What Makes The Mavericks' Music SO UNIQUE and Addictive? From a Miami bar band to Grammy winners—this is the story of The Mavericks and their genre-bending frontman Raul Malo. Short version: they smashed country, Tex-Mex, rockabilly, and pop into one glorious cocktail. We cover the band’s Miami origins (1989), the breakout with What a Crying Shame, and their 1996 Grammy win for “Here Comes the Rain.” We also dig into Malo’s film moments: he performs “I Don’t Care If You Love Me Anymore” on the Michael (1996) soundtrack and “Moonlight Kiss” in Zombieland (2009).
