Not what I'd hoped,

I had high hopes when I stumbled upon this import, because the track list included some of the Mavericks' best songs. I was particularly encouraged to see that the program featured "Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down," a song I'd watched them perform on TV. That performance, which must have run at least 10-15 minutes, was a tour de force, with great solos by several members of the group. I assumed the reason for this CD's short track list was that "Bottle" and the six other songs appeared in extended concert versions. For the most part, that proved to not be the case: The whole disc clocks in at only about 30 minutes and "Bottle" appears in a relatively prosaic three-minute version. Don't get me wrong: There's not a bad track on the album, and Mavericks fans should enjoy every minute. There just aren't enough of those minutes, and "Bottle" in particular will disappoint anyone who has seen what the Mavericks can do with it.

You'll play this one over and over again...,

I bought this CD about 8 months ago, put it in the 6th disc slot in my car and have never removed it. This is a great CD -- all of their best songs performed live!! The Mavericks are hard to categorize -- they aren't really country and they aren't really alt country. But, if you are ready for something that is a little bit different and haven't yet become a Mavericks fan, get this CD. My favorite song on this CD, Rancho Grande, really showcases the Mavericks talent and unique taste.
Fantastic CD that Really Captures The Feel of the Band,

This CD really gives you a feel for what it was like to see this band live. Their CDs are terrific, but live they were unbelievable. The energy that came from the stage when they played was magical. Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down is one of the many stand out tracks on this CD. They tear it up!!
