Returning guests Edwina Lambert and Robert Reynolds (The Mavericks, Radio Face, 67 Sun) join host Mark Potter and take a look back at the "What A Crying Shame" era of The Mavericks. Released thirty years ago, the 1994 album heralded a major step forward for the band, producing not only songs that continue to thrive to this day, but also leaving an unforgettable mark on music history.
The discussion includes the rotating guitar slot in the band (from David Lee Holt to Bill Dwyer and Nick Kane), the recording process, producer Don Cook, song selection, the music videos and more. It's a thirtieth anniversary celebration of a truly timeless record and era!
