEY ARE A GREAT BAND.

[@frabjousfrank]

I know it's quite a compliment when people and critics refer to Raul Malo's voice as Orbisonesque . . . but in my opinion the quality of Raul's vocals far exceed those of Roy Orbison.
