November 7, 1995
A vivid snapshot of one of their best-loved eras, the third installment of Dick's Picks finds the Dead stretching out harmonious rapport on a late Spring night in 1977 at the Sportatorium in Pembroke Pines, Florida. As they were so many times that year, the band was at the top of their game and this set ripples with spirit.
1994
Few acts manage to have a creative and commercial breakthrough with the same album, especially in country music, but the Mavericks pulled it off with their third album, 1994's What A Crying Shame. Don Cook's production brought the sheen of the band's melodies forward, and made the most of Raul Malo's exceptional vocals. And the splendid mix of country, retro-pop, and Latin influences would define the Mavericks' most fruitful era.
