The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam
Moving to Los Angeles after an unproductive stint in Nashville, Kentucky-born Dwight Yoakam made a name for himself by reviving the more robust honky-tonk traditions of the Bakersfield Sound--a bold contrast with Music City's assembly-line approach. In 1984, his independently released six-song EP, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., added to the buzz and helped land him on Warner Bros./Reprise. Now, twenty years later comes The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam, a superb single-disc distillation of the four-CD box, Reprise Please Baby: The Warner Bros. Years. With 20 tracks spanning his recording career and sequenced in chronological order, the set rolls along with gusto and verve. While not covering every one of his releases (the Christmas and covers releases are omitted, for example), there are some singles and soundtrack entries that fall nicely into place. --David Greenberger more

Oh yeah...and I sing along. This is sophisticated country. This CD will please your senses and awaken your imagination. If you think you don't like country music...listen to this one and you'll think again.

- All his best stuff
Not that much into C&W despite living in Texas for over 30 years. To me, most of these acts all sound (and look) the same. Dwight Yoakam really is different. Good songwriter, unique style and takes his que from performers like Buck Owens...

- Honky Tonk yes but...
I picked this CD up mainly because I've always liked Dwights very unique and unmistakably twangy voice and style.I have to admit that I've never heard much of his music and can't say I'm a fan and maybe that's why I didn't really take to...
