A Conversation with The Mavericks’ Paul Deakin – HuffPost 6.17.14

Mike Ragogna: You’re on the Twenty-Five Live Tour. What has that been like? Has it been any different from any of your non-anniversary tours?

Paul Deakin: I probably have to lump in since we’ve gotten back together, since the hiatus, and to be honest with you although we did look at a retrospective and the name of this tour this year and maybe next year, because that marks the twenty fifth anniversary which is a milestone, the difference is that we consciously went all the way back to the beginning and picked and chose some songs that were representative of the band over the years, including some covers that we did at the time that reminded us of that. But really, the main difference in the band dates back to the year before this when we got back together and just that it was a lot of fun again.
