The Mavericks first release was in 1992 with the album "From Hell To Paradise". The band at this time consisted of Raul Malo, Robert Reynolds, Paul Deakin and David Lee Holt. The first single was the title track "From Here To Paradise", but it did not get charted, nor much airplay on radio stations.What it did do was get the guys experience in the record making industry and showed the folks in the industry a new and creative style. Raul had written 8 of the ten songs and was developing into a first class song writer.
