The Mavericks Announce ‘Brand New Day’, Coming This Spring
The Mavericks will release a new album, Brand New Day, on March 31. Brand New Day will be made up of 10 tracks that demonstrate the Mavericks’ musical range. The project includes a Tejano / bluegrass-style song called “Rolling Along,” a 1960s-influenced song tune called “Easy as It Seems,” the accordion-heavy “I Will Be Yours” and the emotional “Goodnight Waltz,” among others.
“Brand New Day expresses how we feel about the journey we’re on, as a band, as a family, as a nation, as a world,” Mavericks member Raul Malo explains to Rolling Stone. “Now more than ever, we’re going to need to be more compassionate, more understanding, more loving than ever before.” Read more at The Boot
