The Mavericks - Words and Music - 2013

The Mavericks (Raul Malo, Robert Reynolds, Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez and Jerry Dale McFadden, with added accompaniment on accordion, bass, saxophone and trumpet) landed in WFUV's Studio A on the eve of releasing their long-awaited reunion album, In Time. The 8-year wait was worth it for fans of the genre-defying Americana-ish combo, who spoke with WFUV's Rita Houston about their varied influences, their early days in Miami, and the joys of playing in a band with a shared history. And there were quite a few laughs as well!
