Untitled

Mavericks is a collaborative album by the two original singer/songwriters of jangle pop band the dB's, Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey. It was originally released in 1991 on Rhino Records and was re-released on January 15, 2008 by Collectors' Choice Music. The reissue featured six previously unreleased tracks. The album is noted for having a more acoustic and slower sound than Holsapple and Stamey's work with the dB's.

Initial

Upon its release, Mavericks received a very favorable review from Ira Robbins, who wrote in Entertainment Weekly that the album "resonates with emotional power." Robbins gave the album an A grade. A more mixed review appeared in the Chicago Tribune, where Mark Caro gave the album 2.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that "A few of the songs sit there like pudding on a plate, but others... seep in over time."

Retrospective

After the album was reissued in 2008, Michael Berick wrote in No Depression that Holsapple and Stamey "convey a sense of worldly experience in these songs," and Aarik Danielsen wrote in PopMatters that the album belongs "along the timeline of great heartland/jangle rock recordings of all-time". Holsapple told Magnet in 2009 that people often told him they thought Mavericks was "beautiful".
