Yoakam is a genius Yoakam's diversity continues to amaze me. I always return to Yoakam's music when I grow tired of today's modern country and need to hear some "real country" . He's certainly a genius in his field.

I'd say this is his best album (It's certainly my favorite)
Well, to that I say a) what kind of soft porn have you been reading? (seriously, you're gettin' gypped), and b) the singing, songs, musicianship and soul in Dwight Yoakam's albums all warrant my swoon-y hyperbole. Some squeamish professorial types apparently think my reviews of Dwight Yoakam's albums verge on softcore porn.
USED RECORDS is my favorite because of the breadth of styles and songs. There's the incomparable duet with Kelly Willis, "Waiting," my favroite song ever. Then tehre's the gorgeous tarditional songs, like the Ralph Stanley duet "Down by the Sycamore Tree," then there are great push-your-tush numbers like "Loco-motion" and "Mercury Blues. " And tasty Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings covers. . . I could go on and on. Stop me before I drool!
The bottom line is this: Buy this, it will be well-used by you (harhar) and cherished for many years to come.
ON EOF MY FAVORITES
I think it is some of Dwight's best work. I love this CD. I liked the mix of songs, especially the almost 60's sound of Stop the World and Understand your Man and how the contrasted with the "classic" Yoakum sound of Miner's Prayer. The more often I listen to it, the more I like it, the beat is good and you can dance to it (smile). Dwight keeps getting better and better.
