Regular guys, uncommon talent
, February 15, 2000Reviewer: Dave Koger - See all Dave Koger's reviewsHaving met and spent time with Raul, Robert, Nick and Paul back when 'Crying' Shame' first began getting some serious airplay -- before Robert married Tricia, their one tour bus was used and a thin Raul wore a hat -- I've been there to watch the forces of the market and Nashville's recording company elect-few lift up these guys and then set them aside when their music refused to follow the trends in "so-called" country music. The Mavericks were never country in the traditional sense, when country was still basking in the traditionalist revival. It was the power of their music's quality and style that forced radio to listen and play. Now that country has been taken over (once again) by greed, money, Stephen Spielberg (DreamWorks Nashville) and Michael Eisner (Disney) -- I guess that is redundant --and according to Alan Jackson, "country is dead," the Mavs still can't get a break. Still, except for the paychecks and concert price they can demand, I bet the boys are happy not having to be anything but what they are, "the best band in the world," or as some have said, the reincarnation of The Beatles' musical spirits. Their music knows no genre and that is a good thing. Country needs to wake up and get back to basics like the Mavericks. Dave Koger, Member of the Country Music Assn. ...

Pro Reviews: Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90's: The Best of the Mavericks
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The Mavericks were one of the most acclaimed country bands of the '90s and, for a brief moment, they were among the most popular. With their third album, What a Crying Shame, they were at the zenith of their creative powers, and they were rewarded with great reviews and sales. They maintained a high level of creativity with its two follow-ups, 1995's Music for All Occasions and 1998's Trampoline, but their audience shrank somewhat, turning into a cult following much like Lyle Lovett's -- they were popular, going gold with their new albums, but they didn't have crossover hits. That was a crying shame, because as the 1999 singles collection Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90's: The Best of the Mavericks proves, they kept a high level of quality. That doesn't mean that Super Colossal is a perfect collection, however. Like most '90s hits compilations, it's baited with unreleased material. Usually, that means there's just one or two new cuts. This time, there are no less than four new tracks, which means there are only eight hits on the record. The new material -- including covers of "Here Comes My Baby" and "Think of Me (When You're Lonely)" -- isn't bad, and the Tex-Mex-flavored "Pizziricco," in particular, is pretty good, but the fact that a quarter of the album is devoted to new material means that there's a lot of good stuff missing here. Still, it's a good roundup of the best of the best, and a nice reminder to casual fans who haven't paid attention since What a Crying Shame that The Mavericks have a lot more to offer. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

In each album they have sounded great,
but not varied up their material very
much. It's pretty much Brooks and Dunn
meet Los Lobos with a pinch of Orbison
on every song. Different than everything
else out there? Yes. Just not the most
diverse sounding CD. That's a cryin'
shame.
