Weekend Music

 

The great Raul Malo, singer/ guitarist/ songwriter of The Mavericks as well as a solo artist, passed away on December 8, succumbing to cancer at the way- too- young age of 60.  Malo co- wrote the two songs we're featuring today with Kostas Lazarides, "What A Crying Shame" (a live version at the BBC from 1994), and "Here Comes The Rain," where his 12-string Rickenbacker guitar and what's been described as his "velvety baritone" are on display.  Great memories from him through the years.  R.I.P.
