After Hours
by: Raul Malo
Release Date July 17, 2007
The first time I heard this CD, I didn't like it. The arrangements seemed to have wandered too far away from the song's country roots. On second and third and fourth, etc., listening I love it. The gem is the ironic Roger Miller/Dwight Yoakam song, It Only Hurts Me When I Cry.
Another plus is that he seems like a nice guy - at least a civic minded one. I gave up on commercial radio decades ago, so I rely on venues like Earth Day in Nashville's Centennial Park and benefits to alert me to performers I would enjoy.
As another reviewer pointed out, there's a brat pack feel to some of Malo's solo work. At the live performance, he sang the Dean Martin hit, Sway, which was fun and tipped us that that's deliberate.
