The Mavericks were and alternative country band that was very popular in the 1990s. They had many great hits and won multiple Grammies while the band was together. Their inspiration from famous country singers like Patsy Cline Johnny Cash and Hank Williams helped define them as one of the more ground breaking country groups of the 90s and made them a band that is still remembered today.

While their debut album was not received as well as they had hope, when their album What a Crying Shame hit the scene in 1994 their fortunes turned. With hits such as “Oh, What a Thrill” and “There Goes My Heart” What a Crying Shame had managed to go platinum by the spring of 1995.

Their follow up album Music For All Occasions came out in 1995 and with it came more great hits by The Mavericks. The famous song “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down” was included in this album. The song reached number 13 on Billboards list of top country songs.

The album Trampoline followed in 1998 and with it came “Dance the Night Away” which was a huge hit in the UK, reaching the number 4 slot on their top 100 songs.
