This review is from: Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. (Audio CD)
This was Dwight Yoakam's major label debut album. He previously had released an independent label album, which had several of the same songs that are on this one. (Good luck finding a copy of THAT album.) Dwight wrote seven of the ten songs himself. The remaining three songs are covers of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", Ray Price's "Heartaches By the Number" and Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man" (which became Yoakam's first hit). Out of Dwight's original songs, "Guitars, Cadillacs" was a big hit and "It Won't Hurt" was a minor hit. Yoakam was a breath of fresh air at the time this album came out, playing a more traditional "honky tonk" sound, at a time when Nashville was embracing a slick "urban cowboy" sound. This is a solid debut album by an important artist. One peculiar thing about the album is that it ends with Marlon Brando asking "What Indian reservation is this?"
