User Reviews: Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90's: The Best of the Mavericks
Perfected their sound
This album is the best they will do.
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.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRegular guys, uncommon talent
Having 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.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBEST C&W band in the WORLD!
I don't understand why we don't hear more of The Mavericks from media outlets. There is no C&W band in the world that can come close to their versatility. They are the reason I started listening to any C&W music. I have yet to play their music to anyone that did not feel the same way. It's a "Crying Shame" that they did not win album of the year for "Trampoline"! Nothing else came close to it; including the one that did win.

Attention: Mavericks
This album of course, is a culmination of your very best........however, we are wondering where you disappeared to>?
You are still loved by your fans and missed terribly. Lets get back out there and give us some more of your fab music. Don & Cindy......Portland, OrWas this review helpful? Yes - NoSimply Perfect-o!
What we need is a Maverick's box set... in other words, buy all their albums! To fit the best Mav songs on to one 12 track disc is impossible. These songs are the very, very best of one of the most underrated bands of all time. Please pick this album up the next time you browse the music isle in your fav record store. You could not possibly be displeased.
