Reviews Customer Reviews for Super Colossal Smash Hits Of The 90 S      All In One      Rating:      If you are unfamiliar with the music of The Mavericks, this is the ideal cd to check out. The Mavericks have released numerous cds but this particular arrangement gives you a feel of their variety. Eight of the songs on this cd are compiled from other cds. The four additional ones fit right in. Terrific remake of the Tremoloes "Here Comes My Baby". My favorite Mavericks song, "Pizziricco", is available only on this cd.     Customer Reviews for Super Colossal Smash Hits Of The 90 S Cd      Great band..great alternative country      Rating:      Love the Mavericks...this is a great CD. Though I must admit that I don't like all the songs by them, but their 'mixed-genre' and their alternative styles of country music are as attractive as it gets, not to mention ..HIS voice! My personal favourite is "Things I Cannot Change", which is not included in all their other greatest hits CDs, such as the '20th Century Masters' version...which is disappointing. This album also includes other catchy hits such as "Here Comes the Rain" and "I Should Have Been True". I may have not learned to adore most of their songs yet, but those 'few' favourites that I like, have already earned them as one of my top 5 favourite country artists/groups. And those 'few' songs are not only good, they are just plainly some of the best! Editorial Reviews for Super Colossal Smash Hits Of The 90 S Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      It's not encouraging that only one of the four new songs on this 1999 greatest-hits package, arriving after a layoff of more than a year, was cowritten by Raul Malo. But we come not to bury the Mavericks' future, but to praise their past. They're the strongest argument that the change in Nashville in the '90s hasn't all been for the worst. Whether the songs lean toward country or early-'60s pop-rock, they invariably have a good feel, good melody, good hooks. They ring simple and from the heart, without guile or pretense. The musicians are invariably smart, stylish, and sympathetic. Their chops are undeniable, but the ensemble playing makes it all work, and the soloists never upstage the songs or Malo's unforgettable voice. Finally, for all the talk about the Mavericks' Latino-country fusion, it's really more pan-Caribbean than strictly Latino. This is the most festive-sounding country music ever. --John Morthland
