This review is from: Last Chance for a Thousand Years: Dwight Yoakam's Greatest Hits from the 90's (Audio CD)
I have never been a huge fan of country music. But in 1986 three artists released their debuts: Randy Travis (Storms of Life), Steve Earle (Guitar Town) and Dwight Yoakam (Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.) and I thought that maybe, just maybe country music was going to be saved. Perhaps that's an incredible burden to place on a musician, but I believe that they all made significant contributions even fourteen years later--especially Earle and Yoakam. There's very little on this collection that Yoakam's fans won't already be familiar with. There are only two previously unreleased tracks: the Rodney Crowell-Yoakam collaboration "Thinking about Leaving" and the Waylon Jennings' cover "I'll Go Back to Her." In addition you get Yoakam's romping version of Queen's rockabilly-influenced "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (otherwise only available as a single) and a killer version of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" from the Honeymoon in Vegas soundtrack. The rest of the album contains his hits from the five studio albums he released during the nineties (not counting his Christmas album). Each song is a gem. But if you don't already own the albums (If There Was a Way and This Time are excellent choices), this "best of" along with his eighties collection Just Lookin' for a Hit belong any music collector's library if you enjoy country-rock, or the Bakersfield sound pioneered by Buck Owens. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
