Maverick Didn't Come Here to Lose! | Reviewer: Ronnie Z. McCann | 8/6/10
Bret Maverick has been my favorite fictional western character ever since I was 7 years old, when the TV series "Maverick" debuted. Bart was OK, but Bret truly was Maverick!
As soon as the 1981 pilot for the series "Bret Maverick" played that song sung by Ed Bruce, I knew immediately that would become one of my favorite songs of all time. I really don't know any song that I like any better. The song completely captured the entire nature of the Bret Maverick role and character and summarized in a couple of minutes the gist of all of the Maverick TV shows or the Maverick movie.
The old Maverick theme song that started out, "Who is the tall dark stranger there? Maverick is the name..." was pretty good as far as TV show theme songs go, but "Maverick Didn't Come Here to Lose!" as I like to call it, is a classic. It could have stood on its own if released as a Country single, even if I had never heard of or seen the Maverick TV show.
I rate it 6 stars out of 5 stars!!!
