Reviews Customer Reviews for What A Crying Shame      killer country      Rating:      if you like a beautiful voice, great melodies and smart lyrics and hooks, this is the one. their "music for all occasions" is every bit as good. these guys should have been huge. great in concert, too. great dance music, 2 step, cha cha, waltz, killer version of springsteen's "all that heaven will allow". great heartache and love songs. what more can i say?     Customer Reviews for What A Crying Shame Cd      A timeless album that gets overlooked      Rating:      Remember mainstream radio country music in the early 1990s? It wasn't too bad. Of course there were the overblown ballads by Reba, Garth with his "trying to hard to sound sincere" on so many of those formulaic songs, but then there was Mary Chapin Carpernter, and Dwight, and even Alan Jackson, making the prospect of turning on the car radio a decent bet. The "highlight" of the "good old early 90s" was this album by The Mavericks, and after 15 years it still holds up. Every track is a good song. Their sound is original, but it is built on the shoulders of giants. "Oh What A Thrill" echoes Orbison. "Neon Blue", which transports you to a Honky Tonk barstool with a tallneck and a heartbreak, would make Hank Williams proud. "Pretend" and "Just a Memory" would have been right at home with Buck Owens and the Buckeroos in Bakersfield. Springsteen's "All that Heaven Will Allow" provides a different taste to a great song, and it doesn't leave one longing for the original (which is sadly too often the case when band's choose to do covers). "What a Crying Shame" is as fine of a radio song as you'll ever find (impossible not to sing along to it). This album rates in my 10 albums of all time; I'm always coming back to it. Every track is a gem. If you are looking for what the future of country music should have been, then you'll want to pick up this disc.
