Americana icons The Mavericks have announced details of their highly-anticipated new album ‘Moon & Stars’. The record is due for release on 17th May via the band’s Mono Mundo Recordings imprint in conjunction with Thirty Tigers. The group’s 13th studio album marks their first new music release since 2020’s ground-breaking and chart-topping ‘En Espanol’ project. ‘Moon & Stars’ is their first full English language release since ‘Brand New Day’ in 2017.
The Mavericks recorded the tracks for ‘Moon & Stars’ across the US in Blackbird Studio (Nashville, Tennessee), Frogville Studios (Santa Fe, New Mexico) and Dockside Studio (Maurice, Louisiana). The result is an album that invokes both a timeless feel of a classic Mavericks release, while once again challenging genre conventions and pushing the boundaries of their melting pot sound.
Special guests on the album include Maggie Rose, Nicole Atkins, the band’s own ‘Fantastic Five’ member Max Abrams and Sierra Ferrell who signs on the title track and first release. The band has also collaborated with songwriters such as Bernie Taupin, Sam Hollander, Wally Wilson, and more.
