Malo is one of those rare singers who transcend the mundane with the sheer operatic sweep of his marvelous instrument.
-
Lucky One isn't the Mavericks, but it's closer to what made that band great than anything Malo has recorded in a while, and shows that he remains a great singer and powerfully imaginative musician regardless of the context.
-
The real virtue of Lucky One, as on all of his previous efforts, is Malo's voice, a full, rich tenor that conveys dramatic emotional sweep without gratuitously emotive technique.
-
Overall, the good songs on this album outweigh the average and just plain boring tracks.
