DWIGHT YOAKAM - REPRISE PLEASE BABY
GREAT AMAZON SELLER, GOOD PRICE, AND FAST SHIPPING! THANKS!. AWESOME COLLECTION OF SONGS IN 4 AMAZING CDS.


Great Set of CD's
Dwight Yoakam never fails to deliver and this time is no exception. The hardback book packaging is definitely unique. Every CD has more than it's share of great Yoakam classics, with lesser tracks sprinkled in their for good measure. All in all this is a must have CD set.


excellent
I love Dwight's music and I wore the first set out so I had to order a 2nd.


Dwight Yoakam, Reprise Please Baby
So good I bought two copies, one as a gift for another Dwight fan. Dwight's Reprise Please Baby box set is FANTASTIC, thoroughly enjoyed the music and the cover/booklet is now on the shelf as a display.
Reprise Please Baby: The Warner Bros. Years.


Keep 'em Comin'
After over fifteen years on Warner's Reprise label, Yoakam left to start his own label. Dwight Yoakam really did set Country music on fire in 1986 and since has become in the words of singer Marty Stuart, "An American music essential". Reprise Please Baby (a takeoff on an early Dwight Country Blues number "Please, Please Baby") is the first box set dedicated to an artist who's nowhere near finished creating excellent material.

The first three discs follow Yoakam's career chronologically, and there are no glaring omissions. Along the way, we are treated to Warren Zevon's "Carmelita" (from Flaco Jimenez's Partners album) and Bob Willis's "New San Antonio Rose" with Asleep at the Wheel. I would prefer some lesser known album cuts to others, but as Dwight himself once said, "Music is like any other art form in that it is completely subjective in nature" - can't please everybody. I am surprised nothing from his fantastic and overlooked Christmas album made the cut though.

Disc four is the big draw with twenty-one unreleased tracks. The first ten are demos of early Yoakam standards before he hooked up with ace guitarist Pete Anderson (who, by the way, is also an ace producer as this set and Yoakam's career attest) and signed a major record deal. Then come two tracks originally recorded by George Jones and Tammy Wynette performed with the terrific Kelly Willis. The rest of disc consists of live barnstormers that show the range of Yoakam's musical taste. He shows his Kentucky roots with Bill Monroe, the puuuure Country of Hank Williams, Sr. , the swagger of Elvis (the only other white boy who could move like Yoakam on stage), and even the easygoing Rock of The Grateful Dead.

If one had to sum up Dwight Yoakam's career up to this point in one word, it may have to be what Johnny Cash thought of him, "Tremendous". .
