My fondest memory of this song is when me and my brother were doing karaoke in a bar, and we had about 100 people singing the last refrain of this song with us. It was awesome.
Raul Malo has the most amazing voice. Definitely there is no lip syncing here. And that drum beat at the start is fabulous. Great drumming throughout! I could play this till my ears bleed. :-)
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard. This one's personal for me. Been listening to the album for well over a month. Raul Malo's voice, I am just so glad I've been given the opportunity to have such a passion in beautiful music. Incredible harmony.
Such a simple song, just three chords over and over again, yet so beautiful, and driving at the same time! Raul Malo just has such a beautiful voice. I could listen to this over and over again.
Johnny Walker bbc radio 2 ( best radio presenter ever ) played this while I was on my way home from work one day never heard it before thougnt it was just fantastic a d still do . Was lucky enough to see the Mavericks in Ipswich z while later fantastic night !!!!! Thanks guys and thanks Johnny Walker ( his autobiography is well worth the read ) Rob ❤
Great song!!! I wish these guys were still around. I'm not a country fan, but I'm always up for The Mavericks, Mike Ness, and any band Gram Parsons was in.
A really good friend of mine that died 3 yrs ago , we would listen 2 this song every time we hung out.. God I miss him RIP Junior Ill ALWAYS love you, love Jess
country music like this will stand the test of time. maybe not a top 40 band, but truly country at heart nonetheless. the entire album just radiates with simplicity in its best musical form. artists like The Mavericks, Hal Ketchum, George Strait, Vince Gill made records my dad listened to while I was growing up and it caught my attention at a young age. it wasnt until years later I was able to listen back on these albums and really appreciate what good country was. nowadays just like with almost every genre, things seem completely washed out and replicated. this is a nice listen. a good recording and performance of the song (minus the singers bad haircut), and a total trip down memory lane. god bless youtube.
Oh my goodness, just a little over two months past my 30th birthday. But I loved this song; still do. This is what I was listening to. I now look back at that 30-year-old and think of him as young😌.
I interviewed Raul Malo and Eddie Perez live on the radio here in Australia in 2002 when I was doing PM Drive on 105.7 The River FM. They did What A Crying Shame in the studio, because they're both of Cuba, I joked with Raul and asked; "Where's my box of Cuban cigars you promised?" He laughed his head off. LOL. Nice guys and a good interview. :-)
I heard this song for the first time today when my wife was listening to a pandora station and it immediately drew me in. Freaking love it! This live performance is just as good as the studio recording, it’s perfect!
Dam, I used to listen to this group back in the 80's or 90's. I got away from listening to country music. I saw a link to this group and it just brought back amazing memories of this amazing group with an amazing lead singer in Raul Malo. Thank you.
Damn...Raul doesn't know how to sing a wrong note. I love that they actually pull off the vocal harmonies live too. Very impressive, i really hope I can see these guys live someday
They are freaking awsome!! I have always loved them! I get to see them 7/20 and so excited! I am taking my binoculars even if i am sitting 5 rows back dead center"!"
Raul Malo is incomparable…just wonderful. And how fantastic to see Eddie Perez on lead guitar and harmony vocals…just starting out his Mavericks career, and still going strong today. Interesting to compare how restrained Eddie is on here, compared with his unique rock god stage movement just a very few years later…and still now! Love Eddie!
Saw the Mavericks last night at Homestead Carnegie Library, they did this one. One of the 3 best shows I've ever seen.Played nearly 3 hours to a sell out crowd.
got to see the them as the opening act to Mary Chapin Carpenter. i was looking more forward to the till Mary took the stage. 2 hour set no break. the Mavericks were simply amazing as well. loved the show. tweeter center/great woods in MA sometime late 80's early 90's. unforgettable.
I saw the Mavericks open for MCC in 1995 at Tanglewood in Lenox. Awesome show!!! One of best concerts ever. Got picture with the Mavericks afterwards, it was wonderful. They are my favorite band, and Raul’s voice is to die for. Could listen to them all day...
I lov these tune...with oh so beauty memories with tears in my eyes....memorie to GUDRUN von BUCKEN 59 years old ..R.I.P...21 /07 / 2013...TNXS, for posting....
I remember when this song came out in the mid 90's. It is still pretty awesome to hear this one again!
Totally agree ! 🤗👍
I love how his voice doesn't change wether it's live or studio recorded
It's usually better live than in the studio.
@@davidbyerly9846 Definitely this is better than studio! I know every note on this song, and Raul has enhanced his singing all the way through.
The man was born to sing
My fondest memory of this song is when me and my brother were doing karaoke in a bar, and we had about 100 people singing the last refrain of this song with us. It was awesome.
Raul's voice certainly has held up well over the years.

+Glen W. Ford Uh.....yup. G, D, and, C.
Three chords and the truth... oh what a cryin shame.
The bridge is in "A" 4 chords
The Mavericks are one of my favorite bands EVER

Such a FLAWLESS band! Rauls voice is golden!
Reminiscent of Roy Orbison...lovely vocals, saw them last year and they were terrific!
I was thinking that yesterday...
Great song!!! I wish these guys were still around. I'm not a country fan, but I'm always up for The Mavericks, Mike Ness, and any band Gram Parsons was in.
This song is almost hypnotizing. Very nice.
if i was a singer i wish i can sing as good as Raul. malo!!!! he sings muy buenisimo!!!!!
A really good friend of mine that died 3 yrs ago , we would listen 2 this song every time we hung out.. God I miss him RIP Junior Ill ALWAYS love you, love Jess
+Jessica Morton If you don't mind, ma'am, I'm going to listen to this song again and drink one for your buddy, Junior. God bless ya, honey.
+Robby Davidson Just read your post Robby, and thought what a great idea you had. So nice of you. Love and hugs to Jessica too. Sad loss.
Love this song! Love this band! Saw them live in Austin and it was a religious experience.
Raul Malo's vibrato vocal carries this. So reminiscent of Roy Orbison, yet twangs like REM or Foster and Lloyd.
Well put! They make some very Orbison-sounding music, and it crosses all kinds of genres, rather than being just thought of as country.

Pound for pound, country's greatest voice.
Raul's voice is such a vibe . Eddie Perez did such a great job with the guitar . I can listen to this song all day 🎸🎶
Like a lower Dwight yoakam
Aug 22, 1994 - The Mavericks grab their first gold album, for "What A Crying Shame"
Oh my goodness, just a little over two months past my 30th birthday. But I loved this song; still do. This is what I was listening to. I now look back at that 30-year-old and think of him as young😌.

Raul Malo is incomparable…just wonderful. And how fantastic to see Eddie Perez on lead guitar and harmony vocals…just starting out his Mavericks career, and still going strong today.
Interesting to compare how restrained Eddie is on here, compared with his unique rock god stage movement just a very few years later…and still now! Love Eddie!
I love this band! I would love to see them again... Cincinnati! What a intoxicating voice... so smooth.. so beautiful... so much emotion...
Great band!!!
Just saw them...awesome,I have been listening to them for years!
Just wonderful -- Raul changed some of the notes, and it's even more perfect than it was originally! Thanks for posting it!
Never gets old. Love this
J'ai découvert ce band par hasard mais ils s"ont vraiment bons. Pour les amateurs de country je vous le conseille.
Absolutely love this song. The energy in this performance is unmistakable. One of the last country acts I really liked before country started to suck.
so hamdsomeeeeeeeeeeeeee uffff love them all
Saw live totally awesome
So nice to see Robert playing bass and looking pretty clean.
Fantastic sound! Incredible that this is LIVE - what an amazing band they were!
Love this band!!!❤
Les larmes aux yeux trop bons quelle ambiance profitons en et merci
Great voice...sweet guy too....
Amazing voice, top band!
what a fantastic song and band.
he really have a wonderful voice.
Saw the Mavericks last night at Homestead Carnegie Library, they did this one.
One of the 3 best shows I've ever seen.Played nearly 3 hours to a sell out crowd.
Man I love this song!! Only idiots voted no. The Mavericks eventually reunited.This is NOT lip sinc. And damn sure no auto tune.!
agreed!
Raul wouldn't allow auto tune, I don't think. Reba even only uses a little bit of it, but probably knows she don't need it.
Rauls..the real deal
I really like Raul and the Mavericks.
My good buddy and I purchased this album when it first came out and would replay it over and over until we realized we had to be at work in 3hr's.
On my bucket list...will miss them in Huber Hts., Ohio...are they playing at Red Rocks, Co?? Anybody??? I'll pay!
Raul Malo is special, his voice has great range better than a lot of what is on the air today.
love this group !
Each video I find of this song is better than the last --- like this one the best. Great music, beautiful song.
got to see the them as the opening act to Mary Chapin Carpenter. i was looking more forward to the till Mary took the stage. 2 hour set no break. the Mavericks were simply amazing as well. loved the show. tweeter center/great woods in MA sometime late 80's early 90's. unforgettable.
