Raul Malo, lead singer of The Mavericks, joins Bob in session from Nashville, with songs from the band's new album "En Espanol", and one that fans of a certain Englebert may well recognise!

Plus there's exclusive music from Luke Combs and the Cadillac Three, new songs from Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, Lori McKenna and Carolina Story alongside classics from Hank Williams, Sunny Sweeney and the Maddox Brothers with Rose.

The Mavericks, the eclectic rock and country group known for crisscrossing musical boundaries with abandon, have gone through three distinct phases since they founded in Miami in 1989. 

An initial period of heady success marked by big hits and critical acclaim in the ‘90s. A long hiatus starting 2003 when the musicians each went their own way. 

And finally, a triumphant reunion in 2012 which held long enough for them to recently celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary.

Best known for "Dance The Night Away" - still the UK's most played country song - The Mavericks have just released their first Spanish language album, and are due to tour the UK again in 2021.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
