On Hurtin For Real #1182, I'm calling this one Mucho Raul Malo. We'll hear Raul's solo records, his Mavericks releases, and lots more. Plus there's an old interview from the Edmonton Folk Fest added at the end. Thanks to my wife Gina (pictured) for help with that. Here's to you, Raul. - Brian & Gina

Arguably the greatest singer of this generation, and perhaps one of the greatest singers ever that country music was proud to call it's own. RIP Raul Malo. An attempt at a remembrance: savingcountrymusic.com/raul-malo-vo...

Very sad news. Rest in peace, Raul Malo. 🙏 Que en paz descanse. Una gran perdida para la música. 💔

Raul Malo perdió su batalla contra el maldito cáncer este pasado lunes 8 de diciembre a los 60 años de edad, y luchó con valentía incluso cuando el diagnóstico era uno que la medicina moderna decía que no se podía superar. Nuestro tributo a un grande. DEP www.dirtyrock.info/2025/12/adio...

Raul Malo, the soulful tenor and frontman of the genre-defying, Grammy-winning band The Mavericks, has died. He was 60.
