The Very Best of the Mavericks

There's a pretty decent correlation between the extent to which crooning lead singer Raul Malo sounds like Roy Orbison and how much I like these songs ... frequently, that would be: 'a lot'. (Most Orbison-like: "I Should Have Been True".) Smoothly country with classic pop overtones staying always on the right side of lounge, and often quite delightful.
