A Must Have Classic

When he was playing clubs in the 1980's his brand of Country was so Traditional, is was considered radical, and Alternative. If you're Dwight Fan and you don't own this Classic debut,
you should do yourself a favour and Buy it Now.
There was, what was known as a "Cow Punk" movement in Los Angeles, and he often was billed with these acts even though he was playing "Real"
Country music. Not what you heard on the Radio then, or even today, but it was real.
This album is Flat out fantastic, and if you like it REAL you gotta
have this. If you've never bought a Dwight Yoakam album, start here,
and you'll be buying the rest for sure.


Greatest album
I bought this years ago and wore it out in college. . obviously you can see from all the reviews this is fabulous. . . good CD to buy to get a taste of DW. He rocks!!!!!!!!1.


Get the 2006 Rhino Re-Issue Instead of This Version!
But trust me: Spring for the extra few bucks and get that digitally remastered 2006 Rhino re-issue. Don't get me wrong; I love this CD to death. Not only does it have ten demo tracks in addition to all ten tracks that are on this version of the CD on the first disk, but there's a second disk with a smokin' live concert from the Roxy in L. A. from '86. If I could, I'd give the Rhino re-issue six stars. It's that good.

KNON 89. Classic this is a great album! What more can be said. 3 Radio

Hillbilly music is the only thing that keeps me hanging on.
He previously had released an independent label album, which had several of the same songs that are on this one. This was Dwight Yoakam's major label debut album. (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?".
