(press release) Raul Malo, Grammy Award winning singer of The Mavericks announces rare solo
and acoustic live shows in April and previews new songs from his
forthcoming solo album 'You're Only Lonely' (released by Sanctuary in
Summer 2005).
Raul Malo shot to fame as the founder/frontman of the legendary
multi-platinum selling band The Mavericks, singing songs that became
massive international hits. The charismatic singer was born in Miami of
Cuban parents and has long mixed his passion of Latin music with his love
of Rock'N'Roll and Country rhythms and tunes.
Malo's forthcoming album 'You're Only Lonely' was predominantly recorded in
Nashville with legendary producer Peter Asher, which features their
favourite songs written by the greatest writers ever, crossing generations
and musical genres. With the exception of the Etta James classic 'At Last',
none of the songs on the forthcoming record are considered standards, but
they all have great pedigree. Other songs include Willie Nelson's 'Angels
Flying Too Close to the Ground', The Bee Gees' 'Run to Me', Randy Newman:
'Feels like Home' (duet with Martina McBride), The Everly Brothers' 'So
Sad', Ron Sexsmith's 'Secret Heart', Harry Nilsson's 'Remember', Wayne
Newton's 'Games Lovers Play', JD Souther's 'You're Only Lonely', and one
Raul original entitled 'For You'.

rare and intimate solo and acoustic live performances.
