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

Customer Reviews:

What a great album of music.......2007-06-29

Dwight's unique style and approach make this an album you won't tire of listening to. I enjoy using the shuffle play feature with this album. Each song becomes a nice surprise.

The Very Best of Dwight Yoakum.......2007-03-09

Dwight Yoakum's voice is soulful in sexy sultry waves over the listener.

Great Album!!!.......2006-09-15

I'm not a BIG fan of Country Music now a days. But when I listen to this Album, it's a different story. Being from Kentucky Myself it's good to have a Country ICON from here. If you like flat out Country Rock N Roll, please buy this album you want be sorry.
