Dwight Yoakam Acoustic
If you like Dwight Yoakam's voice, you will love this album. Great album. Some great songs done very well.


Viva Dwight Yoakam!
I've heard most of these songs on previous CDs, but the fact that its acoustic, just DY and his guitar, makes the hurt more poignant, the sweet moments more tender, and the emotions so raw that it induces a visceral response deep in the soul. I downloaded this yesterday and can't stop listening. I'd highly recommend this to established DY fans, but also to people who aren't quite sure they like what passes for country music these days. Top 40-pop-country-that-all sounds-alike this is not. DY channels country greats such as Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, and even the young Elvis (as another reviewer astutely noted), demonstrating his vocal range and ability to turn a note with plenty of the signature Yoakam twang. The biggest surprise here is "Guitars, Cadillacs" sung a capella, which turns it into a haunting melody that keeps coming back to me. There's not a single bad track here.

Recommended wholeheartedly.

the hearts core revealed
This album tells the story from the hearts core where the song came from before all the bells and whistels were added. I have always been a Dwight fan. . The next best thing would be to have Dwight himself sitting on my porch with his guitar singing to me personnaly. Sit back, crack a cold one and open your heart. Hillbilly music at its best.


Favorite acoustic album - some versions are better than the originals
For one I love acoustic music. I really enjoy this CD. And second, Mr. Yoakam, who is a remarkable vocalist, somehow reworks the depth and emotional arrangement of each track and in doing so gives a refreshing way for listeners to hear and take in these songs. Most noteworthy is Guitars, Cadillac's, which is exclusively Yoakam's voice; just his voice and no instruments. The original version is a crowd-pleasing rockabilly take and, in contrast, the one offered in this acoustic set is slow and wailing. Wow!

Although I like all the tracks included in this CD, a few versions have become my favorites: Bury Me, Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room, A Thousand Miles From Nowhere and Sad, Sad Music.

The acoustic version of Home for Sale would have been on my favorite list, but I love how the original is arranged.

More versions can make my favorite list but I have not heard all of the originals yet. I just started listening to this artist. He is now my favorite male vocalist. I do intend to get the rest of his collection.

I am telling you, one can learn a lot about music - just by studying the works put out by Mr. Yoakam. I look forward to his next CD. I also hope he considers putting out a gospel album. .
