This review is from: Tomorrow's Sounds Today (Audio CD)
Anyone with at least a room temperature IQ knows that country radio rarely plays country music. They either play country/pop or country/rock. If you want to hear REAL country, Dwight Yoakam is your man. Sure, he covers the Cheap Trick classic "I Want You To Want Me," but the pedal steel which dominates this track almost makes you forget this was originally a major rock hit. The rest of the songs on the album (except for the two duets) were written by Yoakam, or in the case of "The Sad Side of Town," co-written with Buck Owens. I saw Dwight this past summer on his Tomorrow's Sounds Today tour prior to the album's release where he featured many of these songs. And let's not forget the often overlooked factor in Dwight's success from the beginning--Pete Anderson, a fine artist in his own right who has released a couple of excellent solo albums. Anderson is an accomplished guitar player and has produced all of Yoakam's albums. And the two duets with Dwight's major influence Buck Owens are wonderful. Flaco Jimenez adds a Tex-Mex feel to "Alright, I'm Wrong." Now in his seventies, Buck still more than holds his holds his own and it's a real joy to hear them trade lines on the Owens-penned "I Was There." Like Owens, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, I see Dwight Yoakam making viable music for the next several decades, long after these pretty-boy flavors of the month that dominate country radio have been forgotten. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
