#GreatAlbums1990s – #TheMavericks – #WhatACryingShame (1994). Led by Raul Malo’s resonant vocals, this Miami country combo brought a dose of good ole honky tonk to a genre obsessed with stadium overkill at the time. Echoes of George Jones run through memorable tunes like “There Goes My Heart” and “Neon Blue.” Malo’s keening voice touches a Roy Orbison nerve on the title track, “I Should Have Been True” and Jesse Winchester’s “O What a Thrill.”

We are at #michigantheater to see The Mavericks. I, at 51, am the youngest person here. I hope they act their age and don’t stand for the whole performance.

Sitting in this #pub, feeling a bit delicate cos I've just started #AKindOfSpark by #ElleMcNicoll (which is about an #autistic kid). It's wazzing down, in a bleak #UK #Winter sort of way. I don't want to live in this stupid country anymore. I am not happy.
And then the wurlitzer plays one of my favourite happy songs. #DanceTheNightAway by #TheMavericks. (I know: they're not cool; I don't care.)

Ooh...a tiny desk concert with The Mavericks. Old guys rule! https://youtu.be/M6Rh-CzEo24 #TheMavericks #TinyDesk
As a Dallasite, sometimes I'm even more of a fan of The Mavericks than I am of the basketball team. This Tiny Desk concert is only 3 songs and entirely too short. But it's fantastic nevertheless.
