#TAKEALISTEN - "DAMNED (IF YOU DO)" - THE MAVERICKS

The Mavericks released their new single “Damned (If You Do)” from forthcoming album Brand New Day (release date of  3/31), to triple-A radio last week . The Latin influenced tune kicks off with a melodic guitar riff and has an infectious, swaying drumbeat, exhilarating horns and the hypnotic sound of the accordion. Raul Malo’s voice captivates listeners as he sings about the struggle between the heart and the mind, and the decisions and lessons learned along the way. Note: How are these guys NOT on the radio more? This needs to happen. The Mavericks are so far above the bar set by country radio these days. Maybe it's time that radio raised the bar to meet the standards of music by The Mavericks?

The single was written by Raul Malo and Alan Miller.

Bio Courtesy of NowPlayingNashville.com

The Mavericks is a country music band founded in 1989 in Miami, Florida, United States. Between 1991 and 2003 they recorded six studio albums, in addition to charting 14 singles on the Billboard country charts. Their highest-peaking American single was 1996's "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down", a collaboration with accordionist Flaco Jiménez.

After the band split up in 2003, lead singer Raul Malo became a solo artist. Robert Reynolds has released two solo EPs, 'Audrey In A Dream' & 'The Wintersky Works', co-founded a 'sort-of-supergroup' called SWAG with Jerry Dale McFadden - releasing the album Catchall, and performs with fellow member Paul Deakin in various groups.

In October 2011, the group announced plans to reunite for a tour in 2012. In February 2012, the group signed with Valory Music Co., an imprint of the independent record label Big Machine Records.
