Loved their Latin feel to country music from back in the 90's.

My favorite: Putting the cha-cha into cha-cha-cha

The alternate rock radio station I listened to back when this album came out in the 90s played some of their songs and I had this cassette in my car on repeat. I'm not a big country music fan but this band The Mavericks were different. I used to work nights and would drive home listening to this.

RIP Raul
