Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com

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

I have loved Dwight's Music for years and this is definitely the Very Best. Have shared this CD with friends and even those who are not big fans of Country loved it.

I started paying attention to Dwight Yoakam not long ago. I think he is great and what country should be.
This is the one I listen too when I'm driving. - Reviewed on 2008-08-17

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.

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 who paved the way for him. Lots of good cuts on here: "a Thousand Miles from Nowhere", a great cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" Well worth the money.
Not bad... - Reviewed on 2008-07-17

This is full of MOST of his greatest hits and some good ones I have never heard before... I listen to it constantly, and now my kids love it as well. The only criticism is that there are a few songs missing... Pocket of a Clown, Claudette, Always Late with your kisses.... where are these songs???? I thought this was a greatest hits CD?
