The Mavericks
I just became aware of a country group called The Mavericks and have heard a bunch of their songs.
I couldn't help notice the beautiful steel guitar in their music.
So who is the steeler and what kind of steel does he play?
Also any other info on this group would be apppreciated.
Thanks James,Jr.

James, the Mavericks released their first album in 92'"From Hell to Paradise" with Steve Fishell on steel. The second album "What a Cryin Shame" featured Bruce Bouton on steel. Here's a link to a bio.

I saw the Mavericks live here in Atlanta right after they originally got signed, before the first CD release.
I was really excited about the "new direction" they'd be bringing to country radio, as the main lead instrument in all the songs was a gal playing viola.
The rhythm section had a very powerful tele crunch going on, in fact they were the loudest live country band I'd ever heard.
Oddly, when the record came out, the only thing remotely similar to the live sound I'd heard was Raul's voice.
I've never figured that one out.

In my opinion, they had some of the best sounding studio albums. Their "Music For All Occasions" is one of the best mixed albums I have ever heard. I never saw them live.

Mike W.,"Music For All Occasions" was a fantastic album. Great pedal steel on my favorites, "The Writing on the Wall" and "If You Only Knew," along with "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down." I lost that CD when I left it in my car and someone took it out on a joyride, and totaled the car. All the CD's that were in the trunk-mounted changer were lost. (Thank God it was a leased car)
