However, the release did not spin off any top 40 hit singles in either the US or the UK, and the band found itself in a financially precarious situation. The album was quickly reissued the following year with two additional new tracks. In 1999, the band issued a "best-of" album featuring three new tracks, called Super Colossal Smash Hits of the 90s: The Best of The Mavericks. However, the album was not anywhere near as successful in the US, charting much lower than previous Mavericks album releases and failing to spin off any top 40 country singles. "I've Got This Feeling" and "Someone Should Tell Her" also made the UK charts. Their 1998 album Trampoline produced a number 4 UK hit in " Dance the Night Away" – remaining on the UK charts for over ten weeks and becoming one of the most recognizable songs for the Mavericks in the UK. Its follow-up was " All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down", their highest country chart peak at number 13.ĭuring 19, the band embarked on the "Tour for All Occasions" and released a live album, It's Now! It's Live!. This album included the single " Here Comes the Rain", which won the band a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal the following year.

He would contribute to all live shows and studio recordings from this point forward, beginning with 1995's Music for All Occasions.

In February 1994, piano player Jerry Dale McFadden joined the band as an auxiliary player and "fifth Maverick", though he was not at this point an official full member. A fifth single, a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "All That Heaven Will Allow", was a minor hit. What a Crying Shame produced four top 40 country hits: the title track, " O What a Thrill", " There Goes My Heart" and "I Should Have Been True". Nick Kane (lead guitar) appears as the group's fourth member on the album cover, and is credited as a full member of the band in the liner notes, but joined The Mavericks after the album was recorded and does not play on this record. Holt subsequently left the band, and The Mavericks recorded their follow-up What a Crying Shame as a trio, augmented by session musicians. In 1991, the band was signed by MCA Nashville, and their first major label release, From Hell to Paradise, debuted in 1992. This line-up issued an independent self-titled LP before Peeler was replaced by David Lee Holt. The band initially consisted of singer Raul Malo, guitarist Ben Peeler, bassist Robert Reynolds and drummer Paul Deakin. The Mavericks began their career within the punk and alternative music scene in Miami, Florida, frequently playing on the same bill as emerging acts including Marilyn Manson.
